Best Zumba Shoe? (Another shoe thread!)

I was hoping I could wear my MBT's but it appears they won't cut it.
Is there a consensus on the best dance shoe for Zumba, and where is the best source to pick up a pair?
TIA.

There will certainly be no consensus =)

I love my nike free trainers (free TR fit) for zumba and other dance classes. They are the simulated barefoot type sneakers so if you are looking for lots of support then these are not the right shoes. If you are looking for a flexible sole that lets you pivot easily, you will love them!

FYI, I tried on the nike free everyday fit and also liked them, just happened to like the style of the TR fit a little more.

Haha. What was I thinking.

Wendy - I actually tried on those Nike's at a Nike store near me -- and they are very comfortable. Thanks for reminding me about them and confirming they would work for Zumba.

Kim, when I googled the Ryka Studio Flex to see if they were similar to the Nike Free TR's - look what came up?

So these are two great choices. Thanks a lot.

I found some Capezio dance shoes on Amazon.com. They are perfect for Zumba.

It seems everyone who wrote a review, agrees with you. Not perfect but close enough.

The only thing is that I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and I'm wondering if I should order 9 1/2 or 10, as everyone says one full size larger. Will ponder that one.

Many thanks, legal.

Sometimes I use my super-jazz when I do kettlebells too.
