as long as you dont run while wearing them much at all. like more than a few hundred steps at a time, and if you avoid hard surfaces like the plague... you should probably be fine on dirt and clay and sand and gravel for a few miles a day. thing to remember is that these will force your under developed foot muscles to work. a muscle group that you've been ignoring your entire life. unless you've been a barefoot hippie for years and years, you should not walk more than a mile barefoot in a day and take a few rest days for about a year. sorry dude thats just it. we treat our feet like hoofs nowadays, they are just not up to it without training.
long story short. train in them by walking a mile or so ever 2 days on dirt and clay. do this for a year. then you are good to hike 3-4 for per day, unless you naturally suprapronate. in that case, after a year of training you can walk unlimited.
