I am use to buying Nike brand of cross trainers, which are very light and nice on the feet.  These are light but not as light as my previous pairs. The shoe bunches at the toe and now has an unattractive look (I've only had them for a couple of weeks).  I work out extremly hard.  The only good thing I can say about these is I love the way they keep me grounded when I do lunges, my Nike's always kind of slipped so I had to really balance myself. These the top of the shoes holds perfectly in place, allowing me to do the lunge properly.  Other than that, I brought a different shoe for Zumba "Bloch Zumba Wave Sneaker" from Amazon, LOVE THEM!!!!
