The Best Shoes for Zumba Fitness

When the NEW Z1 sneakers in hot pink, lime and black and also blue, green and white were released at the Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando, Florida, I just HAD to try them.

When the floor is a little more tacky then the Z1s from Zumba Fitness are incredible.

Just remember: Everyone has different feet so try out a few different varieties until you find the best fit for you. Then, let me know what you like to spot in class!

From time to time, my students will ask me what the best shoes are for Zumba Fitness, so I thought that I would share and discuss my favorite Zumba shoes (and please feel free to add your own thoughts!) First of all: Yes, you do need shoes for Zumba!  Zumba is a dance fitness class and it is important to give your feet proper support and stability while we dance for that fun-filled hour.  I find that the best sh … Read More
