I dont have them but I run marathons and half marathons and Im starting to see more and more people using them..
 
they arent made to be pretty or fashionable. they are made for your feet. so they can work like they were made to. i love being bare footed and these let me feel like im barefooted but no one can tell me i cant go in there store. ya know?
also great for fishing around ponds and rivers. they are a great shoe that fits my lifestyle.
i would recomend them to anyone. honestly they make running enjoyable. i really dont like running but in these its fun. im supprised noone on here has any yet.
 
I bought them awhile back because you can use the full-range of motion, isolating specific muscle functions in your lower extremity. In the long run, keeping mobility better, balance better, and overall function better rather than a flat shoe. Downside for me is SMELL. In a hot summer day after running or daily function in these shoe, your feet smells like crazy (this is after 3-4 months of regular use). NO, i don't have any foot fungus or athletes foot. I got annoyed of having to wash my feet every time I use this shoe, so stopped using it for now.

there was a thread about them a few weeks back, mixed reviews, afaik no one actually has them tho.

They can't keep up with the demand of making them and keeping them in stock in some of the bigger chain stores, they only sell to specialty stores. I live down the road from Vibram...work at a place that carries pet supplies, sporting goods, and shoes and they will not sell those shoes to us. Haven't tried them out either.
