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.

I heeded the advice to buy a size larger and I am glad I did. At first I was worried they might be too big, but as I walked in them, they molded nicely to my feet. The first time I wore them, I got a small blister on the back of one foot. After that, the leather was like butter and it's now a second skin. I only wish they made this flat in more colors as I already have black and nude in other flats and cannot justify spending $100 on duplicate colors. Suede material is great on the feet. Simple, basic, and great with pants or a dress/skirt. Hands down, the best pair of flats I own.

Amazing style that fits comfortably, the heel is padded and overall is a great shoe. There is a part of the shoe that helps it stay on your foot...which I love. They are stylish flats that are great to wear anytime.

Excellent, classy ballet flat. I was looking for a plain, quality-made flat that can stand up to my active nature but still look sleek and fashioable for work (and is made well enough to take in for repair work rather than disposing). These shoes are it! So comfortable and beautiful, makes me feel and walk like a dancer. I am a solid size 9 and size up (US 10) fit me perfectly.

These are amazing! I ordered my true shoe size and they were a bit tight at first, but since they're leather I had a feeling they'd stretch and break in. A larger size would have been too big after they broke in. And yes, these did require a bit of break in, but after that period they are amazing - they even fit my wide feet, which is always hard to do!

The leather is top notch and the shoe is very comfortable. The leather in the toe box is a little stiff, but I think it will break in with time. I usually wear a 9.5 and I ordered a 40.5, the fit is just a very little bit snug.
