I bought these because I do Zumba on carpeting. The reviews said they were great for carpets. NOT SO! Lots of friction. Had to wear my Z Slides over them, which is why I bought them in the first place~ NO SLIDES! Not sure they would be slippery on wood floors either. Other than that, they are comfy, nice and wide, and offer some support. Lots of money for shoes that don't offer mobility while dancing. Too late to return, as I have worn them once. Disappointed customer!:>(
