5-TOE SPLAY RELAXES & ALIGNS TOES: Five dedicated toe slots and an even wider toe box give each toe the room it needs to splay, align, and articulate naturally for more natural mobility than traditional barefoot shoes on the trail. Most customers experience improved sensory perception (proprioception) on the very first wear. FLEXES & STRENGTHENS ALL-DAY: Peluvas promote research-proven foot strengthening effects all day long by giving back more mobility and flexibility to feet than rigid and even over-cushioned soles. High arch? No arch? No problem. Peluvas are lightweight and designed to conform to, strengthen, and flex with your foot's unique shape with every step. Strengthen foundational foot health, mobility, and longevity with every step. ZERO-DROP SOLE: Zero degree heel-to-toe drop mimics natural, barefoot elevation of the foot leading to a better posture, healthier stride, and encourages midfoot or forefoot striking instead of heel striking believed to reduces joint impact. BALANCED GROUNDFEEL, COMFORT & SUPPORT: Peluvas responsive “any-wear” EVA foam midsole provides just enough cushion and support for hard surfaces, while still allowing natural ground feel on rugged terrain and uneven surfaces—boosting sensory feedback for better balance and reactional response. OPTIMIZED WEAR FOR TRAIL: Superior traction, cushion for rugged outdoor adventures. A newly designed trail-specific Peluva outsole with strategically placed anatomical wear points and rubber treads ensures excellent grip and stability on wet, dry, or slick surfaces while trekking, rucking, and hiking. Our Kevlar fiber-reinforced upper offers extra puncture protection for trail activity that is both breathable on humid days, water repellant, and easy to wipe clean from dust and debris. The Strand ATR (All Terrain) features a fully redesigned, trail-specific outsole with strategic cushioning, puncture protection, and extra traction suitable for the most rugged trails demanding performance, durability, and comfort. This is your best choice for rucking, trekking, or advanced running or hiking on your favorite trails, and medium-to-high impact gym or other fitness activities. Whether you’re navigating rocky trails or tackling slippery mud, these shoes ensure stability and control with each step. The 5-toe, wide toe box design gives your toes the articulation and freedom to move naturally, helping to prevent foot fatigue during extended activities. This is ideal for those with wider feet or anyone looking for a comfortable shoe that doesn't restrict toe movement. With a zero-drop shoe structure, you’re able to maintain a more natural foot positioning for added comfort and support. The upper of the Strand ATR is made from engineered Jacquard mesh, treated with a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. This ensures that your feet stay dry and comfortable even in damp conditions while maintaining excellent breathability to keep your feet cool. The Kevlar fiber-reinforced EVA midsole offers puncture protection, providing an added layer of security against sharp objects while you're exploring challenging outdoor terrains. This innovative midsole provides optimal cushioning for high-impact activities. Strand ATR doesn’t weigh you down.. The quick-lace system ensures a snug fit, allowing you to adjust your shoes for the perfect level of comfort and security with ease. Whether you're embarking on your next adventure or hitting the gym for a workout, the Strand ATR has you covered with style, comfort, and durability. We recommend sizing a half size up from your normal running shoe size, pairing with or without Peluva 5-toe socks.
