NEW Zumba Shoes from Zumba Fitness!
They’re finally here! The Z1 Zumba Dance Sneaker from Zumba Fitness!
As far as I can tell, only Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) members can order these shoes from the Zumbawear shop as of February 20, 2010. Here is a screen shot with the description and details. If you’re not a ZIN member, talk to your favorite Zumba instructor about ordering you a pair of Z1 Zumba Sneakers!
Do I Need Zumba Shoes?
Do you need athletic dance or Zumba shoes to participate Zumba?
Technically, no. Special shoes (other than athletic shoes of some sort) are not required to do Zumba. However, if you plan to attend Zumba classes regularly, you will be most comfortable in athletic shoes designed for dance.
I hear people in my Zumba class say that their shoes stick to the floor during Zumba class. The stickiness increases as the temperature, humidity, and Zumba class intensity (and sweaty bodies) increase. Pretty soon these people are forced to modify their Zumba style to accommodate for their sticky shoes during Zumba. The sticky shoes during Zumba can also cause knee pain from the foot staying planted to the floor while the body is twisting and turning.
I recently purchased a pair of Nike Musique IV athletic dance shoes from the clearance rack at Famous Footware and I am very happy with my selection. My shoes cost $30, but I have seen this model of dance shoe cost up to $65 at other shoe stores.

According to today’s Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) newsletter, Zumba will be introducing its own Z1 Zumba dance shoe in December 2009.
According to the Zumba ZIN newsletter:
THE ZUMBA® SHOE IS COMING!
It was the convention’s ultimate sneak(er) preview — the all-new Zumba shoe called “Z1″! Yes, they were for sale at the convention. And yes, they will be stepping out into limelight of the ZIN Shop page in December. Holiday shopping anyone? Everyone at the convention was talking about the snazzy black-and-white sneaks. And all agreed that the logos on the bottom were beyond cool.
Keep a eye on the Zumbawear shop or talk to your favorite Zumba instructor about which athletic dance shoes are best for Zumba.
