This is probably the second biggest question I get asked (right behind, "how can I get rid of *this* (pointing to some body part)?"
So for all my students, here are the top 5 best shoes for Zumba:
1. Bloch Dance Sneaker ($49 at zappos.com) - These are at the top of the list. They are lightweight and affordable and I love that they just come in plain black, because that goes with just about anything. They do run a little small, so I would order 1/2 a size up.
2. Nike URlead ($90 Amazon.com) - I haven't used these myself, but other instructors and friends swear by them. They are very stylish and offer some ankle support, but they are very pricey.
3. Official Zumba Shoes ($74.99-$89.99 zappos.com) - These shoes range in styles and colors and they are very cute. Unfortunately, you pay a lot for the privilege of that little Zumba logo, but the shoes are still decent. I find that they don't have as much support as I prefer for all my jumping, so I suggestion getting extra inserts. Just make sure you order in a size that will allow for the insert.
4. Ryka Rythmic- ($44.85 amazon.com)- These cute little shoes are lightweight and flexible, but they don't offer much arch support. At under $50, they are very affordable.
5. ASICS Rythmic 2 ($46.08-$65.38 amazon.com)- Instructors swear by these. They don't come in very many colors, but they are perfect for the twisting and turning of Zumba. Like the official Zumba shoes, these still require extra inserts if you do a lot of jumping.
Now its your turn! Tell me what your favorite shoes are for Zumba (or any other workout) in the comments section.
