I just started to get into barefoot running because I got nasty shin splints that just won't seem to go away.  With barefoot running, it barely agitates them.  They say to start out barefoot running before putting these on.  I have enough running miles with regular shoes and I am always barefoot.  I went out for a few miles barefoot and found I land on my heels.  I try to run on my forefoot now that they say is much better for you.  Either way, these are excellent shoes, very stylish.  Very comfortable as well, it feels like your wearing your barefeet.  Great technology for moving us forward more healthier.  Just start out slow if you never barefoot ran before though.  The track is a great place to start and that is where I am starting out.  I plan on running up a storm this spring/summer on the track with these things.  Cannot wait!
