Not sure what the expert opinion would say but that is what I did. Started out thinking about fore/mid-foot strike in my heavily padded asics, then bought a pair of VFFs for walking about and occasional very short gentle runs. Eventually I moved onto newtons, but by then my calves were already getting used to the idea by then so I never really got any calf pain. Now I'm on 2 pairs of inov-8s depending on the terrain.
I like to (try to) run far so I'm not 100% sold no zero padding for ultras, but I always use either the 1 or 2 arrow heels from inov-8.
