Bought a pair of these recently and I have to say, this is the first time in my life when running doesn't feel like a struggle.  It feels more natural, not at all painful like I was accustomed to with traditional running shoes.  With Brooks, Asics, all those others I wore over the years, I always had ankle pain, knee pain, hip pain, shin pain.  In other words, running was a pain!  Now, although I am not a lot faster, I feel as though I was born to run!  I definitely recommend the Women's Merrell Barefoot Pace Glove!  I'm getting another pair just to wear with jeans!
