These are the best shoes I have ever purchased for aerobic dance and I've been wearing them for years! No other shoe has as much side support stability. I can work out twice as hard when I have these on. I never even feel them, but when I have on a different brand of shoe my feet always start to hurt somewhere!!! And I don't have the side or ankle support.
 I have been active in dance aerobics for 10 years and I am now a certified AFAA group fitness instructor. I like to work hard and these are the only shoes I will ever wear!
