Thanks for the comment, Alice! I just asked my girlfriend your question and, direct quote here: "I LOVE standing in them for hours, if I have to be standing for hours...." So there you have it!

As for the running, I still hit the occasional pebble but, in the Vibrams, I don't have to actively avoid things. If you've got a shop nearby that carries them, I recommend trying them on and wearing them around the store a bit. Something about how they feel just makes sense (if that makes sense).
