Do barefoot style running shoes prevent foot injuries?

Answer:
There are two sides to the question of barefoot style running shoes preventing foot injuries. A good thing is that it is a shoe, which protects the sole of the foot. A bad thing is that it doesn't have as much padding as a regular shoe.
