These are very comfortable. They are great for Zumba classes. They are maneuverable. The soles are very flexible. I had to reorder in a size and half larger as they run small.

These are a rare and fantastic find if you have a narrow foot, as I do. There was absolutely no break in period. Wore them brand new to a three day Zumba weekend and they were as comfortable as slippers. Great support and just enough stick to the floor. You must size up a whole size, just as everyone has said. For me, these shoes fit my Zumba dance needs perfectly.

These are the perfect Zumba shoes! What a difference the right shoes make. I need a wide width so I had to order up a size. The Capezios are much more generous in width than the Blochs, which I really liked but had to return.

They are very comfortable. I wear these when I take Zumba classes. They do run small. I wear a 7-7 1/2. I purchased a size 9.

I love these shoes! I bought a pair of Rykas, but had to return them because they were so tight. These have lots of room in the toe. They are light and breathable and turns are very easy in these, which is good for my knees. Other reviews said to buy them a half to a full size bigger. I opted for a full size, given my Ryka experience, and they fit fine.

These are unbelievably small! I ordered a whole size larger and my toe was still touching the end of the shoe. I usually wear a 7.5 and I ordered an 8.5. I didn't like them well enough to order another pair to try on. They were comfortable, though.

I love these shoes. I use them for Zumba and they are so good. Great flexibility, glides on the floor really well and not heavy. I would recommend to use different insole though. The one that comes with this shoe wears off pretty quickly especially if you're using this shoe for Zumba or similar high intensity workout. My knee started hurting again (I develop knee pain few months ago) and once I switch insoles, the pain reduced. Greta buy. Go get it! On size, I followed recommendations from other reviewers and picked up 1/2 a size larger. I usually wear a 5.5 but i picked up a 6 for this and it was a perfect fit.

This is my favorite dance shoe. They flex so you can actually tell when you're pointing your feet and the make spinning/pivoting much easy - so much so that, until you rough up the bottoms a bit, you'll find yourself doing the splits unintentionally!

I love them! They made it easier on my feet for Zumba and I love the flexibility they give me to stretch my feet. I'd say if you take Zumba or another similar class you want this shoe. (Oh and Zappos upgraded my shipping so I got them fast!)

I like the shoes very well. They take all the knee stress off in turns and slippery steps like Salsa. I use them in jazz-type and Zumba aerobics classes. Using typical running shoes, etc., yield too much stress and inhibit movement in such classes. Women's size 14 fits me perfectly, but I think of myself as a men's size 11, not 12.

None yet. It's hard to find such shoe's for men.

Love these shoes. Bought them for Zumba class and have found my knees feel much, much better. Easier to pivot and turn, not "grippy."

I bought these for my son for son for his ballroom classes. He loves them and has thanked me numerous times. He says its like dancing on clouds when he puts them on! They have improved his cha-cha moves! Zappos, thank you for having such wonderful service! These arrived just in time for the holidays.

My daughter wears this shoe for hip-hop. She likes it because it gives her a lot of support and flexiblity. Also, when we go on vacation her feet always hurt because we do so much walking. I recommended for her to take her capezio dance shoes and she had pain free feet, which made our trip much more enjoyable.

Love this dance shoe. I use this in lieu of gillies for soft shoe Irish Step Dancing classes and long practice sessions. Buy 1 size larger than street shoe. Split sole allows for good toe points. Excellent support for leaps, although they are heavier than gillies so expect to be tired if dancing lots of leaps. Works surprisingly well for rocks too as split sole allows for feet to be pulled tight while crossed and turned out.

I have bought this shoe multiple times, and for me, it\'s the best dance shoe ever. I\'ve tried others, but this one has the best arch support, plus it has enough support to keep your ankles from rolling over. It is also slicker on the bottom than most, but that has really eliminated the knee pain I used to have from pivoting. Other shoes have too much traction for quick turns. \r\n\r\nIt does run small; I bought a full size larger than my regular shoe size.

I need tons of arch support, so I can\'t wear just any old sneaker in my hip hop dance classes. These shoes are perfect and my calf muscles and knees thank me for getting them. They run about a half size small, so order up. \r\n\r\nZappos charges a little more for these than discount dance supply places, but they offer more sizes and free shipping both ways. Totally worth the extra money.

This is a great shoe. My daughter had a pair for poms in high school and she told me they were comfortable and worked well for dance. I bought them for Zumba and they are awesome. With my old shoes, my knees were sore. Now all is well. I love these shoes and have recommended them to others.

I have bought two of Capezio’s Fierce Dancesneakers this year. I have been a dancer for over 20 years and love Capezio shoes. However, this time I bought one for dance and one for work. I need shoes that I can wear for 9 hours straight and that won’t slip. These shoes are very comfortable and they grip the floor well. I actually wore them while climbing up the Eiffel Tower, all 1665 steps, while it was raining, and my feet didn’t hurt or slip.

I got these for my dance class because the sneakers I usually wear are too grippy and do not have enough support. These shoes are very lightweight and easy to move in. The split toe takes some getting used to. I felt like I was wearing lifts, the soles are so thick. If you don't need the added support or bulk, there are non sneaker type dance shoes that may be preferable. Also the rubber on the soles are very slick making it easy to spin and twist on wooden and concrete dance floors, but you should take care on carpet until you are used to them.

I purchased the Capezio Fierce Dancesneaker for Zumba. They are the best. I would recommend any one who is taking Zumba to purchase these shoes. They make the moves much easier to perform and relieves stress to the knees. Well worth the money. Thanks.

This is my second pair of these shoes. They are good for jazz, zumba, and ballroom practice. They are comfortable. I usually wear a size 7 1/2, but got these in 8 1/2. I remove the insole and put in my own orthotic.

This was my first experience using Zappos. The customer contact person was helpful and really pleasant. The product came when promised, received in good condition, and it is a comfortable good quality shoe. It has really elevated my enjoyment in dancing. I have already recommended Zappos to my friends and plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!

I bought these shoes for my Zumba class. They are great for pivots and don't stick to the floor. Very knee friendly. I love them!

I had trouble getting the right size and fit in a dance sneaker. Zappos was very convenient and customer service oriented, by providing free shipping and free returns. I finally got a pair I really like. I needed a 1/2 size larger than my normal athletic shoe. This shoe works great in a Zumba class I am taking. Very comfortable and flexible, also smart looking.
