Modern running shoes support heel strike, as they provide greater cushioning and comfort when landing in this fashion. Not surprisingly, even when running barefoot, those who were more experienced at running in modern shoes tended to land on their heels. Although the cushion of the modern shoe does decrease some of the force involved in the impact, the decrease is very little when compared to fore-foot landing.
I also imagined barefoot running shoes would be cheaper than a traditional running shoe. The Vibram FiveFingers were the barefoot running shoe brand I came across most often online, running somewhere around $85 a pair. This isn't a terrible price for a good set of running shoes, but it is a little pricey for an item you may try once and never use again.
If you are looking for a new dynamic to your running, these sound like a great change. However, be sure to start slowly. A large number of users caution that you cannot just put on barefoot running shoes and run your normal distance and pace. In a very real sense, you are going to have to re-learn how to run and allow your feet to adapt to the lack of cushion and arch support. However, if you have the patience to endure some pain and strange glances from a person like myself, you may find this running shoe is for you.
