I would assume that it is akin to barefoot running. You would need to use more muscles and toes and there would be little to no cushioning to absorb the impact.
I was interested in picking up a pair in the past, but realized that it wouldn't make much difference for me as I would only be using them for weight lifting. (I'm fine with using Chuck Taylors for deadlifting and squatting) Another thing that seems as an inconvenience would have to be wearing/washing toe socks or not using socks all together and having to bare with stinky shoes. :P

how are the nike frees? do they feel more comfortable than normal running shoes? have you ever lifted in them? i dont know if i should get a 3, 5 or 7 too..
