This is a great shoe. My daughter had a pair for poms in high school and she told me they were comfortable and worked well for dance. I bought them for Zumba and they are awesome. With my old shoes, my knees were sore. Now all is well. I love these shoes and have recommended them to others.

Too Small -
Great shoes but I take an 8 in almost everything and ordered an 8.5. When it came it felt like a 7.5. I had to order 1.5 sizes bigger than normal to get a shoe that fit.

I now have my entire dance class wearing these shoes, they are wonderful. I usually wear a size 5.5 in shoes, but wear 6.5 in these.

This is a good shoe for zumba classes. The bottom is a little slick, but stil works. The shoe runs small. I always wear a 7 and I ordered an 8.

I love the Capezios but will warn you that sizing is tough - I had to return twice for a larger size. But Zappo makes exchanges so easier, I almost didn't mind!

Nice, but not what I wanted -
These shoes might be great for a different kind of dancing. I do Jazzercise, and my foot slid around inside this shoe just a little too much. I need more stability.
Also, I wear a size 8 but due to the feedback on this shoe I bought a 9. It fit just fine.

I normally wear a size 9, but due to the reviews and the fact that I knew I'd be exercising hard in these shoes, I ordered a 10 and a 10.5 to try. I tried the 10.5 first and found them to be a bit crowded in the toe box, so I didn't even bother trying on the 10. I'm sending them both back for several reasons, the first being the slight crowding. The nail on my big toe (I keep my nails very short, so it wasn't because they were long) was bumping on the top of the shoe, and that didn't seem like a good idea. Also, the ankle area has a huge pad that doesn't seem to accomplish anything at all but looks awful and made it harder to lace the shoes snug. I have narrow feet so I always have to snug up the laces as much as I can. I did like the fact that the laces help support the arch area because there's no sole under the arch, which didn't seem to be noticeable at all. The arch felt supportive enough. The bottom of the shoe would work well for Zumba because it's slick instead of sticky, like most running/walking shoes. The main caveat I'd stress on these shoes is order up in size. Even 1.5 or 2 sizes. Depends on how your foot is in shoes. Mine always slips down and hits the end of the shoe because I'm flat-footed so I'm very careful to get shoes long enough. I can't really say I would recommend these shoes, but I think they would work well if you had the right kind of feet.

Knew this ran small especially for a man and usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 had to get a 12 that fit right but it is comfortable and makes the Zumba moves easier. Even wore them to a ball room dance, not bad looking shoes.

I ordered Dansneakers to replace my worn to the bone 7 year olds. They arrived in 2 days. A little too small. Called support and they said send them back. I sent them back the same day and my 1/2 size bigger shoes arrived the next day. Charge to me, zero dollars. Couldn't be happier. I just had knee replacement and the extra cushioning is a godsend to me.

I have bought two of Capezio’s Fierce Dancesneakers this year. I have been a dancer for over 20 years and love Capezio shoes. However, this time I bought one for dance and one for work. I need shoes that I can wear for 9 hours straight and that won’t slip. These shoes are very comfortable and they grip the floor well. I actually wore them while climbing up the Eiffel Tower, all 1665 steps, while it was raining, and my feet didn’t hurt or slip.

I got these for my dance class because the sneakers I usually wear are too grippy and do not have enough support. These shoes are very lightweight and easy to move in. The split toe takes some getting used to. I felt like I was wearing lifts, the soles are so thick. If you don't need the added support or bulk, there are non sneaker type dance shoes that may be preferable. Also the rubber on the soles are very slick making it easy to spin and twist on wooden and concrete dance floors, but you should take care on carpet until you are used to them.

I purchased the Capezio Fierce Dancesneaker for Zumba. They are the best. I would recommend any one who is taking Zumba to purchase these shoes. They make the moves much easier to perform and relieves stress to the knees. Well worth the money. Thanks.

This is my second pair of these shoes. They are good for jazz, zumba, and ballroom practice. They are comfortable. I usually wear a size 7 1/2, but got these in 8 1/2. I remove the insole and put in my own orthotic.

This was my first experience using Zappos. The customer contact person was helpful and really pleasant. The product came when promised, received in good condition, and it is a comfortable good quality shoe. It has really elevated my enjoyment in dancing. I have already recommended Zappos to my friends and plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!

I bought these shoes for my Zumba class. They are great for pivots and don't stick to the floor. Very knee friendly. I love them!

I had trouble getting the right size and fit in a dance sneaker. Zappos was very convenient and customer service oriented, by providing free shipping and free returns. I finally got a pair I really like. I needed a 1/2 size larger than my normal athletic shoe. This shoe works great in a Zumba class I am taking. Very comfortable and flexible, also smart looking.

Capezio's Fierce Dancesneaker -
These shoes are great. They are light weight and provide great arch flexibility. I needed a full size larger than my regular size for a perfect fit.

Like this shoe -
I tried these out in Zumba class and liked them. I'm new to Zumba, but these were comfortable the first time. Based on reviews, I ordered them a size larger than street size, but still had to go larger, so I went to two sizes larger (13!!). I'm glad Zappos carries shoes that big and as always their customer service is beyond compare.

Beginner Dance Class Shoes -
My husband and I signed up for a ballroom/salsa dance classes. I immediately looked up shoes for class on Zappos. I ordered them and received them in three days. My friend hesitated on getting shoes and her feet were killing her after the first hour of our first class (as well as others in the class). My feet have been fine and I love my shoes. My instructor suggested no one buy shoes until they are sure they want to do more dancing, but I think learning in comfortable shoes would make you want to continue dancing. Thanks for the good service, and I did buy them a size bigger than usual as suggested by other reviewers.

Great parade shoes -
We ordered 1.5 sizes bigger and they fit perfectly. My daughter wore them for the first time in a parade and had no complaints. Comfortable from the first moment!

Great pick for cardio dance and kick boxing!
I bought one higher size up and the fit is perfect. I like how they glide on the floor and don't stick like cross trainers or running shoes do when I dance or make lateral moves when kick boxing. The laces adjust so it fits my narrow foot well. I'm sure they'd adjust for a wider foot also.

Great Zumba Shoe!
I love this shoe for Zumba but it lacks the support and stability for high impact and cross training. Very comfortable.

Unbelievable Service!
I ordered these a full size larger and they were still a bit tight, so I ordered another pair 1/2 size up from that (total 1.5 sizes larger than my street size). I ordered the second pair that evening and received them THE VERY NEXT DAY! How did they DO that?!! Zappos, your knockout service AMAZES me!
