I had dinner with my ex-colleague Constantin Gonzalez (visiting from Munich) and he’s heavily into barefoot/ish running, working serially through trainers, Terra Plana shoes, Vibram Five-Fingers, and then doing 10km runs through the forests of Munich, barefoot.

A friend of his manufactures chainmail gloves for the butchery/fishmonger trade and as an experiment made some chainmail socks which Constantin beta-tested for running:

…with voiceover in German, obviously, but that’s not a problem; further videos and testing are at Constantin’s page: GoSt Barefoot Tests on Vimeo.

UPDATE: Product web page; have already suggested to Constantin that some folk I know might have special requests…
