From the minute I slipped them on, it was like they lived there on my feet. I went right from the mailbox to class and they performed fabulously. Perfect width for my wide feet and I was surprised to see that they ran a little on the big side. (I won a pair of the special black and red Z-Kickz with the heart on the sides and I had to stretch them with a shoe stretcher to make them wider.)
Their pivot points are perfectly placed, they breathe, they are so comfortable and with the sale price, I wish I had bought 2 pairs.
And I loved getting 3 extra pairs of different colored laces and a free pair of Zumba socks. The only piece of clothing I wear to class that is NOT Zumba wear now is my underwear :-)
The only caution I would give is that they do not have very much arch support. For me that was easily dealt with by slipping my soft orthotics inside. They fit perfectly in these shoes.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Greatest thing about it is that its practically weightless to me. I love the extra grip on the very front of the bottom of the shoe for quick pivot. I did notice that it said W on the box but its ok, gives me extra room for my toes to spread out. Overall I would buy all of them once I start working!! :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

I'm always alittle scared to purchase shoes online. My feet are on the bigger side and are wide too. I purchased these in my regular size 10 and they were perfect!! They are so light.. I bought them in the Lollypop and they go perfectly with all my zumba wear!
Yes, I recommend this product.

These are very comfy and good to dance in. I wear a 7.5 in athletic shoes, the original zkicks I bought in an 8 and they are long in the toe but I lace them up tight and added insoles for cushion to get them to fit.
These I ordered in 7 and they fit great but do press on my big toe I would rather have a 7.5 but they are not available. They have stretched out some so they are comfortable to wear. Again I had to add an athletic shoe insert for shock absorbing.
I always get compliments on them!!
Please get 1/2 sizes in shoes is all I ask!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Watch the size! I'm a 9 med in regular shoes, but athletic shoes seem to be tighter. I went with the 9 and they are way too long and way too wide. I've worn them several times, with heavy socks, but that doesn't help. Heed the reviews.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have bought every version of Zumba shoes. I like most of them (the boots not as much, but I still like and wear them). This latest shoe is AWESOME!! Love them! They are the most comfortable Zumba shoe yet!!
I have usually purchased a 9, but have found my foot slipping inside the shoe lately so I decided to go down a size to an 8. What an idea! They fit perfectly! I bought the grey/blue & the black/pink/purple. I love them both.
I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this product! If you are a half size, go a size down.

I absolutely adore these shoes. They are PERFECT for dancing, are very light weight, don't look bulky, even though I have big feet for my height. I wear an 8, bought an 8 and they are perfect. I bought some insoles for a little extra cushion and they are to die for. I will definitely be back for more when it's time.

I taught in my new shoes this week and felt a major difference in comparison to my old Z-Kickz. They are very breathable and flexible. I wear a street size, 6 and bought a pair in size 6. They fit perfect.

Oh how have I zumba'd without these????

PostedApril 7, 2012

OK just to preface, I NEVER buy shoes online because I'm the kind of gal that needs to try things on first...so I was extremely apprehensive about buying shoes without trying them on, especially on this website because let's face it, Zumba.com isn't exactly known for consistent sizing. Well they offer a 30 day return policy with a pre-paid return shipping label, so it was risk free for me to buy online.
BEST decision ever! I wear size 8 in pretty much every major brand- Nike, Adidas, and even sandals/flip flops, so I went with an 8 and hoped for the best.
They fit PERFECTLY. They leave ample room in the toes, they don't squish the sides of my feet, and are super light weight!
The quality appears to be pretty good- not anything different than any other gym shoe I've bought. I do see why some reviewers may say they may not give enough support. You could just add extra insoles, but for me, they were very comfortable as is. I felt supported during class, and it allowed me to do those funky Zumba moves without pressure on my knees- made me look like a better dancer than I really am!
How in the world have I been Zumba'ing for 1.5 yrs. without these? I <3 them and I'm getting another pair. Now, I bought these in lollipop...I HOPE the other colors fit the same since Zumba.com has a tendency to have things fit differently in different colors, even though they're the same size. So we'll see if I'm as lucky with pair #2.
The bonus??? They come with 4 extra laces: purple, gray, black, & pink. The shoes come w/ pink already so not sure why they didn't do green instead of another pink pair, but who cares. The laces at the tip say Zumba on it.
I am very pleasantly surprised w/ this purchase. I was really scared to buy shoes online, but for this particular product, the Z-kickz II in lollipop color, they run true to size and exceeded my expectations.
Hope this review helps. Zumba <3

Size Issues

I ordered an 8 and normally wear a 7.5. Being that there aren't half sizes I figured I would be OK adding my arch support as many other Reviews indicated more support was needed. Once I received my shoes I was excited to have my first pair of Zumba Kicks so I can sport Zumba from head to toe. Unfortunately the 8, with my arch support inserted underneath the removable insoles that came with the shoe and a pair of socks, the shoes were too big. I would trade these in but as I stated before, half sizes are NOT available. Please Zumba make half sizes.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Got these in the purple/pink and am overall happy with them. I added a brand "s" insert in place of the ones they came with for some extra support. They turn on a dime and don't generally slip.
If you are used to more support, they probably wouldn't be a first choice. They are definitely built to be a dancing shoe, as opposed to an athletic shoe.
I usually wear a 7.5 to an 8 and bought a 7. These have PLENTY of room.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Got my Kickz in the mail today. I wear a size 8M and I purchased the size 8 here as well. I really anticipated that I would have to return the shoes because of the reviews but I took a chance anyway. The fit was perfect. I love both the look and feel of the shoe. Can't wait to wear them in class next week. If they perform as well as they fit, I will definately be purchasing them in other colors!
Yes, I recommend this product.

These shoes are very fashionable and are pretty comfy. If your feet need a little more support like mine, I would suggest putting in some type of insert. I teach a couple of zumba classes per day, so my feet usually end up hurting by the end of the day, but I wouldn't blame that on the shoe. These shoes are great for all types of floor surfaces (carpet, hardwood, etc).
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love the shoe and this is my second pair. The first seemed to have more of an arch support where this pair is lacking arch support. I put high intensity arch supports in both of my shoes but you can tell it is a flat shoe. It moves great on all surfaces and is very light weight. The support for all lateral movement is good. If you could perfect this shoe with a good arch support it would be the perfect Zumba shoe.
Yes, I recommend this product.

These are my new favorite shoes. I have to see a podiatrist often and wear orthopedic arch supports and workout shoes. So I was a little hesitant about ordering these. But with my orthopedic arch support inserts I absolutely LOVE these. And they look "cool" too. That's exspecially nice after what I've been having to wear. :-)
True to size. I'm generally a 10, sometimes a 9. I ordered a 10 and they are perfect.
