I have shoes for your derf derf! You do have to ease into it though because you will be running totally different. Like you can only run a quarter mile or so at a time and build from there. The first time I used them I ran about 3/4 mile and then couldn't walk for days but then again you are prob in better shape then I am. My BF can't wear toe shoes too because he has finger toes. I got these for him:

I tried on the womens version and they are very similar to the vibrams just without the toes and you have to option of wearing socks.

Here are the new balance equivalent. They felt very similar to the merrells when I tried them on. But IMO the Merrells look better. The toe part is weird shaped on the new balance.

I will prob get a pair of merrells for myself too.
