The Best Zumba Shoes



The best Zumba shoes not only look great, they are also designed for pivoting, sliding, and all of the other dance moves that are routinely performed in these high aerobic dance classes. While Zumba shoes vary in style, color, and design, there are a few features that all of these athletic dance shoes should have in common. This includes a great color and style that won’t get you laughed out of the gym. 

 One of the most important features you need to consider is the amount of grip or traction that the shoes provide. The best Zumba shoes are indoor training or dance shoes, which have softer soles. This lets the sole of the shoes still give you enough traction to prevent painful slips on the dance floor, while still letting you pivot and turn without injuring your hip joints or knees. Some Zumba dance shoes also feature a pivot point on the toes, to make it easy to pivot and turn while still keeping your balance.

 You definitely want the athletic dance shoes to be lightweight, and to include some shock absorbing cushioning. Most Zumba instructors recommend light to moderate padding, so you get the protection without it interfering with your dance moves. If you are a professional athlete, or are a long time Zumba participant than you probably don’t have to worry about a heel counter. The raised heel helps to support the foot’s arch and provide additional stability. This can be especially helpful for people who do not have the strong muscles and tendons in their feet to help control foot movement and give them the stability they need to safely do all of the Zumba exercises.
  
The best Zumba shoes are stylish, comfortable, and supportive. The athletic dance shoes should be able to give you enough traction to prevent injuries, without it interfering with the dance moves. Along with these features, you will definitely want a pair of Zumba shoes that look just as great as they feel. The shoes should be fun and exciting, just like the Latin dance moves you will be performing in your next Zumba dance class.
