Shoe recommendation needed

My primary form of exercise is running, but I also like to do some type of aerobic-like exercise a couple times a week (i.e., Zumba, 30 Day Shred, etc).
I've been wearing my running shoes for these other exercises, but the bottoms of my feet burn when I do. (they don't hurt when running, just when doing stuff like 30 Day Shred).
What type of shoe would you recommend for aerobic-type exercises? Thanks!

SHOES...a lot of the time its about finding the right shoe for YOU. Running shoes can work for any exercise but sometimes they might not do the job in your case. What brand is it? Have you ever tried under armour? A crossfit type of shoe might be perfect for those types of classes...Reebox has the most shoes geared towards crossfit right now.0

They actually make special shoes for Zumba. I assume they would work well with all aerobic exercises.

I have to wear a flat tennis/trainer when doing my elliptical or 30DS, and a running type shoe when walking/jogging that has good arch support. I cannot do jumping jacks or anything that requires me to lift my feet up with the arch. I also prefer the flat shoe for boxing class and biking.0

Found this just today. I'm having the same problem with my shoes, not to mention I have bad knees.

I have a friend who uses her Vibram for Yoga, might work for Zumba as well.0

Your instructor may be able to help. I wonder if court shoes would be good since they give support for sideways motion0
