Made a massive difference for my zumba class, much easier to do the steps. The shoes are light, but supportive on the foot, and whilst they obviously don't come up as high as a boot, they do still seem to slightly help stabalise my lower ankle area (I have weak ankles).I was very pleased at how well they fitted my fairly wide (flat footed) feet. I think the price is reasonable, and the shoes are nice and colourful. I shall probably buy another pair, as having looked at various zumba shoes on the market these appear to be the most suited to my broad feet.(at least an E fit, size9 UK). I can wear them for my 1 hour  zumba class and then for 3 or 4 hours around the house. I have tried walking outside with them, but for me they don't provide enough support for my arches, but after all they are intended as dance not walking shoes, so I guess that's not surprizing.
