I think that for walking, you won't find many people who experience negative effects. But if you're a runner, and you go straight from big cushy shoes to barefoot, you might be in for a world of hurt for a while. Easing into it tends to be good advice. I've been a bit disappointed with the newer VivoBarefoot models, the toe boxes seem to be getting progressively narrower (going for a more mainstream look, I guess?), which was one of the main reasons why I switched to them back when they were still called Terra Plana.
