Barefoot training

I read and heard a lot of stuff about barefoot training.  Is it really that beneficial?  Sometimes here in my apartment room, I like doing stationary plyo stuff like single leg tuck jumps and stuff.

Would doing these exercises barefoot be beneficial?

How about practicing jump approach and technique barefoot?

Thanks.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

By all accounts going barefoot seems to increase foot strength/power as opposed to wearing shoes, particularly in running. Gonna give it a go on grass sometime soon. Vibram five fingers are said to do the same over wearing shoes as well as running huaraches sandals.

Doing my barbell work actually feels more comfortable in barefeet.

I train and play basketball barefoot all the time. I think it definitely gives me a boost performance-wise.
