Aaah barefoot shoes? Which ones, if you don't mind my asking?

Vivo Barefoots, but DO NOT buy any this year -- they switched the factories making the soles, and ended up with a lot with very stiff, non-barefoot-y soles. Apparently this is a Known Issue and will be fixed by the end of the year; I'm thanking my lucky stars my old ones are holding out.

I've heard raves about the Vibram Fivefingers if you're okay with the separate-toe thing (and if your toes fit them). And there are a bunch of websites on barefoot running if you want reviews of different brands.

This is my first venture into running, but I walk a lot (no car, enjoy walking) and switched to barefoot shoes because my knees were much, much happier with them.
