I LOVE Zumba...but my feet don't!

Hi guys - WOW, I had no idea there were so many replies.... and so quickly! I am getting used to the new forums. Thanks to you ALL.


shrinkinginQualicum - I hear you. I've been. I had to get some phys therapy last year for severely spraining my ankle, so I keep going in for random checkups. I have to keep exercising my feet with bands so that has helped a lot.

Raynne413 - The shoes I have now (NB) with Aetrex insoles are perfect for walking, running, biking for me. For dance-style exercises though, my feet burn a bit and feel very restricted.

LeslieTsuk - your idea is intriguing. I have used those for pilates before. I might try them out for dancing.

pscarolina - yes, that's what it seems like.... hit or miss. you are right. *SIGH* I am being forced to go.... shopping.... Woe is me!

Brawlerbella - ok, I will try those two out. I wonder if I can find them at outlet stores....
--this goes for shoes all of you have told me about! And KT tape.

Thanks again! And apologies for the double post!

Make sure the insoles have good arch support. Unfortunately, I had some REALLY comfortable shoes that I had to get rid of once I had problems with my plantar fasciitis. Even though they FELT great when I was wearing them, they didn't have enough firm support in the arches! I hope you find the problem, and an easy fix!

Thanks. I'll definitely watch out for that.
