These shoes are good for Zumba! They are lightweight and flexible, yet provide enough support for the higher impact steps in Zumba. They provide great arch support and pivot point. I did have some difficulty with sizing. Ultimately, I had to buy a size 10, which is 1 1/2 sizes up from my street shoe size 8 1/2, and 1 size up from my athletic shoe size 9. Also, this was my first purchase with Zappos and it was so easy. I'll be back for more.

This is a wonderful dance shoe. Gives lots of support but is light and flexible. I have very hard to fit feet because they are wide and I have a high instep and it is perfect. Love it!

I am normally a 6.5 and after reading the reviews, I decided to try my normal shoe size first and go from there. The 6.5 was too small, so I ordered a 7.0 and a 7.5. Both the 7.0 and the 7.5 fit comfortably with light weight fitness socks, but I ended up returning the 7.5 because that size had a little extra room in the toe area. Now that I’ve found the size that works the best for me, I love the shoes and have recommended them to others.

For my Irish dancing daughter, who dances several hours a night, four nights a week, and needs great support for her feet, knees and legs, these were a home run! They fit perfectly. The design is much sleeker than older versions of dance sneakers. And they are incredibly flexible.

I am a Zumba instructor and wear these for every class! I have tried 4-5 other styles of shoes and these are the best for me by far. Excellent pivot points. I was skeptical of the arch support, but it is great, too! Perfect for those that dance regularly. They do run a size to a size and half smaller than street shoes - order several pairs up front to decide what size you need.

About Bloch
Bloch loved watching ballet and visited many dance studios. At one such studio, he noticed a young dancer who was having trouble staying on pointe. Bloch promised he would make her a better pair of shoes, and so he did. After that, Bloch’s reputation for making good dance shoes spread rapidly.
At Bloch, the respect the company has for its clients' art is infinite. Contributing to a dancer's artistry, in even the slightest way is the ultimate Bloch goal. Admittedly jealous of their clients' artistic ability, Bloch is proud to contribute confidence and beauty through the best dance footwear in the world.

I needed a more flexible shoe for twisting and foot movements in my Zumba class. Insofar as studio/dance shoes, the sole of this shoe seems more flexible than, for example, some of the studio shoes made by Nike. It is very easy to do the twisting moves in my Zumba class, and the shoe really "wraps" around my foot (almost as an extension of my own foot). My shoe size is in between a 7 and 7.5, and I ordered an 8 (per previous recommendations regarding sizing), and the size 8 fit very well with thin socks. I am not thrilled with the appearance, but, hey, I bought it for function.

I was looking for something for Zumba on a carpeted floor. This shoe is awesome! Light, comfortable, and just enough slide without being too much. I ordered a size larger initially and my toe was squished at the end. Returned for 1.5 sized larger than normal. It fits great!

I ordered two pair of these sneakers. One a half size larger and the other a whole size larger than my normal shoe size. The half size larger was the best fit for me. The shoe is very comfortable and works perfect for Zumba. I am very pleased with the shoe and with Zappos!

Great for Marley (vinyl dance) floors! I really love these for Zumba and other dance classes because there is a great material on the pivot spot - no drag, which helps the knees alot. Very comfortable and supportive, too. I followed others' reviews here on sizing, which worked out. Very flexible - Love them! A little slick for wooden floors; there I prefer the Nike Musique.

I was looking for a shoe that allows more freedom of movement than a traditional cross trainer for taking a Zumba class. I fell in love with these. I want to wear them all the time!

These dance sneakers are very comfortable and are working out well for my Zumba class. They glide across the carpet making it easier to twist without injury. I normally wear an 8 1/2, but had to go up to a size 10 to fit in length. They do run small. I have high arches and find that the arch support is very good. As always Zappos is the best in customer service.

I received my Bloch dance sneakers and love the way they feel on my feet for Zumba. No more knee and ankle pain for those the regular crosstrainers I was wearing. I suggest as others have...go 1 1/2 sizes larger.

I love these shoes! I usually wear an 8 1/2 but ordered the 10 based on other reviews. They're a little roomy, but feel great! I use them for my zumba classes. They really allow for the dance moves, and my knees don't ache like they used to with the Nike Musique's. They're a little slippery on some of the vinyl floors, but otherwise they're awesome. Would definitely recommend.

I've had two knee surgeries for a torn ACL and a meniscus repair and I was looking for a pair of shoes that would let me continue to do Zumba. I tried the Nike Musique's but they were too sticky on the dance floor and I had to take them off about 15 minutes into Zumba class. So I returned them for these instead. There shoes are great! They offer enough grip on the back and sides of the shoes that I feel very safe and secure when doing squatting moves, but they offer a very low resistance for pivoting and turning as well. I used these for the whole class and my knee was still happy after an hour of Zumba. The split sole takes some getting used to though. It is slightly uncomfortable until you get used to it.

I love these shoes! They are lightweight, very comfortable and sleeker than other dance sneaker styles. I usually wear 8.5 but ordered these in 9.5 and they were just right. I have worn Capezio dance sneakers before, but find these to be more comfortable.

Very comfortable, but runs very small. I ordered a half size larger and need to exchange them for another half size up. Hope they will fit.

These shoes are definitely not for anyone with a wide foot. I read many of the reviews and went up a 1/2 size as advised by most of the reviews. The length was fine but the width was too narrow for my feet...too bad because I think I would have liked them if they were just a little wider.

Got these for Zumba class, the midsection of my foot hurt during class, not sure if they are the best shoe for Zumba. By the way, I wear a 6 or 6 1/2 and had to order an 8! The first try never fit.

This is a great shoe for Zumba, but I do it on carpet over hardwood. The shoe is lightweight, flexible, and supportive. I think the key to Zumba is to be light on your feet which allows you to use your hips/body, minimizing stress to the knees. Other Zumba favorites felt stiff and bulky. I usually wear a 6½, but needed a 8 in these.
