Customer Reviews Nike Musique III SL

I love these shoes, but they do not have much (or any) arch support. I wear these for Zumba dance class and the soles are great for that. I'm going to buy an arch support to slip in my shoe and see if it helps.

This is not a Zumba shoe. I ordered this shoe because of majority positive reviews for Zumba use. Omg, it has too much traction, and runs narrow in toe area. My toes ache within the first 20min. Too much effort to pivot and slide. Super cute shoes though! I've been breaking them in for about four weeks now, and they did loosen a bit. These are better for cross training.

These stick to the floor less than the Ryka Transition and the hard bottom means that I can wear my orthotics. Unfortunately unlike the Ryka Transition, this shoe has a very narrow toebox and is unavailable in a wide size. My feet were numb by the end of the class. I normally wear a 9, but ordered a 10.

I have been looking for a good shoe to use for Zumba and perferred an all black shoe. These were very nice looking (suede-easily dirty) coming out of the box, however, the shoe hardly bent while I was dancing. I woke up the very next day with extreme knee pain that I\'ve never felt before from doing Zumba so I decided to take them back to the store and order the Asics Gel Enthrall from Zappos. Hopefully these will be the perfect shoe, keeping my fingers crossed.

Disappointed - After reading many positive reviews about this shoe, I went ahead and ordered them. I am disappointed I did. They do not have nearly enough support for walking never mind dance/Zumba, which is why I bought them. On a positive note, the design of the sole does allow me to twist and turn without compromising my knees. But overall, a disappointment.

Hard working but plain - I'm afraid I gave Zappos a hard time with this order but they rose to the occasion splendidly. First, trusting some of the reviews, I ordered the shoe a half size larger and, being true to size, it was too big. Second, finding the style very plain, I switched from white to black (on my third and final pair). All three orders were delivered to my door like lightning and refunds were issued as appropriate. No one - and I mean no one - beats Zappos' service. The shoe performs very well in Zumba class. It is perfectly comfortable. I will probably pack it as a walking shoe when traveling. I should be very pleased. However, style is very important to me and this shoe has zilch. Nike could have done much more to jazz it up, with mesh and colors... especially for us Zumba people.

Looks good but... The shoe is very cute however it is not very comfortable for aerobics. Within 10 minutes of class my feet were numb. I even completely unlaced the shoe, put my foot in and relaced the shoe. My foot still went numb but not as bad or as quickly. My advice is if you want to use this shoe for aerobics (jazzercise) you might want to pass this shoe by. If you are looking for a cute shoe for casual wear then go for it. I wear a size 8 and I got a size 8 with no issues with size.

More a dance shoe than a cross training shoe - This is really a dance shoe, for things like zumba or NIA (if not barefoot). I got it for kickboxing but it does not have the cushion or support for impact. I will wear it but don't love it. The pointy toe doesn't look great. It is somewhat narrow, which works for my foot. Put an insole in it and it is a better workout shoe.

After trying these in two different styles, I am sending them back. I first tried the Musique IV and then the III. I teach Zumba and had a hard time using them because they are very short at the ankle. Several times I found myself almost twisting my ankle. I like regular tennis shoes better than these. They also run big for someone who has a slender foot. I always wear 8.5 in Nike so I tried a 9 based on reviews and they were too big. Then I tried a size 8.5 and still they are too big. I plan on trying a different kind of dance shoe.

I have tiny feet, but these shoes were very tight -- and uncomfortable for Zumba.

Do not buy these shoes for Zumba! They do not have enough padding at the ball of the foot to handle the jumping and classic Latin moves. They were also very narrow in the toe and felt very heavy. I took them off after half am hour of Zumba and put on my old shoes. Thank goodness I brought them just in case.

These are very stiff shoes. I got them because of the great review but it would take forever to get the front from being so stiff. I am returning them for the Ryka as those shoes flex well in the front and extremely comfortable straight out of the box. I purchased these for kickboxing but pivoting on them is impossible. I do love the color and style of them, though.

Not for wider feet - They look great, but are very narrow. I bought a half size larger than usual (8.5 instead of usual 8) and still found them too tight. Am sending them back.

Disappointing. It's the first pair of Nike's I've tried on that felt like a non-foot-shaped hard plastic container.

I am so disappointed with these shoes. They are very cute, but they are so incredibly uncomfortable. I walked around my house a bit and thought they were really stiff. I purchased them specifically for zumba classes. I wore them for two songs and ended up taking them off and dancing barefoot. My feet were cramping, the shoes are very stiff. I wish I hadn't walked through the gym parking lot because I don't think I can return them now, so I just wasted the money. I ordered a 7, I wear a 6 in a standard shoe but 7 in a sneaker, which I find common but I marked them as larger than marked in case you think you should purchase the same size as you do in a dress shoe. I like Nike generally but love New Balance - didn't find a dance sneaker from NB though. Again, these are cute, I got the gray, but they are so uncomfortable I won't even wear them with jeans.

I was disappointed! The shoes are not lightweight as describe. Also they were very narrow. I generally wear a size 9 in sneakers and tried on a size 9 and 9.5 and it felt very tight and not enough cushion inside for the various dance moves. Nike can do better!

I purchased this shoe for Zumba based on the high overall reviews. I was sorely (literally) disappointed. This shoe had a fairly snug fit, unusual for a medium width, but it also had very little give and flex and I wasn't sure I'd make it through the first 15 minutes of class, they were that uncomfortable and stiff. The bottoms were also too sticky to allow for quick turns and spins. Since I cannot return these once they've been worn, they are going in the bag for charity.

I was so disappointed by these shoes. The fit was very strange, the best way I can explain it, is that these shoes felt very narrow all over, and also very shallow, so when I would walk my heel would come out of the back. I returned them immediately.

They run very small - not a true 12! My daughter wears an 11 and wears them instead. A little long, but perfect with socks.

I found this shoe to be very uncomfortable. The back hit too low and cut into my ankle, something that's never happened in any other athletic shoe. I guess you get what you pay for.

This is the first product by Nike I have ever not liked. These shoes are extremely uncomfortable. They have no cushion. It is like wearing bowling shoes to do Zumba. My feet hurt and my toes fall asleep in them. I went back to my running shoes while waiting to save for different Zumba shoes.

These shoes are great for Zumba! I wish I had bought them sooner. I had been doing regular Zumba classes in my trail-runner shoes since that's what I usually work out in. They have a lot of traction on the bottom and aren't so great for dance moves. I had heard a lot of knee problems are caused in Zumba by shoes with too much traction. I already have knee problems, so I wanted to prevent that from becoming an issue. These shoes are comfortable, fit well and are easy to spin, turn and slide across the floor in.

I am a nurse assistant on a maternity floor - lots of walking. These are my favorite shoes that I have bought for work. They are light and were comfortable immediately. Would buy again.

These are absolutely recommended for fast paced Zumba workouts! The shoes will be stiff and hurt your feet a bit during the first workout, but they will improve noticeably by the second time you wear them, and will be very comfortable by the third wearing. I am so glad I got these. I do Zumba several times per week and these shoes make it easier to slide and turn, plus they are stylish. I got the black ones. The shoes are true to size. I absolutely love them!

Overall, a great shoe. I've had 5 pairs of this same shoe during my 4 years in retail, spent standing 100% of the time and moving very little. My only complaint about this shoe was that the arch did not provide much support for me, so I had to wear insoles. The only reason I ever replaced these shoes were when the backs of the shoes broke down and started hurting my heels, but they did last a long time before that ever happened.
