I wouldn't say that they are the best for turns - they don't seem to have a sweet spot on the ball of the foot - but they certainly aren't the worst. I would describe them as lightly sticky.

To give you a frame of reference, I have been practising a Tunisian dance for two hours every week, with the constant twisting back and forth while on my toes. They have been life savers for my feet and haven't interfered with my constant directional changes while on the balls of my feet.
