    injury wouldn't change from the shoes.....because if you drop a bar on a foot with a shoe, it still hurts.


    I'm a big fan of chucks in the gym. anything flat soled would work well tho.

    True enough. I also tend to stub my toes a bit when I wear the Vibrams though because I'm used to abusing my feet (catching doors before they swing shut, etc). Getting better about that though.

    I wear them, but only on squat and deadlift days. They do a great job of keeping my feet firmly on the ground, which allows me to drive up from my heels on both lifts.

    YES! I just got a pair a few weeks ago and LOVE lifting in them. I also like running in them on the treadmill, but I've found that when you first use them on a treadmill, you will notice there isn't the cushion any longer so your strike is LOUD.
