Customer Reviews Zumba Zumba® Impact Max

This is my first time buying shoes for Zumba and other dance classes (instead of wearing running shoes). I was not sure what to expect but I just wore these for the first time and it was really easy to move around, especially side to side. I wear a size 8 shoe (in regular shoes) and ordered a size 8, which was perfect. These shoes appear to run somewhat on the wide side, which meant I had to pull the laces pretty tight (I also have narrow feet). I read reviews that said you should order a size down but I am glad that I got my usual shoe size because there is a tad bit of extra room but that allows for socks, and any larger would mean that my feet would be sliding around. The only thing that I do not like is I feel that the shoes could have more arch support than they do, although it is not bad. I tried a pair of shoes by Ryka and they appear to have better arch support (but the sizes did not work as well for me). I ordered the blue/purple color and love the fun colors. Zappos is awesome - I ordered this one evening and received them the following afternoon!

I do Zumba three times a week I love these shoes I resisted buying this brand due to price but wish I would have gotten them earlier after trying a ton of brands for this exercise.

I bought these shoes in black for Zumba classes. They fit true to size, look good, and they are comfortable. Of equal importance for Zumba, they allow me to do all the pivots without sticking to the floor.

I do five zumba classes a week and these shoes are great. They are lightweight and they simply glide on the floor making my zumba moves so easy. The colors are gorgeous. I highly recommend them.

Very comfortable sneaker. Could have a bit more arch support though. They glide easily across tile or wood when doing Zumba dance. This is why I bought them. I had to cut the shoelaces because they were extremely long.

Great looking shoe. I ended up needing a size 8.5. They run smaller than my older pair of Zumba shoes that were a size 8. They are a little wider in the toe. They glide well on the dance floor; no need to worry about twisting a knee. The pivot point on the bottom of the shoe is why most Die hard Zumbaholics buy them instead of wearing tennis shoes, so you can pivot and turn without worrying about twisting your knee. My only drawback is thin padding in bottom of the shoe. These glide much more than my old ones; I don't want to say slippery but you can really turn and glide in them for ease of movement.

Zumba in sneakers led to some knee discomfort. When I switched to these shoes, pivots were easy and the I had nary a twinge. Highly recommended.

This shoe is so comfortable! Wore them to Zumba class without breaking them in and they were so comfy! I normally wear a 7 in regular sneakers and 6/12 to 7 in other shoes. The 6 1/2 worked perfectly for me in this shoe. I want to wear these all the time and not just for class!

Snagged the purple ones while they were still on sale! So cute and got them in a size that was sold out on the Zumba website. Still need to try teaching in them, but a half size smaller than normal fits great! Wish the inside was cushier, but can't win 'em all.

These wound up being the best pair of Zumba shoes that I have ever bought. It is the first time that I purchased the actual Zumba brand and I could not be happier. They were comfortable right out of the box. They are true to size and width. If I was to ask for anything more it would probably be a more cushioned inner sole.

Perfect shoes for zumba! Arrived promptly and were well packed. I usually take a 6 and a half, but ordered a 6, as I had been told they ran a bit large. That was correct, the 6 fits perfectly.

I love these shoes. This is third pair of studio shoes I've ordered for wearing in Zumba class & this pair I'm keeping. The Zslide makes a huge difference & shoes fit my 8.5M perfectly!

Love my new Zumba shoes! Very comfortable and colorful. They really make a difference in my Zumba classes because I can move and spin without sticking to the floor like I did with my running shoes that I used to wear. Wish I had ordered them sooner!

Punctual delivery, came with a surprisingly extra shoe lace (blue) to match the logotype, carefully packaged, the box inside the delivery box is awesomely bright, plus I'm cutting out the inside of the lid for what it says, relevant to the cover, and make it a part of my Zumba B-day Party!

The other shoe I ordered hit the mark. It was perfect, this didn't slide smoothly, but the fit was true to size and very comfortable.

This shoe has a great bottom that is slippery enough to keep me from twisting a knee, but not too slippery that I will fall. I have bad ankles and knees so I wish it had a little more support, but overall it's pretty comfortable for Zumba.

I decided to try these shoes because I was looking for Something lighter, and these certainly are. Based on the reviews I read, I decided to get them in my usual shoe size, instead of going up half to a full size. They run pretty true to size and I am glad I didn't get the larger ones. The toe box is wider than my split-sole dance shoes, and that allows me to grip better since I now have more room. There is a slight bump that falls right behind the base of my toes, not quite on the ball of the foot, and it will take a little getting used to. There could be more cushioning in the toes, and there is not a lot of support. I may try an orthotic. But weight and room for my toes were my main concerns, and these shoes deliver. I have not used tthem on the tile floor of my other gym, but they pivot well on the wood floor here. Overall, I am satisfied.

I purchased this shoe for zumba class as I wanted something with a pivot to take the stress off my knees. I have narrow-normal feet with high arches. I did not have enough foot volume to fill this shoe. I placed in a set of inserts to see if this would work, but it made the arch fall in an odd spot. The style was good and they felt light on the feet. So for someone with a different foot profile, this would be a good shoe. Of note, it has a roomy toe box which mean if you have bunions this would be a good shoe.

I feel mixed about these zumba shoes. They do give me what I was looking for in terms of ease of turning and good glide because the sole has areas that are slippery, but I could see how they might be too slippery for some floors. I am disappointed, however by the lack of arch support and overall fit which seems very boxy. I bought special inserts to provide more cushion and support, but they still lack something. Part of the problem is that I can't really get the laces to tighten up the shoe around my foot in a satisfactory way for some reason. I haven't found anything better for my needs, so these are better for me than others I've tried, but I'm not thrilled.

These good looking Zumba shoes fit true to size. I am proud to wear them. I have been a Zumba dancer for 7 years and must admit that the pivot spot does not allow freedom of turns as well as expected. But I sure look good in these!

I've been searching for the right sneakers for Zumba, and these are pretty good. They are attractive enough, although a bit dorky. The Z-slide feature dose really make a difference. My feet no longer stick to the wooden floor of the studio. But, they are on the wide side (I have narrow feet), and not much cushioning under the ball of the foot, so they are less good for moves that require a lot of plyo/jumping.

These shoes are very cute and excellent for Zumba. The bottoms are made for sliding movements and feel much better than regular athletic shoes. I do find I have to wipe them down every few classes to keep them sliding properly. The biggest flaw is that there is no arch support in these shoes. I purchased a separate arch support to add to the shoes which helps but is not as good as a shoe with an internal arch structure.
