Look for a pair that you like. run with it. There are many brands and models in the market. Once you have found the perfect pair, ship that 2nd pair onwards from Amazon. I had tried New Balance, 5 fingers and Newton. I'm currently running with Vivo Barefoot.

I run in combat boots and land with the ball of my foot, not saying that barefoot running is bad, but in africa where the ground is soft and made of soil/hardened soil its ok, but on concrete, rocks and pavement... that may sting you...

It takes some time to get used to.

I bought my 1st pair of Vibram 5 fingers 2 years ago, and it took me 2 months to get used to landing on my forefoot. But before my body got used to it, I found I had muscles I never knew of in my foot, shins and calves.

Today, I don't run long distances any more, but I run 10 x 100m sprints twice a week. Totally barefoot on a rubberized track. Feels really good and definitely much faster than wearing thick cushiony jogging shoes.

Personally, I don't think it's safe to run long distances totally barefoot due to glass and sharp stones everywhere (I tried to run 5k many times totally barefoot at ECP). Every time, there was blood involved whether due to cuts or blisters. So the Vibram 5 fingers are the next best option as they feel closest to actual barefoot running.

I would recommend reading "born to run" by Christopher mcdougall. It's a good read on barefoot running origins and benefits. It's based on a true story and a best seller.

Have both shoes. Vibram really feels too raw for my liking. Newton is e best!!!!!

Got my pair of Vibram 2 years ago, at $219. now should be much cheaper.
JB is selling pirated version , half singapore current retailing price. not sure how different it is , with the original.
but my old Vibram is still going very strong, n durable.
