Not happy
PostedNovember 3, 2012
I wanted these shoes for so long and I was very happy when I finally got them on sale.... Worm them for 1st time to go teach a class, Big Mistake! I guess they run real size and I ordered 6 because the other people comments about ordering 1 size bigger, they are so flat my feet hurted so much, and the material around my ankle almost gave me blisters, kind of sad!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Love them!
PostedSeptember 26, 2012
I love the support on them, especially for your ankles! Very comfortable, especially after you break them in a bit. Were a bit tight at first, I suggest going a size up, but are not too bad now. Love the traction on them as well, I find them very easy and good for dancing in!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have never been more satisfied with a shoe. The fit is true to size, the ankle support is great, comfort like a dream, & they are so beautiful!!! It makes your feet look incredible, especially with capris. So happy with my choice.

Review 6 for Z-Top Shoes

Runs a little small
PostedJuly 10, 2012
OK, the only reason I gave 4 instead if 5 stars is bc I ordered the Z1 sneaker in a 7 (I wear a 7 1/2) and it fit great, so I assumed the same was true for this shoe. It fits too tight and feels smaller with the extra inserts. Feels like a true 7 I guess. So if you are on the 1/2 size order up.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The best Zumba shoes ever!
PostedJune 29, 2012
I've had these shoes for months, they hold up quite well, in fact they still look new! Also, they just seem to fit better and better (softer) as time goes by. They offer the ankle support that I needed, they have the best traction of all the shoes I've tried (have tried so many) and for different types of wood floors. Please ZO, we want them in other colors too!! :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 8 for Z-Top Shoes
Overall rating
I LOVE this shoe!
PostedJune 23, 2012
When I saw these Z-Top shoes I was skeptical about them being lightweight but since I have ankle problems I really need them. So I ordered them and I have to say they really ARE light weight. The ankle support is great! The slide ability is great! I have narrow feet so usually high top shoes are way too wide for me. But all the comments were saying that they run small and so I ordered a size larger.
As it turns out, these shoes fit me true to size - I wear a size 7 in the Zumba low tops and the size 7 in these is perfect. Fortunately Zumba is really great about taking returns without charging a fee (and they pay for shipping). As soon as I got my size 8's I filled out the return request for them and ordered a size 7. I really love these shoes. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of the way the man-made materials don't breathe. But as long as I wear sox they are fine.

This boot is made for dancing!
PostedApril 16, 2012
Pros: This boot performs very well. The slide action is excellent. I wear a 9 Med in street shoes, Nike, Via Spiga, Cole Haan, and I ordered a 9 Med in the gray boot. The fit is fine. It supports the ankle nicely, and It comes with 2 sets of insoles. It looks great, very stylish.
Cons: It takes a minutes more to put on. The materials are man-made, so it does not allow for air circulation. Wearing a no-show sock provides more comfort and absorbs the moisture.

Review 11 for Z-Top Shoes

Love this shoe!
PostedApril 3, 2012
I've had lots of ankle trouble teaching classes and I was so excited when Zumba came out with a high top! It works like a dream! I don't have any more ankle problems and I don't dread teaching the songs with lots of side to side anymore!
I highly recommend ordering a size up. In my case it was almost 2 sizes. I'm usually a 6 1/2-7 and the 8 in this fit really well. It's very stiff at first so wear it around to break it it in... A day or two should do the trick. I use the extra insole provided. It takes more than a couple seconds to put on but it's not any inconvenience... So worth it for the support!
Great job Zumba!! I initially ordered the black pair and I ordered the grey pair during the 4 hour flash sale today ;)

The Z Top is a great product!
PostedFebruary 10, 2012
I found them to be light and easy to move around in. They were not difficult to break in and fit nicely. I'm glad I read prior reviews and got a size larger. I highly recommend this product. Moreover, they look really cool on.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome shoe! Love it!
PostedFebruary 4, 2012
Great looking shoe, nice sole for ANY floor you're doing Zumba and great ankle support. They seemed too small at first but I read other reviews that said try them anyway. (Besides, I was outside of the 30-day return policy before I tried them on.) They did contour to my foot and they are comfortable. A little hard to put on so a shoe horn may be helpful.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 17 for Z-Top Shoes
Overall rating
Needs major improvement!
PostedJanuary 26, 2012
I am a shoe addict and own every shoe that Zumba has made. I am very disappointed with this shoe. I have a small and narrow foot, so most shoes fit a little loose. This shoe was very constricting. Definitely need to order one size bigger than your normal shoe size. I thought the shoe style resembled a boxing shoe. Boxing shoes are soft and easy to move in. These are not. They are hard, hard to put on, no room to even put the insoles in (which come with the shoe). I tried breaking them in only to end up with sore and blistered feet. Will definitely be returning them. For the cost, they are not worth it!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent Shoes!
PostedJanuary 19, 2012
I received the shoes before Christmas. I had no idea what to expect since my low tops were a bust. These boot-style shoes are comfortable and stylish. I recommend breaking them in to get a good feel for comfort. The two inserts have different levels of comfort. I prefer the reguIar sole for my high arched feet. I only went up a half size since my feet are narrow. They are my best dancing shoes ever! I get the ankle support I need and move with ease. I recommend these very highly!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good shoe - difficult to slip on.

Shoe looks great and is comfy, but difficult to put on (takes me 5 minutes). Could use little more padding in shoe. More for looks than dance. My class loves the look!

Review 20 for Z-Top Shoes
Overall rating
Half-sizes please
PostedJanuary 17, 2012
For a shoe that costs $100, I expect a lot. This shoe had some really great perks- two sets of insoles, a drawstring carry bag, stickers, and they can with a free pair of socks (although that was for Christmas I think). I love the extra ankle support provided by the high sides of the shoe.
Unfortunately, a 7 was too small. The shoe runs narrow and a little on the small side, and Zumba.com recommends you order up. I ordered the size 8, but alas it was too big. A 7.5 would have been just right.
If the shoe was the correct size, I probably would have even forgiven some of the other flaws of the shoe. While the shoe has a pivot spot on the bottom, the bright green piping around the edge of the shoe sticks out past everything else on the sole. That detailing ends up sticking to the floor when you try to turn. Another problem was the insoles- it came with two pairs. One was a regular insole just like any other. The second insole supposedly would provide extra support but the foam on the insole was bulky and sat oddly in the shoe. Plus it made both sizes I tried very tight on my feet which are narrow/average but not wide.
All in all, the shoes had to go back.
No, I do not recommend this product.

GOOD SUPPORT AND SLIDES NICELY
Posted February 4, 2012
I love this shoe. I would normally not order a shoe on-line, but it fit perfectly. I use the special inserts which give my high arches that extra support they need. The high top provides nice ankle support while the sole gives great sliding ability. The only drawback I have is that it does not breath very well. I normally do not get sweaty feet, but this shoe feels quite wet inside after a class.
