Bloch Dance Sneaker Shoe for Women with Wave Split Sole Review

I wanted to leave a review to help people with sizing. I'm a grown man who was looking for a pair of cool jazz shoes for theater dance, both on stage and in the classroom. I saw these shoes in the Capezio store in New York but they weren't my size. The woman in the store told me these shoes should be bought ONE SIZE UP than your regular jazz shoe size. I wear Capezio 10 in jazz slippers so I ordered 11 in these and they fit like a glove. They felt tight at first but maybe after 30 minutes of…

Although I have previously purchased and used Bloch dance shoes of this shape and knew I was a size 8, they were slightly larger than my current pair, a slightly longer and wider , but I can lace them up neatly and make up the difference. I use them for Zumba so the space is good for sock spacing and therefore balance. And I said no to the arch support issue, just because these are dance shoes with a flexible, not rigid, arch, so they really can't have that. I wear size 6.5 street shoes, so if…

I am very upset with these shoes. I ordered a size up as recommended and they were too big. I tried turning them but they didn't turn well so I sent them back and the company only gave me half of my refund because they claimed they were black underneath which wasn't true. I've tried them on clean carpet and hardwood floors (just to give it a try) and checked that they're still clean before sending them back. I had to pay shipping both ways so I lost another 20 bucks or so. Do not order from…

So with tiny range of motion I can wear/walk Nike 8.5 women running shoes comfortably. This is the third time I've come back and repurchased these Bloch sneakers. I started at 7.5 (because I usually wear 7-7.5 in Bloch Tap shoes) and now I'm finally comfortable at 8.5 with no socks. Socks will probably feel a bit tight at first, but I know the material will stretch over time. To be honest, after reading all the reviews, it really makes you feel most comfortable in them, even considering how…

I bought these shoes specifically for Zumba. I do Zumba 3-6 days a week depending on my schedule. I have no dance experience. I'm getting older and getting knee pain which I thought was mostly age related. I read a review of these shoes where someone said they take a lot of pressure off the knees for zumba. You were absolutely right! I really like them and I immediately notice the difference in how my knees feel after just one Zumba workout. The outsole is a little smoother on the bottom…
