The Xero type of sandals mentioned above are best for walking in my opinion, I gave them a try for running and the toe strap didn't work (although they have a model without toe strap that worked well).

Once you get the straps on your huaraches set up properly the toe string is not a problem. I do 4-5 runs a week with this kind of "shoes". However, they are extremely bad for wet and muddy terrain runs (wet mud + uneven ground = foot slides around on top of the sole --> chafing between straps and feet). They work well in heavy rain combined with even surfaces though (provided that you don't have a leather footbed).
