The lawsuit related to claims of health benefits that weren't sufficiently documented. IOW they weren't able to prove that the shoes prevent injuries in a sufficiently large percentage of people, not that they cause injuries.
I'm pretty sure Colby ran all seven of her Ironman run legs, plus who knows how many standalone marathons and halfs, in VFFs.
That said, with your history of foot surgery, they might not be the best option for you. Plus, my experience is that the shape means they have to fit perfectly or they don't fit at all. If you want something for the gym without a high heel, you might look at Altra, Lems, or any court shoe that fits.
