I should have been more leery of a product that reviewers were suggesting to buy two sizes larger than "normal," but so many people liked this shoe, and I want a shoe for Zumba class, so I decided to try it. I usually wear a 7-1/2 but occasionally an 8; so I ordered the 8-1/2 (never in my life have I even tried on an 8-1/2). They do have a lot of arch support, but it is in the wrong place for my foot. I kept wanting to push my heel back to the rear of the shoe (nowhere to go!) to get the arch support to meet my foot, but that just wasn't going to happen. A larger size would not have solved the problem, but a smaller size would have been too short. Needless to say, these are weirdly sized shoes, and I have to second guess the professionalism of a shoe manufacturer who is that far off the mark. (I'm just sayin'.) These pups are on their way back to Zappos and I have a pair of Capezios on route that I'll give a try. I'm hoping they work because I really need a new pair of gym shoes for Zumba! Thanks Zappos for making the return so easy! As always, "I'll be baaack!"

Didn't work for me at all -
I bought these shoes based on the wonderful reviews here. I do not do dance but I do trampoline aerobics three times a week and thought these might be nice. I bought 2 sizes up and the size was correct but once my foot was in the shoe it looked really ugly. It doesn't have much support on the sides due to the split sole so it just makes your foot look extremely wide and lets your foot fall to each side. I need much more support than this.
If you have foot or ankle problems these shoes aren't going to give you the support you need. Might work for dancing. Also, I haven't ever been told I have a wide foot but these shoes pinched me down the sides. Had to return them. Thanks Zappos for making this so easy!

I love the way the shoes move with you and turn with such ease. You need to order a size or two larger than what you normally wear to get a fit.

It is 2 sizes smaller (I wear size 6 regular US, ordered this in 7 and it did not fit), not durable and poor quality. They also have slippery bottoms.

These shoes run extremely small! I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 shoe and I ordered these in an 8 because I like to wear socks with sneakers. Even ordering them larger, I could not even get my foot into the shoe! Not even halfway in. So back they are going!

The split sole is not for me. I wore these a few times for my Zumba class and thought the bridge of my foot would crack in half. I hate these shoes. And I was surprised by that given all the great reviews, which is why I purchased them. They do run a full size larger than normal. The 9 fit me and I usually wear an 8 or 8.5.

These run very very small. I normally wear a 7 1/2. I ordered that size, returned it for an 8 and now am returning that size, too. I think I will try another brand.

I have been doing "Cardio Funk" jazz dancing and zumba in these for years. This is my second pair. They turn well and are very flexible. I was so silly to want to try something else. Nothing else compares!

I purchased a 9.5 Jazz shoe. I wear an 8.5 street shoe. Fit was snug, which I find best for me for dancing.

I usually wear a size 8.5. I ordered a size 9.5 but they were too small. I went with a size 10 and they are working out great. I wear them for aerobics and weight lifting.

I based my purchase on other reviews. My shoe size currently has been 7.5. I ordered the 8 and they fit perfect. I love pink and needed to upgrade in size to accommodate changes in my foot since foot surgery. I am hoping to try Zumba again or just dance at home. These so far seem to have good arch support and firm sole with the nice sole that makes it easy to turn when dancing.

I love these sneakers, so much that I had to buy another pair because I lost the first pair I had. I have bought these sneakers before, so I knew to buy them 2 and half sizes bigger then I use in shoes. I usually use a 7 1/2 but in these I had to buy a 10 because my feet are so wide. I previously had bought a 9 1/2 though I did not like that my toe almost touched the front of the shoe, so this time I opted for a 1/2 size bigger. I used them for a kick boxing class and they felt just fine. They weren't to tight and my knees did not hurt from rotating when I kicked.

I was recommended to purchase a size 10 in this Bloch shoe because I am a size 10 in Asics. Not true! I ended up keeping the size 11, after two tries of a size 10 and a 10.5. Definitely, must go up a full size in this shoe.

These are perfect shoes for dance classes, there is enough grip so you don't slip but not so much u cant glide across the floor. BUT they do run small. normally wear a size 10 shoe, but I ordered a size 11 given other reviewers said shoe ran 1 size small. it was still too small, so returned for next size up i.e. 12 and those fit just right.

Returned pair #1 that was defective for pair #2 and it's perfect! These shoes run a full size small, I wear an 8.5 to a 9.0 (tennis shoes) in ALL shoes except these. So, a size 10 fits me exactly like all other size 9 athletic/tennis shoes. These shoes work great for Zumba! I have NO hip/joint problems since they are super flexible and allow me to pivot easily.

Pain relief! I have painful calluses on the bottom of my metatarsal area and these shoes are cushy enough to relieve almost all of the pain. I wear them for BeMoved Dance. They look bulky, so I was surprised at how flexible they are, allowing full range of motion. I normally wear a 6.5 in other shoes. After trying several sizes, 7 was the right size for these shoes for me.

I normally wear a size 8, and I need a generous toe box. In this shoe, I needed a size 9.5. Once I got the correct size, I was very happy with the shoe. It is super comfortable, light, and perfect for dance exercise classes.

I absolutely love them! I could dance easily and freely. Definitely one of the best sport shoes I have purchased. The size runs almost two sizes smaller. I normally wear size 8.5 and ordered 9.5 after reading customers reviews and still didn’t fit right. I ordered size 10 and it did fit perfectly. Thanks to Zappos for delivering both purchases super fast!
