I use zero drop (not barefoot) shoes for running. They still have a thicker sole so some protection against rocks etc. I didn't really transition into them, just bought a pair and started running. As it's winter you probably wouldn't look too out of place wearing them on non-hiking walks to the shops etc if you wanted to get used to them a bit first.
