I do, however it takes a lot more commitment to run in them I find, due to the loading they put on my calves.
If I just want to run a nice 10K after work I invariably take the "normal" running shoes, as I know I can compete the distance in 48-55 minutes.
With the barefoot shoes I find that I am limited to around 5K because after that my calves are worn out, this will also limit my running over the next few days, as I'll need to give it a rest, whereas with the normal shoes I am good to go again the next day.
Running in the Vibrams is something I want to do more of, but being time-poor at the moment I tend to wear them simply because they are comfortable shoes, rather than to go running in.
