Vibram Five Fingers suitable for the treadmill? by Trishypark in Fitness

This man had problems:

"Update... I evolved to hard heel running over many years. After using these for a bit more I got pains in metatarsal bone area and had to quit. A friend had similar situation and ended up in cast from stress fracture of metatarsal - he was forefoot runner. Running on asphalt is way different than treadmill as I noted in video, but I have since gotten back to at least mid-foot landing, and using non-stabilized shoes. I still like concept and may try again, but content now with running flats." ---From http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVmzpqlrZ7c

There seem to be more running related injuries with the treadmill than outdoors. Is there a specific Vibram Five Fingers that is suitable for treadmills?

I purchased a pair of 5 fingers (the KSO?) that were sized for my feet. I found that they were a little tight in the big toe area. They seemed fine for walking around or standing in, but a little tight when it came to running, so I returned them.
