I got these shoes because in addition to being a Zumba instructor, I attend RIPPED classes so I needed something for both. This shoe is very lightweight and good, but when I got it for $50 I thought that was too expensive, and now I see they are selling this for $99??? thats way too expensive for what you are getting, a very ligthweight minimalist shoe, mine even look semi defective to be honest, even though they weren't sold as such. So in summary, good shoe, but not for anymore than $50. OH! and my primary grievance is how easily rocks get stuck in the sole and then while I am teaching they are flying all over the place. Not to mention the first day they were sticky and great on the wood floors, then after that, not so much.
