These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. I normally wear a size 7 1/2 shoe for jogging, Zumba, gym, etc. as I like a little extra room in case my feet swell during exercise. I had been wearing Avia 7 1/2''s for jogging, Saucony 7 1/2''s for Zumba, so I ordered the 7 1/2 in the Ryka Transition, figuring I could exchange them if they were too big. They fit perfectly! In fact they felt like slippers on my feet. Here''s what I noticed yesterday wearing these for Zumba for the first time (after 4 months of wearing a heavy-soled jogging shoe): they are light so you can get your foot around from front to back easier; you can "drag" your foot toward center without sticking to the floor; you can pivot and turn in a complete circle and still stop on a dime; you can stand on your toes without your heels popping out; when I took them off after a grueling 65 minute workout my feet were not sore at all, no red marks, no impressions from stitching, etc. I would definitely recommend Ryka Transition for Zumba.

These feel great on your feet, but I teach Zumba and I did not find them to have enough lateral support for the higher intensity side to side moves in the class.

I''m a zumba instructor and am constantly trying to find a good shoe. These are perfect. Light weight and the don''t stick to the floor. The inner soles feel amazing. I have somewhat flat feet so it''s really hard to find a shoe that supportive but not painful. Best shoe I''ve found so far and trust me I''ve gone through tons inculding the shoe that zumba produces. If I have any complaints at all, its that I would like them to last a little longer. But none of the shoes I''ve tried this far have lasted as long as this one so that may be an unfair complaint.
