text: I bought the purple ones in a size 9 (size was good as I am a 9 in other athletic shoes) from the Zumba site.  Thank goodness they were on sale!  If you've ever worn any other dance/studio shoe such as Reebok's Dance UR Tempo, then these shoes will disappoint.  They are very cheaply made.  There is barely any padding at the insole part.  And all around it is stiff.  It requires you to break it in.  The bottom of my feet were sore as well as my pinky toes from 1 Zumba class (approx. 55 minutes).  Another classmate had the same shoes but different color and said the same thing...that they need to be broken in.<br /><br />Now with other Dance shoes, you can just put them on and dance for hours with no pain.  Don't expect that from these shoes.  I will not be buying anymore Zumba branded shoes.  They look stylish and have great colors but your feet will pay the price.
