Customer Reviews Zumba Zumba® Fly Fade

This is my second pair of Zumba sneakers. The Fly Fade runs a half size smaller, and it's a lighter sneaker in which I do love. I purchased this sneaker for Zumba and Tae Bo classes. For extra support I added an insole and I am loving this sneaker even more. It is so easy to move and dance in this shoe. I truly recommend it.

I have three pair of shoes made by Zumba. This pair fits me the best. It has a good arch and heel support. As other reviewers have mentioned, I ordered a size up ( my usual practice for any athletic shoe). My feet are narrow - this shoe runs on the narrow side so if you have wider feet the Zumba Fly Fade is not for you. I would recommend either the Zumba Impact Max or the Fly II. Both have a good arch and heel support.

Great shoe for Zumba. I read the other reviews. I ordered up a whole size because I have high arches. My inserts fit in the shoe and it all fit my foot perfectly. Advise you use a custom insert with these since they have no support.

I love these shoes for my zumba class BUT they are a tad tight across the toes for me. They seem to be stretching out a bit so they'll work. I also picked these shoes because another person wrote in her review that the toebox was more roomy than other zumba shoes & she was right. I have 'fat' toes & need the toe room. Only ZUMBA shoes have the nice soles needed for zumba class & they are so light weight too. Just wish they came in Wides.

I love these Zumba shoes. I have been wearing Ryka for years and wore out the several pairs that I had. My favorite pair were no longer available and the others that I ordered were not right. The Z shoes were perfect right out of the box. They provide lots of toe room, good cushioning and they are light weight. I plan to order a back up pair.

Zumba made easier! These are true to size, lightweight and work nicely for Zunba moves. I received them in two days, great service!

LOVE THESE SHOES!! I've been taking Zumba for 2 years, 3-4 times a week. I started out with a pair of Rykas. I wasn't really happy with the shoes they didn't move well with your body. They had the circle on the bottom of the sole. I wore them nine months and bought another pair of Rykas- you think I would learn! These were also dance shoes. They were a little better but not great. As in the last pair, my knees always bothered me and I was always aware of my knees moving together with my feet. I didn't like being so concerned with that but with these shoes I was always mindful. ENTER THE ZUMBA FLY FADE- I bought these about a month ago from Zappos, in black. I bought a size 8- they are true to size. The first thing I noticed was the support around the ankle. What a difference from my other shoes. My whole body felt very stable. There is a little more room in the toe area (width) which gives my feet more movement within the shoe and no cramping. The movement is like butter. You move and your feet and knees move together- gliding. I cannot even feel these shoes on but I feel so comfortable in them and as I said, the shoe moves with your body's with every move. They are so comfortable and no more knee pain! By far, I think they are the best. Did I mention how much I LOVE ZAPPOS! I hope this helps. :-)

I tried on this shoe as well as the Zumba impact max. This one came closer to fitting but still went back. I have a narrow-normal foot with high arches. I did not size up- I wear 8.5-9 in shoes and purchased is a 9 which is what I wear in all other athletic shoes. It fit well in length but the foot bed felt a little wide. I did not have enough foot volume to fill the shoe so it created side to side motion. It has a nice pivot point and would be a good shoe for someone. Had good padding as well. The color is a salmon color. The tongue is very thin with no padding. That was unique and I can't say good or bad.

These shoes are very nice looking and I wanted very much for them to work. Unfortunately they have a flat, not padded tongue that isn't comfortable and slips to the side. Sadly I must return them.

I love this shoe! It is light on your foot but gives sufficient support. Twisting and turning is no issue at all and is the reason I purchased this shoe for my Zumba classes. Before this shoe I was having problems with my knees, problem is now solved and I am dancing away! Happy me! Oh the shoe looks great too!

I bought these shoes after getting obsessed with zumba and realizing my built up running shoes were killing my feet and knees. I was worried that having a more minimalist sole would increase the pain but that was not the case. The first time I wore these I loved them. The pain in my arches went away immediately and it was so much easier to do turns and pivots without tweaking my knees. Sadly, after about a month of taking classes 3-4 times a week they are already on their way out. My arches are hurting as are the outer edges of my feet. The meshy material at the top that was once so comfy, has now stretched out enough that my foot is sliding around (hence the outer sole pain). Really disappointed in the durability of these. Also, these would be super cute if not for the neon "zumba" written on the back. I feel like a dork that drank the koolaid, if you know what I mean. And you can't peel it off, I tried. Just FYI if you're new to dance shoes like I was, these would not be good for anything besides dance. There's no traction. If I do a bootcamp class before zumba I bring my other running shoes and then change into these.

No cushion in the ball of the foot. Is maybe fine for beginner zumba. Not good for jumping around. Too large in the toe box, a size too big. Ankles and knees hurt afterwards. If you are just doing basic salsa moves these are probably fine. Anything intermediate, do not get these. Hope they accept returns for this reason even after use. I have a wide foot and foot was sliding all over the place inside. If I saw these before buying I probably would have passed.
