I've been thinking about getting a pair.  Not necesarily for running and DEFINITELY NOT for going to the gym in.  I don't see how they would be any benefit to the gym.  I would get them for water sports and hiking or scrambling around out in nature.  There is some science behind them and if you think about it native americans used to run around, hike, climb, walk, sprint in moccassins so how are these any different?  I wonder if they are quieter out in nature as well?  I wouldn't wear them to the gym though. 

I actually wear MBTs for work.  I used to have plantar fasciitis and tried everything.  The only thing that ever worked were the MBTs.  And THEY ARE NOT the same thing as those fucking Sketcher shape ups.  MBTs are $200 for a reason.  Shape Ups are fucking $50.  And don't worry I'll be the first to admit that MBTs look fucking gay but they work.  Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn being on your feet all day.
