Brooks Zumba Shoes

Zumba is a fun and wonderful cardio exercise taking the world by storm.

Zumba involves many intense dance moves to exuberant dance tunes that can give you a good sweat and healthy exercise.

However, it would help if you had comfortable Zumba shoes that protect your feet, ankles, and knees.

Brooks shoes for Zumba offer a secure fit, comfortable padding for shock absorbency, and a more flexible sole for better movement.

Why Do You Need Good Zumba Shoes

Most Zumba participants will, at some stage, experience some injury, and sadly most of them are related to improper footwear.

Ankle sprains, blisters, and even sore feet from the impact are often the result of unsupportive and light sneakers being worn, which are unsuitable for this type of exercise.

Generally, most running shoes are also not suitable as Zumba involves lateral movements and fast side to side movements. In contrast, running shoes are more suitable for forwarding movements and may sometime be heavy and bulky.

Choosing Zumba Shoes

Zumba shoes are available, however, not from Brooks, but there are some styles of shoes and other alternatives that work just as well;

• Style – The style of the shoe is your personal preference. Zumba shoes are available in a range of gorgeous colors and designs.
• Pivot Points – Some Zumba shoes do come with Pivot points for Pivoting movements.
• Cushioning – Zumba is a high-impact exercise; thus, you will need good cushioning from your shoes to absorb the hard impacts.
• Support – You will need good ankle and lateral support from your Zumba shoes.
• Material – Zumba shoes need light and breathability, have good moisture-wicking capabilities, and have ventilation. They also need a durable outsole.
• Fit – Zumba shoes need a snug and sock-like fit to prevent friction and slip that could cause blisters and chafe. You also need to consider a good heel fit or padded collar to prevent heel slippage, and that will help to support your ankles.

Features of a Good Brooks Zumba Shoe

• Uppers – Brooks Zumba shoes will have lightweight and flexible uppers that are highly breathable. We have chosen models with Engineered, Air mesh uppers, knit models, and outdoor shoe models that offer durability and good support, with a snug sock-like fit and a good heel fit to prevent slippage. The shoes have a moisture-wicking lining to keep your feet cool and dry.
• Cushioning – Our chosen models mainly feature DNA Flash midsole technology, a nitrogen-infused foam that is stable, firm, and minimizes weight. There are models with BioMoGo DNA cushioning that adapts to your stride, weight, and speed for impact reduction. Lastly, few models have Loft technology for softer and more flexible underfoot cushioning.
• Support – Generally, you will opt for more flexible shoe models for Zumba training. However, there are models for light stability with Guiderails to prevent excessive lateral motion.
• Outsole – The regular rubber outsole models and TrailTack sticky rubber outsoles from the trail shoes seem most suitable for Zumba training, providing good traction on the hard floors.
• Options – Most Zumba shoes are a snug fit, thus available in full or half size only. You can also choose many fun and fashionable colors as needed.
