The one thing I've heard unreservedly good about barefoot running is that it definitely promotes good form. Barefoot running pretty much forces a midfoot strike (because anything else is literally too painful). So I'm hearing about people running a lap on a track barefoot, and then shoeing up for their regular run.
I overpronate too, so any kind of real distance without arch support is a bad idea.
