Zumba Shoes - Top 4 Best Choices for Zumba Fitness Exercises

Sounds drastic - but it's true. Zumba Fitness Dance exercise is taking the world by storm. It is a great way to have fun and enjoy your fitness routine while slimming down and toning-up. But because of the nature of the fitness routine steps, lots of sliding and jumping, you need the proper footwear to give to the ankle and arch support you need.

And you also need your Zumba exercise shoes to have the right kind of soles too. Too much traction, like most running shoes, and you might twist an ankle, too little and you might spend more time on your butt than your feet. The Zumba shoes below are specifically designed for Zumba Fitness steps and exercise routines.

There is No Real #1 Zumba Shoe Choice - because different types of people have different needs. It could be physical, like how intense they are in their Zumba routines. Or it could anatomical, different needs for different feet. Or it could even be just a style choice.

The Zumba shoes choices listed below have been endorsed by top dancers, instructors, and fitness specialists because they each have the features needed, and wanted, in an active dance shoe.

Zumba shoes should provide:

1. Active arch support - even the ability to replace factory arch supports with custom orthopedic inserts.
2. Secure fit - a Zumba shoe doesn't have to be "straight-laced" snug, but it does have to fit securely - no flopping around in an ill-proportioned shoe.
3. Mild-traction sole - The Zumba sole should not have a "gripping" sole, you need to be able to do a lot of sliding steps in a Zumba Fitness routine. But you also don't want a "slick" stage-dancing sole either, you do need enough traction to effortlessly stay on your feet.

Active Zymba dancers want these features in their Zumba shoes:

1. Light-weight - mostly synthetics, but with enough leather in the areas that provide support
2. Ample toe room - many Zumba Fitness exercise steps bring you up on your toes, a Zumba shoe with plenty of toe room, or even a "dancer's box-toe" design
3. Wide Stability soles - Good Zumba shoes will have wide soles, even flared soles, to provide the support needed in those jumps and turns and slides, to avoid foot-roll over
4. Breathability - many of the top choices include a mesh design to provide this, other top choices use vent systems.
