I needed a dance sneaker that would allow me to move correctly on a wooden floor during my Zumba class.  My Nike Musique IV shoes were just a bit too "grippy", and I noticed many of my classmates had the Capezio Rockits.  After reading all the Rockit reviews, as well as the reviews for several other styles and brands of dance sneakers, I decided to go ahead and order the Rockits.  I'm glad I did, because this style works much better for me.  The soles are more slippery, which is what I need to do the moves and steps right; but not so slippery that I am afraid I'll fall, and the split sole is much better for moves that require you to be on your toes or heels.

There are two reasons I didn't give this style five stars: 1) I was warned by some of my classmates that they tend to run narrow, and I would have to agree.  I have an average width foot, wear size 8 normally, and I did order up a half size as advised in many of the reviews.  The length is fine, but by the end of my hour long class my little toes feel cramped; it might be because they hit right where there is a seam.  (One of my classmates Rockits are actually coming apart in the exact same place, and she says she knows several other of our classmates have had the same issue). I don't wear socks with them either.  2) Why does it have to have so much padding on the tongue and upper portion?  It is nice & comfy, but I just don't see the reason for it...it makes the shoe bulky, and I don't think its necessary.

Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe.  The price was reasonable, and I feel like I can move better and get the benefit of the exercise, and I do like the way they look except for that thick tongue!
