Slow ManWomen's Jazz Shoes Lace-up Sneakers - Breathable Air Cushion Lady Split Sole Athletic Walking Dance Shoes Platform

Women's Jazz Lace-up Sneakers –These breathable, air cushioned, mesh fabric, split sole sneakers are useful for athletic activities, walking or dancing according to their maker, Slow Man. They have an air conditioned sole, a padded collar, arch support, Achilles support, a spin spot and a comfortable memory footbed. Also a middle high heel, boxed toe for toe stands, and a platform measuring approximately 1.96”. Their MD soles are bouncy for durability and traction; they have lightweight lace-ups with breathable mesh and convenient heel-pulls. Their vamp is made of a breathable solution; EVA+mesh footbeds provide a perforated arch for ventilation and breathability. Slow Man, their manufacturer, began in 2004 with the simple concept of bringing comfort to those who need to walk or stand for a long time, without compromising their fashionable looks.I recently purchased a pair of these because my feet have been changing, and my very expensive German-made dance competition shoes no longer fit me. Just wore these to a dance competition in Panama, where I took first prize. The shoes have some striking details, a treatment in their soles, etc. They were comfortable, and enabled me to dance my best. Thanks, Slow Man. Worth a try, dancers.

I like these shoes. They are comfortable. I bought them for my line dancing, 2 step classes. I was able to dance comfortably and my feet did not get stuck from the grip on the bottom. I wear a size 9 US regular shoe, but I got these in a 9.5 and they fit perfectly with thin socks on! If these hold up at least 6 months or more I will definitely order another pair!

UPDATED May 14, 2023 - The sizing seems to have changed...Photo shoes my original shoe (marked a 40 on the inside tag) with the replacement 8.5 (40) on the bottom and the 8.0 (39) on top. The 8.5 is longer; its not that my foot has shrunk. Even in the photon its hard to see till you get close but my foot can feel it! My arch no longer aligns with the 8.5. The 8.0 replacement pair will be staying, the arch is correct in placement. It's a bit tight but I'm hoping for some break in stretching.ORIGNINAL: I bought these in Nov. 2021 and its now end of Sept. 2022 - these are my daily wear work shoes as well as my walking around Disney shoes. And everything in between. And they're just now starting to die. In the sole mostly. The shoes look nearly new on top still - I'm shocked its been nearly a year of intense wear and they're in this good of condition still.I'm loving the high arch and flexibility of the shoe - no regular tennis shoe is as comfortable for me. They're also very breathable (and see through holes) so I tend to just wear a no show nude sock with them.Update: Jan 2023 - the end has come. My right sole has cracked at the ball of my foot. Tops still look amazing but I have killed the sole and it’s time to replace them with a new pair. They have absolutely been worth the price point.

My previous 'Very Fine' pair has served me well, but had become a bit slippery, so time for a new pair. I'd read the reviews, so was aware to pay attention to sizing. I ended up with size 7 (normally I'm a 7.5 going on 8) and they fit perfectly for me. Like another person mentioned in their review, the bridge between the front sole and heel give my high arches a nice support. The back support of the heel is a bit high, so I was afraid it would bother my achilles tendon, but I just did my dancing exercise and no issues. Overall they fit well and are comfortable, and look cute too! I'm ready to let my old pair go and dance away on these new shoes!

Purchased to wear during my line dancing class. They are lite weight and comfortable right now. There is a weird bulge on the side at the ankle. I wear a 9 wide but have plenty of room in the 8.5 size. I will see how comfortable they are during a vigorous class tonight. There is a more expensive option. I may purchase those to compare. The bulge is not esthetically pleasing and I'm concerned about ankle support. I also have to get use to the line across the arch .

They were comfortable. I didn't need inserts which I wear in all my shoes. I use them for line dancing. They feel great.

Too small but quality was good.

I really like this zumba shoe, but it's irksome when a shoe size is far enough off that it's still too small when I order half a size larger than I wear in street shoes. I have to return these and reorder a full size larger than I normally wear because my toes are touching the front of the shoe.Otherwise, I love the style. It's very lighweight, and the top of the shoe below the laces is actually a netting, rather than a closed toe, so your feet can breathe while you dance. The split sole is perfect - thick with lots of tread. This tread formation facilitates easy turns on the dance floor.The shoe width is good. I tend to prefer a wide shoe, but this regular fits my food width. If the sizing was accurate, I would rate this five stars.
