Zumba shoes?

8 replies

J0eypie · 27/07/2014 21:04

Went to my first ever Zumba class this week - Dd is 12 weeks old and haven't done any exercise since before I was pregnant with Ds, who's now 2. Anyway I love love loved it! Took me back to my 18 year old self when I was seriously into aerobics...a different life time!
Please can anyone advise what should I be wearing on my feet? Trainers too grippy, Converse not supportive enough. I'd prefer to buy in a shop rather than online if poss.
Thanks for any tips, I actually feel motivated to get back in shape, it's a miracle!

My shoes are called Adidas Workout Lo III. I bought them because trying to turn on the ball of my foot in normal trainers was making my knees hurt. They're very non-grippy so perfect for Zumba but I've had them about 2 years so I don't know if they are still available or if there are newer models out now. Hope you find the right shoes!

I have these Bloch shoes www.blochshop.co.uk/product/bloch-lime-lightening-womens-dance-fitness-trainers
which are super comfy (and look great - superficial) Smile

Thanks for your recommendations! Crispeater - that was exactly what I could feel happening, like a jarring of the knee, which could be nasty. Ooh the Bloch shoes are pretty...

I have nike roshe runs.

They look very nice too. Do you run in them too or just use for zumba?

I have some pineapple trainers from amazon. One of the reviews mentioned zumba and they are great. Light weight, not too slippy or grippy.

No I don't run in them but I wear them as casual/fashion trainers as well.
