    I don't have them but I'm looking for a pair too and I found this website which has reviews on all sorts of running shoes. Check it out, it might help.

    It takes time, but I alternate running in VIBRAM 5 finger shoes.

    Thanks. I was looking before and saw those ones. I understand you need to start really slow with them. Is that correct? My mum has a pair of minimalist shoes and she really likes them. She also has someone she goes to the gym with who has the five finger ones.

    I figured they were another scam like the Skecher's Rocking shoes but maybe not. Hmmmmm......Interesting....
