text: I bought these shoes to do Zumba in as they got good reviews for shock absorption...the heel cup is magnificent, the arch support is great (I have really bad feet, so these things are very important)...but the truth of the matter is; after 45 minutes of Zumba; from the ball of my feet through my toes is numb and in a lot of pain. I love these shoes otherwise; but unfortunately I will have to purchase something else that will support my heel, my crazy high arch, and cushions the ball of my foot.<br /><br />If you do not have foot problems normally, I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE SHOES, but for me...they just aren't the right shoe for what I need.<br /><br />P.S. Shoes are cute as all get out though :)
