Bloch

I love these shoes, they are soft and so comfortable but run extremely small. I ordered and 8 1/2 (normally I'm somewhere between and 8 - 8 1/2), I definitely need the 9.

I am 67 & still dancing! I have an hour-long jazz class immediately after an hour of tap. This shoe works well for me. I put a Dr. Scholl's pad in the bottom (I do that in all my shoes) to make it more cushiony although it's pretty cushiony to start with. I usually wear 7-1/2 street shoe & got a 9 which fits perfectly.

I was concerned about ordering ballet shoes online because of the difficulty in guessing a proper fit, but I took the plunge because of Zappos' excellent return policy and because of the feedback from other reviewers regarding fit. Ultimately, though, I took the plunge because of Zappos' wonderful return policy, and I am so glad that I did. I love these shoes! I ordered 1½ sizes smaller than my street shoes size (I am an 8½ in my street shoes, so I ordered a 7 in the Bloch Proflex). The shoes fit like a glove, and I need not have worried about needing to return the shoes. Additionally, the shoes are spectacularly well-made, have excellent support, and come with the elastic already attached on both ends (years of sewing my pointe shoe ribbons and elastic by hand make me very thankful for this). Lastly, I was in a hurry to get these shoes, but I did not want to pay more for shipping than I did for the shoes themselves, so I went with free shipping and hoped for the best. I received my shoes within 48 hours of placing my order, which was significantly faster than the 4-5 business days that I expected. Kudos, Zappos! All in all, I highly recommend these shoes, and I suggest that you order 1½ sizes smaller than your street shoe size. Dance on!

I really like the feel of these shoes and the quality is quite nice. The only downside which is causing me to consider a return is that they feel a bit wide. I have ordered another pair of flats by Frye for comparison purposes.

These are the best Zumba shoes ever! They allow you to move without slipping or skidding and provide a lot of support for my plantar fasciitis. I usually wear a 6.5 in street shoes and a 7 in athletic shoes, but I had to get an 8 in this shoe.

As a former ballet dancer, I knew Bloch's reputation for well made pointe shoes. Their DRT Mesh Sneaker is fabulous for my Zumba class! I can't recommended this shoe high enough. Great stability and cushioning too. The sole is made for pivot turns without torturing one's knees. I won't even consider another shoe! Buy it if you want quality in a well made and comfortable dance shoe!

These are beautiful shoes but they do run a bit small. I am a dancer, so I prefer my shoes snug and have never ordered anything bigger than a 7.5 but these were just too snug. I went to a size 8 and they are perfect but they are still a bit narrow and need to broken in a bit. I've never had an issue with a shoe being too small or narrow for my foot since I'm a tried and true 7.5 but these run small so heed the other advice and order a half size up. I think once these mold to my foot a bit more they will be perfect. I was worried about them being slippery since the bottom is like a dance show but there is a small corner of rubber on the heel that grips well so that is not an issue. They are super cute but I got them in hopes of wearing them for an upcoming trip to Europe. I'm still planning on bringing them but they are not the "ultimate walking" flat I was hoping they would be. If you are looking for something more heavy duty but still stylish with a "ballet flat" look, I recommend the Merrell barefoot wonder glove. They're not as cute as these but if you're willing to compromise on style for comfort and convenience (i.e. I could hike in the Merrells and then go to dinner without worrying about my ugly clunky hiking boots or I could walk all around the city in a cute outfit in them instead of everyday sneakers), then get the Merrells. If style is more important to you and you're willing to suffer a bit, then get the Bloch's! They are still comfy but they definitely don't feel heavy duty enough to carry me through a whole day of walking through a city in comfort.

Nice dance shoes, but definitely order at least 1 size bigger than you normally wear. I ordered one size larger and probably could have gotten another 1/2 size bigger to be the most comfortable.

This is a good shoe. I normally wear a size 10 in street shoes, so I got 10.5 in this particular shoe. It's very comfortable, moves easily, well-fitted, easy on/off. I used them during introductory ballroom classes.

Cute shoe. I'm sure it would have been perfect for Zumba, if it had fit. Be warned, buy a full size up if you plan to wear socks inside the shoe. I bought and returned these for that reason.

Perfect for Jazzercise! Great arch support. Buy one size larger than your normal shoe size.

Took 3 tries to get the proper size - ran way small. But once I found the correct fit they are wonderful dance shoes.

Go up at least one size. The 9 (39) in this shoe is painfully small. Also, the real color is deeper, more caramel.

Tried these for my zumba and other dance aerobics classes. The padding here is very slim, no arch support and overall a rather restrictive shoe. If you are looking for dance shoes, Bloch's dance sneakers are a much better shoe.

These are great tap shoes but they do run a half size small. I originally ordered my usual size 9 and had to return them for a 9 1/2 which fits perfectly!

These shoes are the best classic ballet flats that I've found. The square toe styling is distinctive and gives your toes a little more room. They are by far the most comfortable ballet flats I've owned. The bow detail actually works so you can tighten or loosen to fit your foot. They run small. I typically wear a 7.5 but I had to bump up to an 8.5 with these flats. Zappos, please get these shoes in more colors. I'd love to buy another pair!

I wear a size 9 1/2 in heels, I tried the 10 is was too tight across the foot, the 10 1/2 fit good. But there's about a inch of space between my big toe and the tip of the shoe. I think it makes my foot look big. But oh well, they're well made shoes and didn't use cheap materials. I got some Caprizio's and they had plastic lining-ugh I sent those back. This shoe has very soft leather and they feel nice on your feet. Hope this helps.

I ordered this shoe for Zumba because I was tired of putting tape on the bottom of my regular workout shoes. These shoes are great on wood floors, but not so good on carpet. Superb arch support for my high arches!

I am enjoying these shoes. At first I had to get comfortable with the flexibility of the ball of the foot. Now that I have I love these shoes; they are comfortable, the heel of the shoe is solid and secure feeling. I did have to return once and get a full size larger glad I did. And as always Zappos made the exchange seamless. What a great company.

I bought these for Zumba class based on others' reviews. They were a great choice! Normally wear a size 6 so I ordered 6½. I have narrow feet, and they fit perfectly.
