i love low drop shoes for normal day to day wear - i hate feeling padding under my feet (original chucks) but i wore vibrams for 6 months and got to about 6 miles on em before i gave up out of pain on my tarsals and metatarsals. if you're running on cement (which most of us are) you just can't do it in vibrams. i still toe strike but in regular trainers.

I run regularly on cement with my vibrams. You have to build up to it, and you can get minute stress fractures in your foot while getting to that level. Traditional shoes protect your feet from so much of the stress that most people aren't physically prepared to just switch to a minimalist shoe.
