"Barefoot" runners out there?

Does anyone have any first hand experiences of running using "barefoot shoes" like Vibram Five Fingers or Feelmax?   I'm curious to try them out but where I live cannot buy these products.

I have run in my five fingers shoes. It takes some getting used to. Your calves will be sore so you have to limit your runs to give them time to recover.
