Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Bloch.
Bloch´s philosophy of listening to dancers is still as strong today as it was when Jacob Bloch made his first pair of pointe shoes in 1932. Bloch arrived from Europe in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression and began making shoes by hand in the workshop where he lived.

Bloch loved watching ballet and visited many dance studios. At one such studio, he noticed a young dancer who was having trouble staying on pointe. Bloch promised he would make her a better pair of shoes, and so he did. After that, Bloch´s reputation for making good dance shoes spread rapidly.

At Bloch, the respect the company has for its clients' art is infinite. Contributing to a dancer's artistry, in even the slightest way is the ultimate Bloch goal. Admittedly jealous of their clients' artistic ability, Bloch is proud to contribute confidence and beauty through the best dance footwear in the world.

These are the absolute best Zumba shoes that I have found! They are super cute and the bottom of the shoes have a big smooth spot that lets me turn without twisting my knees in class. I have been wearing Nike Shox, in which I was not able to turn at all. These come in cute colors, too!

These shoes are perfect for Zumba! I slide around the floor nicely, yet stay in place when I need to. However, I will have to sell them or give them away. The inside of the shoe has no support- might as well be barefoot. So, if you need support in any way (arch or otherwise), these will have your feet aching within the hour. I even bought insoles in hopes of keeping the shoes and they didn't help. Bummed. Back to using my walking shoes. Ordered a 1/2 size bigger as suggested and they fit until I bought the insole. Shoes were a tiny bit narrow as I have neuromas and my toes need room to spread out.

I love, love, love these kicks! I take Zumba at least four times a week and I have been searching for the right shoes for over a year. I over pronate and kept getting sore tendons. I read the reviews on these and took the plunge. They are amazing!! A little slippery if you're on a hardwood floor, but nothing crazy like a regular dance shoe. These are perfect for any kind of Zumba Fitness or cardio dance class.

I'd also recommend: Nike Asics

I hesitated buying dance shoes for three years because they are so ugly, but after hurting my feet I figured I needed some. I saw these online and they were so cute. I ordered half a size bigger like the reviews said. I love these shoes! They make such a difference! They feel great on my feet and the bottoms of them help so much with dancing (Zumba). Do not hesitate, these shoes are totally worth it!

I purchased the black Apex to replace my Bloch Boost mesh sneaker. Was looking for something more "traditional" looking yet funky enough to make a statement leading Zumba class. They are fantastic! As with the other Bloch shoes I bought a full size larger than street shoe and they were perfect. Have since bought other colors. Keep 'em coming!
