Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"The Vibram FiveFingers Sprint Barefoot Shoe is a secure fitting, incredibly comfortable "shoe" used to give you more balance, better posture and a real connection to any sport you participate in. The Sprint is Vibram's most versatile product with hook and loop closures along the heel and instep giving you a tighter, more form fitting feel than even a climbing shoe. The Barefoot technology comes from the age old idea that walking or running barefoot puts you in touch with the natural movement of your feet, legs and entire body, creating a better posture and, for some people, a connection to the earth and energies within. These help to enhance your grip on surf boards, in yoga positions, Pose Method running and fitness training.Constructed with a thin, abrasion resistant stretch polyamide fabric that fits low on the foot for comfort and quick drying. The outsole is a flexible, non marking TC1 performance rubber sole that is razor siped to enhance grip over all sorts of terrain. SPRINT IS BEST FOR: Light Trekking, Bouldering, Pose Method Running, ChiRunning, Fitness Training, Yoga, Pilates, Sailing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Flats Fishing, Travel"

From REI:
"Experience barefoot freedom in your outdoor activities while protecting the soles of your feet with a thin Vibram skin. Individual toe slots enhance dexterity, control and stability to deliver a natural walking motion. Thin, abrasion-resistant polyamide stretch fabric fits low on feet and offers quick-drying comfort. Rip-and-stick closures at heels and insteps provide a comfortable, secure fit and keep shoes on in fast-moving water. Cita-XY AgION antibacterial footbeds absorb moisture and help control odors. Patent-pending thin Vibram soles are designed to follow the contours of your feet and toes; made of nonmarking Vibram TC1 performance rubber. Razor siping on soles provides sure grip on wet and slippery surfaces. Recommended for most water sports as well as light hiking, trekking, travel, barefoot running, fitness training, yoga, Pilates and boating. May help you feel an increased sense of balance, expanded range of motion and visibly improved posture. In order to allow your feet to adapt to using different muscles, gradually increase usage of these shoes. Machine washable in cold water; air dry only."

Men's FiveFingers Sprint
Reviewed by tacmedic, May 22, 2007

"I recently received these "shoes" as a gift. They are awesome. I was at first a little unsure about the individual toes, but they feel great and offer great comfort and support to your foot. They feel very similar to wearing moccasins, which I have spent a great deal of time in, but the sole is much more sturdy and protects from even the sharpest rocks."
