I was surfing through the net about barefoot running, when I cam across this site.
It gives a comparison of a normal shoe vs Vibram Fivefingers vs Barefoot in a slow motion video shot.
Here are the videos.

This is because it seems that the thick cushion cause the “Heel” to reach the ground first. Maybe that is the reason why I am suffering from Heel Strike?….
