PUMA Women's Janine Dance Shoe

I found the shoes just great and bought three pairs of them in different colors... I was happy until one day I was caught outside in the rain wearing them. They are not waterproof and were all soaked in a second. And then they fell apart. I attach a few pictures. The inner soul underneath the material is made of some kind of paper, that would get wet and will never dry since the soul is not freely detachable but glued to the shoe so there is no way to take it out unless you rip it apart. Also, I didn't even wear these shoes for a half a year when the holes appeared. The holes were located in the heel area as well as in the sole itself. I am a very accurate person and never wear my shoes off, which tells me that it's not my bad feet but the poor quality of these shoes. Optically, the shoes are beautiful and they fit as expected, but they are quite expensive for the quality you get. Just remember - one time in rain and it might be a loss. I am very disappointed and wish I had invested the price of all three pairs in something more durable :(

I bought these shoes for Zumba so they only really get worn a few times a week. I was a little disappointed when they first arrived. The leather is very stiff so I knew it would take a while to break them in. They are also rather narrow and don't have much of an arch. Plus the laces are kinda cheap, I'm always afraid to tighten them up too much because I'm scared the lace will break! On the plus side, they are very light - which is to be expected from a dance shoe. They are now starting to break in and get a little more comfortable, but I don't think I would recommend them or buy them again if needed.

I bought these shoes because I have narrow feet and found regular dance sneakers to be very bulky and sometimes difficult to move around in. I've used jazz shoes that are much more fitted but don't offer the same level of support. These shoes sleek but still reenforced in the arch. I like the way they look and the fit, but these shoes are only flexible at the toe and do not allow you to turn or pivot on the balls of the feet at all. The rubber sole is a sticky-soft rubber like on most tennis shoes and not the hard rubber you expect on jazz or dance sneakers. They are very light weight. As they are out of the box, they're not suited for dancing at all. However, I've attached suede soles onto these shoes and the result is a shoe that fits much better than any of my dance sneakers. For the dance I do, having a strong and supported arch is nice, but I would certainly not recommend this for anything that requires pointe.As a side note, there is a tag on the underside of the shoe tongue that will be itchy for dancers who don't normally wear socks.

After three months of going to Zumba class twice a week, i wanted to buy shoes that would be meant solely for Zumba. I have several different types of Puma shoes, I really love the brand and the fit.These however suck! And that is putting it nicely because during the class i was not saying suck in my head.I got them early because i figured being all leather i would have to really break them in. I have no intention of wearing these outside so i walked around my house in them, put on big socks, and tried to stretch them out. By Zumba time today, they were getting nice and comfortable so I took them for a try out. I did the warm up fine but there is not much going on. By the second song my feet were really hurting and i wasn't able to move more than i could in my tennis shoes. In fact, as the room became muggy it got worse on the not moving well part. It wasn't the bottom of my feet hurting ether, it was the top mostly around the toes. The shoes fit well until i guess you start to dance. Only one move i was able to perform better than in my tennis shoes.Tomorrow, is my Zumba tone class so i guess i will wear the shoes around my office with big socks on stretch them out some more and see how it goes. I really am disappointed with how these turned out. Based on the majority of the reviews i thought they would be better.

I purchased these sneakers for aerobics. I usually wear size 8.5 but ordered size 9 since I would usually wear socks. They fit perfectly and did not make my feet look large. Actually the sneakers have a nice sleek look. I used them for the first time on June 11, 2013 and they were fantastic. The sneakers are light weight and cushioned inside which made doing my workout very comfortable indeed. The colors are exactly as they are in the picture. The fusia pink is nice and bright against the black. I also love the shiny black and the orange puma. I absolutely loved the red bag the sneakers came in. It was a pleasant surprise. My friends also fell in love with my sneakers. The quality is above my expectations and I would advise in buyiny these sneakers to purchase half size up if you will be wearing socks.

Love PUMA sneakers and these don't disappoint. The color is just enough on the side detail that it isn't overpowering. I like a plain sneaker and not too much color yet not just simply white. This fits the bill. I bought these to replace a pair of more plain white on white PUMAs - Loved them so much I bought these 2 pairs - in 2 different colors. Comfort and style for such a reasonable price.

I know this are supposed to be dance shoes but I used them to throw on my track and field team. I throw shot-put and discus. it supported my foot perfectly with throughout all of my different throws. if you're a thrower and don't want to pay for super expensive shoes these are great especially if you use a south African throw for discus. if you looking for a dance shoe I would also recommend these as I do actually use the for my dance class at the gym. the only problem is that they are a little too big and you don't have much time to exchange them. my where delivered a few days late so i was unable to exchange them for the right size so if you are going to buy these buy half a size smaller. I wear am 8 but I should have bought a 7.5.
