I usually wear a size 8.5, had to order a size 10 in these. They fit great, I did take the insole out & replace it with a better one with arch support & it feels much better. My purpose for these was Zumba classes, they're working out just fine.

Bought these for Zumba. I typically where an 8.5 in an athletic shoe. Ordered an 9.5 and a 10. Kept the 10. This shoe definitely runs very small! The jury is still out concerning the comfort level.

I love the pivot point on these shoes. I use them for Zumba and you definitely can move so much better in them than in normal tennis shoes. I've only worn them three times so far and I've never owned split sole shoes before, so I'm going to have to get used to them. Right now my feet kinda hurt at the end of class, but not nearly as much as they did in my old shoes. I hope after I get used to them they won't hurt anymore. Also, I normally wear an 8.5 and I ordered a 9.5 in these and it fit perfectly.

These are not flattering shoes to wear, however, that is not why I bought them. I wear them for Zumba and they make all the difference in the world. I have very wide feet (8.5 DD) and ordered these after reading other reviews. I bought a 9, which are a bit tight, but not bad. I expect to split them out before I wear any other parts down, but they are great for dancing.

I like the concept of this shoe but felt that it needed more cushioning in the ball of the foot. I also don't think this shoe is very versatile, its great for Zumba but would not work for walking.

I was looking for a Zumba shoe. This was really good for low frictions turns but I ultimately decided on a Ryka Transition for the extra cushioning. I could lace it up tight enough for my narrow foot.

I notice that my knees don't hurt in Zumba classes with these shoes. Followed others' suggestions and bought a full size larger...glad I did!

Wow, these feel great; however, everyone is right about the sizing. I wear an 8, I ordered a 9, and going to return them for a 9.5 (my feet are a little on the wide side). It's crazy, the difference in sizing, but the reviews are correct.

Felt too tight for my wide feet. Thought they would open up after a class or two of Zumba, but nope. The height was a little too much for me, as well. I rolled my ankle once.

I love these shoes for Zumba. You have to get used to the feel and fit. I also had to go up an entire size (from 6.7 to 7.5). I only wish they had a little more plush feel to the inside of the soles.

This shoes are great for cardio dance or zumba classes. They run small, I'm a size 11 and I ordered this size, so returned them and got the next size and fit perfect. As always the service was great and fast!

I love it. Months ago got the same brand but the "canvas" ones, only half number bigger than my size, and they still were so tight. Now I got this version one full size bigger than my size and they are perfect. They really run short.

These shoes are brilliant for Zumba classes. A couple of things worth mentioning is the sizing is very small. You need to order 2 sizes bigger than your normal size. The color looks pink in the photo but in actuality it is a peach color. However, once I got the correct size for me the shoes are worth every penny! As the sole is in 2 pieces they are designed as dance shoes and therefore that's what you wear them for and not for gym purposes. I'd give them 10 out 10!

Being in Australia I purchased these from a store. My street shoes are size 13 1\/2, my prac shoes are Men\'s size 10 1\/2 but I had to go up to size 16 for these blochs to fit. I squeezed into a 15, but having a very wide foot had to go up to 16. Just a warning for the Male buyers out there.\r\n\r\nThese shoes are brilliant for quick floors and aerials\/dips, for slow floors I still swap back to suede soles.\r\n\r\nNice moderate heel, works well for Latin and does not spoil the ballroom. Very comfortable, spin spot is perfect.

Great shoes for Zumba class. They are slippery otherwise! I had to go up two sizes from regular shoes and one size up from athletic shoes.

I normally wear a size 11 and ordered these in a 12.5 and they fit well. I originally ordered Capezios in a size 11.5 and they were way too small.

Comfortable, flexible shoe. Could use more arch support though there is room to insert insoles. Shoe runs one size small.

This is a comfortable shoe and true to size for my hard to fit feet. I wear women's 10 1/2 to 11. The toe is a little narrow for my problem flat feet with corns and a bunion, but I think I can live with that and work around it with the correct socks and toe separators. My biggest concern with these shoes, which I bought for contra dancing, is that despite the spin spot, they just don't have enough "slide" for me on a wood dance floor; they grip more than I would like. Otherwise, they seem like a great shoe, maybe just not the best choice for my particular needs.

Bought these a size and a half bigger, going according to the previous reviews. They are at least a half size too big. They\'re pointier in the toes than I like. I\'m going to send them back; haven\'t worn them at all. I like the color, though.

The shoes were purchased for Zumba class which is a Latin cardio dance. It is in a room with a rug and the shoes help me twist and glide without getting caught up on tread. Without the arch support, I had to add "superfeet" insert with a cushion on the toe. Great shoes. Best service from Zappos ever! I can't believe a shipment can get to Helena, Montana from anywhere overnight. Thanks!

Shoe runs small. In a street shoe, I wear a 9. In most tennis shoes, a 10. In this shoe, a 10 is too small. I have reordered a 10 1/2.

I ordered these shoes because I was having a hard time doing all the turns and pivots in Tracy Anderson's cardio dance DVD. The shoes were really soft and comfy and made turning a breeze. My only complaint is that I think it is made for someone with higher arches than I have, I think it actually says it is designed for a dancer's higher arches. It felt like the arch support was hitting me in the wrong place. I am trying one of the Nike dance shoes to see if it is a better fit for me.

I ordered the sneakers one and one half larger than my street shoes, could have just gone one whole size larger and they would have been perfect. They are very comfortable with heavy socks and I am glad I purchased them.

I use these for one section of my ballet workout, for jumps only, for foot support. They are perfect for the job. I gave them 4 stars because of the sizing difficulty. My street shoe size is 6.5, and I needed an 8 in this shoe. I have a broad foot across the metatarsals with a narrow heel. The size 8 is a perfect fit. I would buy this shoe again...

I took the advice on sizing. I always wear size 5 and ordered a 6 because Zappos was out of the 6.5's. They fit just fine and are comfortable. I only wish the shoe had a little more arch support but they are great shoes for Zumba. Zumba rocks!
