I bought these shoes because of the great reviews from fellow Zumba participants, despite what my Zumba instructor said. I wished I had listened to my instructor. These shoes do not have much support after having them for only three weeks. The heal support is almost gone, and there is no arch support. These shoes do not hold up well and cannot take the pressure of much of anything, including walking. I really wanted these shoes to work because they looked so cool, but I just wasted my money. When I first got them they felt great! But after three classes, they were shot.
