Just bought my first pair of the five finger shoes and actually played racquetball in them. My feet never felt better and I don't think I'll ever be wearing another "regular" pair of shoes again. I should mention that my feet have already grown accustomed to minimalist footwear since I wear the New Balance Minimus Trail shoe for everyday use. But the feel you get with the Vibrams is quite extraordinary. I was surprised how well they performed on the court; only downside is I now have the nickname of Lizard Feet. The model I purchased (Komodosport LS) is actually designed more for cross training than some of the others, and it showed. Going to get a second pair next week. Anyone else have any good experiences with the Vibram Five Fingers?

Any update on these shoes? I have problems with getting blisters on my toes from cutting back and forth. I figure the five finger shoes would keep the toes more secure so I maybe wouldn't have that problem.

In the end, while the five fingers worked good, I ended up trying a pair of the New Balance Minimus Trail shoes and they worked much better . . . so much better that I now have three pairs. They are extremely light weight, flexible, and have great traction. (I also no longer have heel pain or plantar fasciitis on my right foot since wearing these shoes.)
