I have a really hard time finding shoes for my twice-weekly Zumba classes because of my wide feet, moderately high arches and upturned toes (read: no low-toeboxes like Nike Frees for me). Add the fact that I do my stylish dance moves on various surfaces and I become the Dancing Goldilocks who can't have her shoes too slippery nor too sticky. ;-)
Over the 8 years I've been Zumbaing, I have tried everything from Asics cross-trainers to Rykas to Blochs, and I've had mixed results. I put off replacing my shoes because it's always a big ordeal. I go to the all stores, which don't carry much stock, and I walk out frustrated that none of the sales people understand what I need.
I then typically order 1 or 2 boxes from Zappos' huge stock, return them and reorder 1 or 2 more before finally settling on 1 or 2 pairs that kinda work.
This pair has changed all that! I have been wearing these for more than a month now, and I couldn't be happier! They provide support for my feet while allowing me to do turns and side steps on both concrete and hardwood floors. I also wear them for cross training and even walking the dog. Oh, and the pink color is super cute, too. I'm thinking about buying a second pair to rotate so I can put off buying new ones for longer!

These shoes are really comfortable, breathable, light weight, and versatile. They've worked great for me for things like running and circuit training.

These are my most comfortable shoes. They are reasonably priced, amazing Nikes. They are true to size, comfortable and come in cool colors. I don't have anything negative to say about them.

I like the style and the general fit of the shoe as far as length and heel cup are concerned, but the width is too narrow for my feet (which are not particularly wide). My feet felt constricted from the moment I put them on. I walked the track in the gym for about a half a mile, and my feet were very happy when I finally stopped and took them off. Not a good sign for any long-distance use. I'm returning them.

I love Nike but these shoes just did not fit well. I do not know how else to describe it, but to say they were baggy. I know that sounds crazy but the shoes were the right length and right width but no matter how they were laced there was excess material around the mesh part of the shoe. They were comfortable but looked sloppy. I sent them back.

I love these shoes. They're super cute and very comfortable, even after a long workout. I'd definitely buy them again.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands and feet are bad...and I am young and want stylish but comfortable sneakers. I liked a certain Nike Shox but they are so pricey. I have had a few others that I have tried on and "settled" for but never loved them. Then I take a chance and buy these online. Fit perfect! I would say in between a wide and medium fit. I put them on and walked all day and no problem. Even with no socks! Highly recommended!

I really like these shoes! Overall they seem slightly gappy at the top of my toes. I've gotten several compliments on them. Good for the price!

These shoes filled every one of my requirements for shoes to wear to the gym - reasonable price, comfortable and since I am afraid of color basic black. I am happy with my purchase.

I love the style of this shoe, very light and felt great. However, I was after something that would be a little more supportive for my flat feet during my step aerobics class. You could use inserts for this shoe if you needed. If I was looking for an everyday sneaker then this would be great, but not quite what I was looking for so had to return it.

Great comfort shoe for running errands. I wouldn't recommend running or doing any strenuous physical activity in them as they don't have much in the way of arch support. I wore them to a boot camp where we did plyometrics and other similar type movements and found that my arches started hurting a bit.

New Balance, Asics

I bought these for my cardio/strength classes. They work well. They are light and comfortable. The only thing is they feel narrow. I think that is a Nike characteristic though. Overall, I like them and will continue to wear them.

I am usually unable to wear Nike shoes, but I see so many people wearing them and I like all the style options, that I didn't want to give up. I bought this shoe for Zumba. Its the first pair of Nikes that I've had that aren't too narrow. This shoe actually borders on being too wide. It feels a tiny bit too big, but is very comfortable. I just needed to adjust to a different shoe while dancing, so I don't trip over my own feet! So far, I'm happy with the shoe. It's flat on the bottom, so it's good for activities that require pivoting.

Had to break them in, but once I wore them a couple days they are comfy and lightweight. I'm a light runner, so these shoes perform well for me, might not be the best shoe for hard core runners.

I bought these shoes hoping they would be a good fit for me at aerobics, and they weren't. (There's just not enough cushioning and support). But...I did keep the shoes for things like errands and walking the dogs; and I think they'd be fine as a gym shoe or for lower impact activities.

Super comfortable shoes. At first they hurt feet, but once you break them in they are fine. Fun colors!

The style is fantastic but there wasn't much arch support or foot cushioning at all for that matter. They are very comfortable I was just not satisfied with the cushioning. I will be sending these back.

I liked these shoes, but returned them because the sides (the mesh panels) just sort of bulged out on the sides, and didn't have a very flattering appearance on my feet.

These shoes are great for walking and biking, but not great for cross training. I intended to use these for cross training and fitness classes, which they are not great for. The top of the shoe is too wide/ loose, and the soles do not provide enough grip or traction to use for jumping or other activities.

I loved the previous release of these, so I was hoping these would be similar. The mesh/fabric on the outsides is really gappy and does not look good. Unfortunately I will be returning them.

I have this sneaker style only in a different color. The problem is that this pair's fit is very different. They are wider, so much so that there is a wrinkle that forms in the fabric midway up the side of the laces area. I will select another style next time.

Like the style and overall fit was fine. The fabric on the right shoe only (left was fine) was somewhat loosed and bunched when the shoe is tied. Possible a defect?

I am disappointed in the construction of these shoes. There are ridges of extra, gappy fabric along the outside and toebox, which looks unappealing and seems it would be uncomfortable while exercising. I've always had good luck with Nikes, but I'm returning these.

These shoes offer no stability or support. I tried to wear for crossfit and they won't work (too sloppy to keep balance). My slippers have more support. I admit, I bought them because they are cheap and I liked the color, but will open my wallet next time and stick with my tried and true Asics gels next time.
