After reading a bunch of threads here, I ended up with some Adidas Samba indoor soccer shoes. Great for playing, driving, or anything else where you want a very tactile feel under your foot.
On another forum a bunch of folks have been raving about running in those Vibram things. Since I grew up in Hawaii and ran around barefoot all the time, including distance running in HS track and cross country while legitimately barefoot, I can understand where they are coming from. If you don't spend your life running around with the bottoms of your feet exposed to lava rock, then some layer of protection makes sense. But running barefoot (either really barefoot like we did, or with these things on your feet) forces you up onto the balls of your feet and keeps you from pounding your heel into the ground. With the associated plantar faceitis and knee problems.
You would get a better feel for the pedal, just as the sock and barefoot players do, while still being able to walk on hot asphalt across a parking lot or over rough stones. But as folks have mentioned, it won't give you Bonham's or Chambers' foot instantly.
