Great Shoes For Zumba

ByTonyaon February 28, 2013

Size: 7 B(M) USColor: Black/dark Grey/Light BlueVerified Purchase

I purchased these shoes after my Zumba instructor suggested I get shoes specifically for Zumba. Get the right shoe for the right activity, she said. I had told her how my knees had been hurting and that is why I didn't do some of the higher impact moves, and she said the right shoes should help. I was a bit skeptical, and almost didn't get these shoes especially because of the price point, but I am so glad I did. I wear 6 1/2 or 7, and have a fairly wide foot in the toe box area, but not so much in my heel, which ironically is how these shoes are designed, for a women's foot, Made "For Women, By Women", and the size 7 fit me perfectly. First thing I noticed is how lightweight, yet at the same time still very supportive, and surprisingly stable feeling they were. The real test was at my next Zumba class, and they passed with flying colors!!!! My skepticism quickly disappeared when I was doing the high impact moves that I wouldn't even attempt before because of knee pain. I did a whole one hour class with no knee pain at all and worked out much harder than ever before since I was pain free. The lightweightedness of the shoe helped make kicks, and jumps much easier. And the spin spot on the bottom of the shoe made turns much smoother as well. As a result I am getting a much more intense workout, and becoming better at: "Zumba-ing"! I would also like to mention Amazon delivered before the projected delivery date, which was an awesome surprise to receive them so quick. Kudos to Ryka for making such a great shoe! This was my first experience with Ryka shoes and I will try some of their other shoes as well in the future.

These are the best zumba shoes I have ever worn

ByMatthew Brittonon January 15, 2017

Size: 9.5 B(M) USColor: Black/Sharp Green/Forge Grey/MetallicVerified Purchase

I purchased these shoes for my mom for her zumba classes. She messaged me right after class to ask if she could leave a review.
Mom: These are the best zumba shoes I have ever worn! I usually get a sharp ache in my arch during class. No pain at all! I was able to perform spin moves effortlessly. No resistance. I didn't fatigue as quickly. Will be buying another pair soon!

RYKA dance shoes

ByGee BeeMon January 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought these shoes because I needed shoes with good support for my feet and that were meant for dancing and not just for cross training fitness. I recently had stress fracture from using regular cross training shoes. I normally wear 7.5 shoe size. The first ones I bought in this style (in the grey/light green color), I got in my normal size because based on people's comments they were true to size. Well, that's not true. After several wears, the shoes felt tighter and my toes started to feel cramped (of course because feet expands when it's hot). Unfortunately I couldn't return it because I threw away the box and I had already worn them several times. Because I like how it feels and plus I love the color, I bought another pair but in a different color because they ran out of that color in size 8. So I bought this style in the Blk/Lt Bl color. I've had these now for several months and I love it. I would recommend buying half-size up since feet expands, this way it will give your toes and feet enough room and feet expands. I wear regular low-cut socks and my toes even when my feet expands, shoes feel like there's still extra room in the front -- my toes do not feel cramped. The shoes are very light and make you do easy spins and twists, etc. I bought another pair by RYKA (Rythmic shoes) and I love those too.

Do order 1/2 size up. Great for Zumba!

BySusan Robinsonon August 4, 2017

Size: 8 B(M) USColor: Black/Sharp Green/Forge Grey/MetallicVerified Purchase

I love the way these look. I'm using these for Zumba and I they are great for Zumba. However, I should have listened to others in the reviews who said to order a 1/2 size larger. My left foot is larger than my right. Length wasn't the problem. My little toe joint on the left side is rubbing and causing not only that area but also my ankle area to be sore due to trying to move my foot in a way that will keep the little toe area from hurting. I'm still hoping they will get "Broken in" because I do like them. My right foot fits perfect. I'm trying different thicknesses of socks to try to get the right fit for my left foot. So, if you order these I would suggest ordering 1/2 size up from what you normally wear.

Great fitting shoe

ByCecilia Pon April 1, 2017

Size: 8.5 B(M) USColor: Black/Sharp Green/Forge Grey/MetallicVerified Purchase

Having read other reviews and because of experience with other running shoes and cross-trainers I've owned, I opted to order a half-size larger than I wear in street shoes. I'm glad I did, as it provided the fit I wanted in the toe box, and the shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Ryka specializes in shoes for women and it really shows--the fit is narrower in the heel and wider in the ball of your foot, and there's a good amount of support inside the shoe. I couldn't be happier with this choice.

Need more impact support

ByAna Guzmanon April 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

The shoes fit as expected but I do have narrow feet, so that;s rarely an issue for me. My main issue with this shoe is that I don't feel it has enough cushioning, I bought Ryka's specifically for Zumba as these were in the top ten recommendation shoes for the activity, the foot stabilization is ok, but the impact support is poor in my opinion. Now that I have had them and used them for a while, I feel they have stretched out and when I dance the side of the foot goes over the sole a lot more than it should. The soles don't look worn out but I am starting to get hip pain after a class. I am going to give Ryka's another chance with a high top and more cushioned pair.

Good Value, Comfortable and Wide Fitting Zumba Shoes

ByRose Marieon August 23, 2015

Size: 11 B(M) USColor: Black/Sugra Plum/Vivid AquaVerified Purchase

Made a massive difference for my zumba class, much easier to do the steps. The shoes are light, but supportive on the foot, and whilst they obviously don't come up as high as a boot, they do still seem to slightly help stabalise my lower ankle area (I have weak ankles).I was very pleased at how well they fitted my fairly wide (flat footed) feet. I think the price is reasonable, and the shoes are nice and colourful. I shall probably buy another pair, as having looked at various zumba shoes on the market these appear to be the most suited to my broad feet.(at least an E fit, size9 UK). I can wear them for my 1 hour zumba class and then for 3 or 4 hours around the house. I have tried walking outside with them, but for me they don't provide enough support for my arches, but after all they are intended as dance not walking shoes, so I guess that's not surprizing.

Not good fit

I ordered my usual 7 W. The shoe was too narrow in the toe box, and too long overall, especially in front of the toes. Just not a good fit. Also, the shoelaces were too short.Read more
