Except You Don't Get Pregnant or STDs

This isn't exactly why I advocate running barefoot, but whatever:

"Without shoes, it's a little like unprotected sex," said San Francisco writer Hank Pellissier, who regularly runs barefoot along the Marina waterfront. "It's a very lively feeling, a heightened awareness, much more sensory."

Does this make Vibram FiveFingers the ultra-thin condoms of running shoes?
