Mel Gibson (apparently he's gone back to that Lethal Weapon look) explains all about barefoot running in this video.

I have also gone to a minimalist shoe – I didn’t think it would work, but the difference is amazing on the court. That said, it is much more expensive. I’ve been going through Inov-8’s in about two months. I had better luck with durability with some of the New Balance with Vibram outsoles…but the shoes transmitted too much force from certain heel impacts, so I went back to Inov-8. 6’0”, 190lbs.

Which Inov-8's are you using?

I'm very happy with the Merrell's. Similar durability: about 2 months on hard courts.

Just found the Barefoot Road Gloves at Cabelas for $69.95. Picked up a pair in each color! Get 'em while you can!
