Leo's Reviews
Running small. Not comfortable during zumba dancing, my feet feel very tired. Smooth bottom good for some movements, but create trouble for other movements.
Dancing shoes. These shoes are perfect for twisting and turning in zumba. They offer support, yet flexibility. I ended up having to order a half size larger than I usually wear. I have narrow feet and usually find it difficult to find proper fitting shoes; however, these seem narrow and the ties enable me to adjust them perfectly.
I found nothing wrong with this shoe. It fits great - I wear a women's 9 street shoe and ordered an 8 - no problem! I teach preschool gymnastics and wear this for class. It's attractive, looks professional, and feels great.
The Leo's site lists these as gymnastics shoes, I just wanted minimalist footwear. If you want to keep your feet clean without padding, on dry surfaces, these could be for you. The toe area is reasonably roomy, but as an earlier reviewer noted, the elastic pulls the seam up and over your toes. The suede sole is a single layer. I wear a 9½, ordered the 9, and it certainly is not too big. The fit and feel is like the ghost of an Isotoner ballerina slipper.
Wear these to Zumba 3 times a week.I decided to try these,to see if I was in fact going to be able to do Zumba, bad knee.Anyway, I do Zumba just fine in these shoes.They are very comfortable, not the prettiest, but who is looking a my feet...I wear a 10 1/2 sneaker, I bought an 11 and these are perfect.Zumba On!
I ordered a 7.5 but it was too small. Sent them back and ordered an 8.5 which fits comfortably. I usually wear a 7 in most shoes or 7.5 in running shoes. I liked the quick shipping and easy send back policy. I don't order much online so this gave me a good experience. I will wear the shoes tonight so I will see what a wonderful dancer the shoes will make me. These shoes are a little flatter than others I have seen.
These are very light and comfortable and perfect for Zumba. Downside is they aren't very pretty to look at, make me feel like I've got 'Granny' shoes on.
These dance sneakers are extremely lightweight and feel like you have nothing on your feet. I usually have a problem with width so I ordered a half size larger and they fit perfectly. They take a little getting used to because they are so lightweight compared to sneakers. Perfect for Zumba, makes the turns and slides much easier. I wear black socks with mine because they will discolor your white socks or your bare feet.
I love these shoes! They are very light weight and they were super comfortable from the get go. I bought these for my Zumba class and they pivot really well. I highly recommend them! Zappos is the best!

Light weight. Very comfy. I usually wear a 6.5, ordered these in a 6, and they fit perfectly.
I wanted to love these, I really did. It's a light, indoor shoe, perfect for a little exercise or just hanging about. The style is cute, and the criss cross straps make for an adjustable fit. I so wanted to love these. However, I'm normally a 9W, and neither the 7 or 8 fit correctly. You'd think the Medium width was to blame, but the width felt fine. The issue was the pulling of the undersole over the tips of the toes by the elastic on top. Walking back and forth the sole would come forward to the point where it would rub against the toenails. It's possible a size 6 would work out better, but since the manufacture's directions say to go down just one size, I'm throwing in the towel on this sockette.
I am very happy with these shoes. I use them for Zumba class.I tried several other shoes, including the Leo's with the higher heel, but this shoe is by far the most comfortable and gives good support.
The shoe is like heaven! It's really lightweight and flexible, perfect for Zumba! Zappos delivery is awesome and the prior customer reviews were extremely helpful. I heeded the advice to buy a half-size larger and even though I have a hard-to-fit foot (12) with bunions and plantar fasciitis, there was a 12.5 available and the rest is history. The dye faded a bit onto my socks with first wearing, the shoe laces slip and come untied during Zumba, but it's a small price to pay for ultimate comfort! Bravo, Leo's NRG Lite and Zappos!
I like these shoes very much, they are really soft for your feet. At first, I just was looking for black work shoes, I got these due to the style and price. It is a dancing shoe, so I think I can wear it for my practice as well. This design of the sole is amazing, I never have a athletic shoe like this. I tried them when I received them (just one day after I ordered them on Zappos!). When your feet feel tired, it is easy and comfortable to rotate each ankle in a complete circle. That is Amazing! These are fully recommended.

Just as the previous writer said - I wear an 8.5 W women's shoe, and this 10 M was a perfect fit. I tend toward foot pain, and this shoe feels like it holds my feet together when I dance, so the fascia are protected - it's a great shoe!
