Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Bloch Women's Element Performance Shoe by Heather Bell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

ZERO CUSHION, small size

Nice looking low profile shoe that I think would be great for cardio intensive dance classes. They were there until they disappeared. There is absolutely no cushioning in the heel or forefoot in these shoes and after one session of some jumping and running in place I ended up with bruises on the balls of my feet. I pulled out the insole, which isn't an insole at all - it's just an unlined lining that sits right on top of the rubber sole. I tried putting in different types of insoles/orthotics but there just wasn't room. Every single one made my foot sit too high in the boot and my heel wouldn't stay in, no matter how tight the laces were. Such a disappointment from a quality dance brand like Bloch. FYI I usually wear a 9.5 but I had to order them by a 10 and my toes were at the very end. Order at least half a size up if you dare.

Pros
  • The multi-layer midsole offers more support and cushioning than the traditional EVA midsole.
Cons
  • Durability
