I bought these sneakers for Zumba. I'll be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the look of these shoes, but they got such rave reviews! I'm an overweight girl, and all other sneakers were hurting my feet and cutting off the circulation to my toes. I needed a wider shoe with room in the toe box. I LOVE THESE!!! I feel like I am putting slippers on my feet, and they offer support in all the right places! I had tried a few different "dance" sneakers with a look that I liked better, but these Blochs are the way to go! HIGHLY recommended. They do run very small. I normally wear a 8.5-9, and I ordered these in a 10, and they fit great.

I love, love, love these shoes for Zumba; as an instructor, balls of feet quite distressed. These sneakers give the support and agility much better than Nike Musique's or the Capezio look-alikes. I've tried cross trainers, used Spenco inserts, nothing beats these Blochs. Run small, I normally take an 8 so ordered a 9 and fits great with my half sock. The added cushion in the heel is great, too though I don't have any heel issues. I'm just waiting for Bloch to come out with a different color style, say black sneaker with hot pink or neon lime highlights to go with all the cool dance wear out there!
Brands I'd also recommend: Nike running sneakers

Like the shoe, but what is up with the bogus sizing? I normally wear an 8. I ordered a 9. I'm sending them back. The 9 felt like a 7! Order at least 2 full sizes bigger!

Too bad, the shoes are nice but way too small for the average foot. The sizes posted are at least 1 to 1.5 smaller than indicated. They should indicate in product layout that they run really small. Why waste time for people having to return them because they are so small?

About Bloch
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 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.

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!

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!

These look great but are a bit too small. I will order a 1/2 size up, and see if it feels better.

I love these shoes but they are sized incorrectly. I generally wear a 8 1/2 - 9 in woman's shoes. I am sending these back for a 2nd time and I am ordering a size 10 (I never ever have worn a size 10) in order to get them to fit. Great shoe but order a whole size larger than what you normally would wear!

I am that rare species, a man who goes to Zumba workouts. I had always used cross-trainers for aerobics classes previously, but Zumba involves an unusual amount of pivoting and turning, and my shoes were sticking to the floor too much. There are "dance aerobic" shoes for women, but my feet are too big for any of these. My research led me to these split-sole dance sneakers, one of the few models made in an equivalent to a mens size 12. I calculated the correct size before ordering, but the pair I got were a half size too small. I did an exchange, and the size 15.5 shoes I got the second time around turned out to fit correctly. The best things about the shoes are their flexibility and their lack of "stickiness," i.e. I can pivot smoothly. This type of shoe takes some getting used to, and it was by my third Zumba class that I truly began to feel comfortable in them. The potential problem with these shoes used for this purpose is a lack of lateral support. These are made for dancing, not big, sudden, thunderous lateral athletic movements. There is a potential for arch or ankle weakness here, so beware. They do have adequate cushioning, however, so jumping type movements are fine. Overall I am happy with the shoes and would recommend them for Zumba, though frankly, a male version of woman's dance aerobic shoes would be slightly preferable. For any men out there interested in Zumba, I can also recommend trying indoor soccer shoes that have relatively little tread. They are light, pivot well, and are surprisingly stable.

I love these shoes for my Jazzercise work outs! They have excellent support in the arch and make my feet feel so much more comfortable than normal trainers! I won't do my Jazzercise class without them now. :)

Great shoe, very comfortable. Has adequate arch support in my opinion. I wear 9 or 9.5 wide in street shoes. I ordered 10.5 medium and got a good fit. I wasn't able to use my orthotic insert with these shoes, however they are comfortable enough without them.
