I bought a pair of barefoot shoes as I've always been intrigued by them. First impressions: a bit hard to put on as my toes keep going in the wrong section, incredibly ugly, look and feel a bit like a wetsuit. A friend advised just going for a very short run in them so I ran for 2.5km and found them comfy underfoot but there was a seam directly under my big toe that was a bit ouchy. I switched to normal shoes afterwards for the rest of my run and when I finished I found that my big toe had grown/popped several blisters, but I'm still excited to wear my fugly toe shoes again!
