I have a pair of Vibram Five Fingers and while my toes are rather normal it can be difficult when running off-trail. Grass keeps getting stuck between the toes and if you get tired and slow and then happen to glance a rock with the pinkie it can easily get too much grip and you can get a really nasty hit as the toe is wrung out-wise.
To get away from toe injuries I've looked at Terra Plana's Evo shoes (http://www.terraplana.com/evo-p-1263.html?colour=271 http://www.terraplana.com/evo-p-1263.html?colour=271).
They look like something that might be the thing. But I have not so far actually tested them.
If you're going to run more trail-running or the like then perhaps a pair of huaraches might be something for you (http://barefootted.com/shop/ http://barefootted.com/shop/).
For me they have been a mixed blessing. I tend to sweat a lot from the feet and thus the airiness of the sandals are really good for me. But it's been hard to learn how to properly string them on longer runs and small mistakes makes it easy for my feet to get blisters.
