The difference in surfaces is definitely less subtle than it is in regular shoes, but because I run with more "proper" form, I actually hurt less when I run in them (the impact is more evenly distributed across my foot and through my body). That said, I do avoid concrete. I can now FEEL what I knew it was doing to me all along.

Blisters: I actually have fewer blisters in them, because my feet don't really move in the shoes. I had to get rid of callouses I have developed from wearing shoes because they were more irritating than useful. I do wear socks 99% of the time (so far), even in the rain. I think it might actually be parts of the way my socks have been worn that is causing my blisters, adding a layer of friction between my feet and the "shoe".
