These are ok for Zumba but I won't give them a 5 star rating. They look good. The sole is good, thin and easy to pivot on. Arch support is minimal but what I would expect from such a low profile shoe. This shoe can fit a wide foot (my feet are borderline wide)because it's entirely a fabric upper and stretches with little wear. This, however, is where the problem lies. Being fabric, it gives little lateral support. If your zumba instructor likes a lot of lateral movement, you may feel like the shoe gets sloppy. I will lace up my shoes tight before class but half way through I feel like I'm about to slide of off the sole in lateral moves. I can tell by the way the shoe is constructed that it's probably not going to last a long time.
