i use these shoes specifically for classes at the gym my favorite of course being zumba. the fit is perfect. they are great for dancing and aerobic type work outs, even raquetball where you are moving around in lots of "transitioning" moves. (must be where they got the name :) ) not ideal for running or using on gym equipment. but they work perfectly for what i got them for. made a huge difference for my feet. i used to cramp up alot during class. but i just had the wrong shoes!
