This is the second pair I've purchased for Zumba. The first wore out after 2+ years of Zumba, at least a year longer than the Capezios I purchased previously. Buy large! I had to go with a 10 and I normally wear a 9 in sneakers and an 8.5 in other shoes. I have never worn a 10 in my life!!!

These are far more attractive than other Zumba type shoes, but they are a little too wide for my B width foot, especially as I have a narrow heel. They feel a bit like sketchers, which I can't wear, so I am disappointed. I’ll need a heavier looking shoe.

These are a little bulky comparing to my previous dance sneakers but comfortable.

LOVE these shoes for Zumba, prefer to the Capezios I've been wearing for the last several years. Take heed of all the warnings about sizing though. They are a full size to size and a half smaller than marked. I'm a 9 - 9.5, bought a 10.5 and, while they're workable with thin socks, probably could have gone up another half size. They're not the most attractive, a bit clunky but in terms of comfort, arch support and pivot ability while doing a class, they cannot be beat. Would absolutely recommend and would purchase them again.

I attend dance class 5 days a week and love these shoes. However - I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 and must order 8 1/2 in these. All Bloch shoes run at least a full size small.

I cannot believe how much these shoes have helped both my Jane Fonda aerobics and my Zumba. You have so much flexibility with the dancer's sole, and I find that I can do more reps without as much fatigue. They are light too. And who doesn't like to wear pink sneakers while out and about. ORDER LARGE - I am usually a 10 and had to go up to 12. The size 11 wouldn't even go onto my foot. With the proper support for all my foot, including ankle, I am a happier exerciser.

Once you get the right size, this is the best shoe for any aerobic dance workout. I can feel the extra lift when I do Jane Fonda and Zumba. They are good looking, very flexible with the bend between heel and toe (I am not a professional dancer, so maybe there is a better way to say that). I am a true size 10 and I ordered and I ordered an 11 based on the reviews. I couldn't even put them on!!! Thanks Zappos for sending out a size 12 right away. The ability to make your spring off the toe or heel makes it so much easier on your knees and ankles. There is also thick padding around the ankles so you won't wobble and wake up sore the next morning. Highly recommend, but smaller sizes order up 1 size; larger sizes order up 2 sizes.

Great shoes! I love the split sole and the pivot spot on the ball of the foot. For the size, they're very lightweight and make movement easy. These definitely run small. I'm glad I read the prior reviews. I'm usually an 8.5 - 9 and the 10.5 fits perfect.

These are great shoes for Zumba or other dance exercise classes. However, I had to go up three sizes to get a comfortable fit. I am normally a size 9 and I had to exchange them several times until I finally settled on a size 12!!! The size 12 is amazingly comfortable. The shoes slide wonderfully on the gym floor for exercise dance classes. They are a tremendous improvement over regular sneakers for any exercise class where you move to music. I recommend the shoes most highly, but go up two or three sizes to get a proper fit.

Great shoes! After reading reviews, I bought a size 9.5 and a 10 instead of my regular 8.5. To my surprise, the 10 fit best, so you might want to order up 1.5 sizes. I need this type of shoe because I use resistance tubes and the design helps the tubes stay put. Also works well with dance-style workouts.

I agree with everyone else these shoes are just great! I work in a very large manufacturing facility and I am walking around all day long on concrete and so far these have been the best for sore achey feet at the end of a long day. I won't lie and say my feet don't hurt at all because I am just on them too long but these shoes certainly make an impact in catching the blows to my feet for me.

Wow these run really small. I normally wear an 8XW and I was concerned because all the reviews talked about sizing up a size and a half for regular wide. Based on their advice to do the same for men, I went up two sizes to a 10M and I'm glad I did! They are just wide enough, snug and tight feeling at first but I could dance in them for an hour and a half without hurting. And for the length, I worried that they would be like clown shoes but there's MAYBE a quarter inch between my toe and the end of the shoe. So while these run incredibly small,they do work good if you have wide or duck shaped feet like me.

These are absolutely wonderful. I dance, and I struggle with plantar fasciitis. These are VERY cushiony and dancing is a pleasure in them. As other reviewers have said, it is necessary to order a full size larger than normal size. I played around with this, ordering several sizes, and I ended up with size 10 for a size 9 foot.

I bought a full size down and they fit perfect. At first I bought 1 and a half size down but they were too loose. I have used them to do aerobic DVD's in my home and on carpet. They are very comfortable and allow lateral movements without hurting your knees. The laces are long so I double knot them. I have to really tie them tight to keep my foot stable. I have worn them to work and for 6 hrs. of walking lifting and stocking in a liquor store they were comfortable.

Super cute shoe - just didn't work right for me. I need a very high arch support. I think these would be great for a dance workout though.

These and the Bloch Evolution are far and away the best shoes I have tried for Zumba. When the studio is humid, other shoes stick to the floor, but these allow turning even then. I wear a size 8 street shoe (size 8.5 in Ryka athletic shoe) and had to get a size 10 in these.

Great shoes for dancing as it lets you slide and turn easily. Although they are not stylish at all, they are great for Zumba classes. I truly recommend to buy a size bigger as they run small.

I have found this shoe to be excellent for both Tai Chi and Zumba. It is difficult to find shoes that fit me and provide good support, since I have a narrow foot and a high arch. I wear 8N and ordered a size up (9), because of all the reviews. That was the right decision. They fit beautifully, and I am finding that they provide the flexibility I need for all the Zumba moves. And they are comfortable! I highly recommend that you try these shoes to see if they will work for you, too.

I teach zumba classes and these are by far the best shoe I've ever worn for my classes. Others wear out more quickly and my feet start to hurt after only a few weeks. These hold up great and allow for the side to side movements and pivots so common in zumba. I ordered a whole size larger than my usual sneakers. They run very small

I have bought these twice. LOVE them for Zumba. I can move easily side to side with nice glide. I have a super high arch and these are the best dance shoes ever. I get tons of compliments. Order up 1/2 size.
