First I researched Zumba to find out what women were wearing on their feet for this activity.  That's how I was led to this shoe.  Then I read the reviews on this shoe and a few women mentioned that it was a great shoe not only for Zumba but for other types of fitness dancing.  I already take line dancing lessons for fitness, was considering trying Zumba, and needed a shoe that would work for both.  I have experience with Ryka (I use a cross-training type shoe for regular workouts) and I love Ryka shoes for fit and durability.  So I ordered these shoes in my regular size and I am completely happy.  The fit is wonderful, the shoe is really good looking, and I have worn it now for both line dancing and for Zumba.  Other shoes I considered were quite a bit more expensive and they were bulkier.  In both my line dancing class and in Zumba the shoe immediately got a lot of positive attention.  Everyone loved the look (it has patent leather looking accents - very stylish!), and they were approving of the construction and pattern of the sole, and with the overall weight of the shoe.  Taking into consideration my brand loyalty for Ryka I felt pretty confident about ordering these shoes and my loyalty was well rewarded.
