Well, I have to admit that I was very skeptical about Zumba Footwear, but finally took advantage of the Flush Sale and gave them a try. They feel so good & it is the first time I use dancing shoes..
Yes, I recommend this product.

This boot is made for dancing!

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.
I do recommend this boot!

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 ;)
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

This shoe obviously looks amazing...however, the comfort didn't meet the look. They fit true to size (my foot is narrow# but smashed my foot in the front and left blisters on my right foot and toes :#
Maybe better luck with the Z-Kicks!

These shoes are great for zumab dancing! Hold your ankle right into place, allow easy twisting motion!!
They did feel a bit thight at first try but 20 minutes of dancing made them mold to my feet.
I wear 5 as normal shoes, 6 as fitness shoes and thee were 6 and perfect to my size. (I have a bit of a wide foot too).
Only downer would be I cant't seem to put the cushionning sole into place, it's too big for the shoe!! :( :( A custom cutting might be necessary..
Yes, I recommend this product.

Favorite shoe by Zumba

I have been wearing this shoe for about a month now and I love it. I always 1/2 size up on any athletic shoe purchase and that remains true for this shoe. The look is sharp. I have the grey ones and while I'm not crazy about the velcro strap, it is something I have adapted to. About the performance. The shoes come with additional orthotic inserts. However, I don't use them as my arches are moderate and my foot is narrow. Basically, the shoe feels great to me without the additional support. I love love love the sole of the shoe. The rubber is a much improved platform over the foam sole in the older shoes. The heel wraps up to the achilles and provides stability for heel digs. Hands down that is my favorite feature. I started out wearing the laces loose, but quickly discovered that when tightened the feel of the shoe improved dramatically. It provides great ankle support. One con is that it doesn't have a lot of shock absorption, but I think that is where the orthotic would make a difference.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love the new shoes!! I just received mine for Christmas, so I am still breaking them in, but they did great last night in my class. The new design turn point on the bottom really helps. It feels like it sticks out just a teeny, tiny bit so pivets are easier. true to size also.

Im sorry, but c' mon Zumba ...make a shoe that is functional. The only reason I gave it any stars at all is the bottom of this shoe is great. No slipping and easy to turn. The rest of the shoe is horrid. I teach 8 Zumba classes a week and my feet never hurt as bad as when I wore them for three classes. I couldn't wait to rip them off my feet. Too bad, because that's the one thing that people keep asking me. What's the best shoe? Not this one. They have no arch support, they don't breath and they are really stiff. I'm sending them back, hopefully I'll get my money back...
Yes, I recommend this product.
