We need to talk shoes 👟👟. A lot of people including me experienced knee pain when we first did Zumba. Most of the time the reason is that you are wearing the wrong shoes. People tend to just use their running shoes. Running shoes tend to have a lot of traction. Zumba and a lot of our other fitness classes tend to have us move side to side or pivot.
You might ask yourself "seriously! Shoes is what will fix it?" I say Yes ♥️ ask me, a d ask many around you that changed their shoes. We all noticed immediate difference when we changed to the right shoes.
We have couple of solutions here.
1- You can wear over the shoes socks that will allow you to pivot and slide easily on the dance floor. I have seen a lot of ladies that really like this.

2- Buy a dance/studio or cross (trainers) training shoes. I have attached pictures of examples of how the bottom of the shoes will look like when they are appropriate for dancing. A lot of my Zumba friends love our rykas, they have models for wide or narrow and they have many many options. If you get them from Amazon you can get them for very cheap. By now all major shoes companies have a dance/studio or cross trainer models.
3- wear your running shoes when the tread is worn out so it no longer have traction.
If you have any other questions please let me know. I love you all ♥️ Happy feet 👟👟
