What kind of shoes do you wear to do zumba?

Options
I have the Zumba dvds but I don't do it much even though it is fun because when I do it my ankles hurt sometimes. I have cross training shoes that I wear while using them but that doesn't seem to help my ankles much. I thought I would post this topic and see what kind of shoes people wear while doing zumba. Thanks for any replies. I usually exercise with them on my livingroom floor which has carpet.

    I just use sneakers. Try less bouncing, it might help your ankles

    I've had the best luck with bare feet. I usually start in shoes and end up kicking them off.
  • I have the special Zumba sneakers and I have the special Zumba carpet gliders on them. They work well for doing Zumba on the carpet, but my knees feel funny. They don't hurt, but they are getting stiff easily. I don't know if the sneakers don't have enough shock absorption or what.
