i asked a sports rehab doctor about barefoot running and in his opinion, it's a short term fad, but it really is gaining in popularity. enough so that i'm thinking about trying it for myself. the five fingers seems like a waste of money though - $80 to $100 for 1/8" piece of rubber underneath your feet plus they look ridiculous (granted, running barefoot looks kinda wierd too).
