I have purchased Adidas running shoes for years. My shoes I got last year for Zumba were not cutting it for me in the studio I go to now (turns out there's cement under the hardwood floor--ugh). These are the lightest shoes I've ever owned. The color is great. They make my size 9 feet look REALLY small (a good thing). You really need to make sure to wear with running socks (thinner, padding on the bottom) just because with such a sleek, streamlined shoe the socks have to be on the thinner side. So far these turned out to be a great shoe. Compared to the more traditional Adidas they will take some getting used to. We'll see how they work for Zumba but they seem to be perfect for running and walking.
