Hello all,

Wondered if there were any Zumba fans out there as I need some advice on footwear.
I've been Zumba-ing for over a year now and been wearing Reebok Easytone trainers. They're wearing down so have been looking for replacements and was advised to look at dance sneakers? (I feel my old footwear are quite cumbersome). Then I got to thinking the dance sneakers wouldnt have the same shock absorption that my old trainers do?
I find that when I jump up and down on a hard surface (i.e road running) this sets off my lower chamber lead, which isnt a pleasant experience. I've managed ok up to now with Zumba, so wondered if thoughts were to stick with stodgy thick soled trainers or lovely flexible dance sneakers.

Many thanks in advance,
Hels x
