    These shoes are fabulous! They are very comfortable. I did listen to the other revues and ordered up half a size. They really fit true to size and mine are a little large but I decided to keep them anyway! You can dance in them all night and still have happy feet!

    Nice looking shoe, but definitely runs small and narrow. Did need to return after trying on and wearing for a short time in my office on carpet. They were simply too narrow and pinched my toes.

    This would be a very comfortable shoe, soft and supportive, could be the best I've had in a long time, if it wasn't for being a 1/2 size too small. I am usually a very comfortable size 6, so I ordered the shoes online but after an hour of wearing it my toes are killing me, they are so cramped. I cannot return it now, don't even have the box left so hope they fit my mom.

    Excellent shoe. I was looking for a comfortable tango pair of shoes and closed-toe street shoes I can use with skirts and these are perfect. I initially ordered half a size larger as recommended by other reviewers but these shoes felt too large on my skinny 5.5 feet, so I ordered my regular size and the fit was perfect. I agree with the other reviewers that the toe box makes the toes feel cramped; however, I found the leather to be very soft and stretchy and once you get going the shoes feel comfy. It helps too if you keep you toe nails nice and trimmed. On the first use I was up and about the streets sockless and these shoes were simply amazingly comfortable, but even more so with no-show socks.

    About Bloch

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Bloch are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    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 wanted to thank all the reviewers of this shoe. I'm a transvestite and I love to go dancing at the clubs and these shoes are great and the 1/2 size larger than I usually wear was right on target.

    Wonderful dance shoe. I have received many compliments. The are comfortable and deep enough to accommodate an orthotic insert for in-step support (for those of us who are flat-footed). Great shoe, graceful and classic.

    I LOVE these shoes! You may have to order a half size larger because they are slightly more fitted. These shoes are very easy to dance in and still give you enough traction to stay on your feet. I can almost say these were more comfortable than heeless shoes.

    Before I ordered my shoes, I had read the other comments about the shoes. Those comments were really helpful. I did order a half size larger than I normally wear. Good choice. Also, I was a little bit concerned about the "medium" width, as I have a narrow foot. The shoes fit good and were not too wide for me. So, I am thinking that maybe they might run a little narrower than a lot of shoes these days. (Which was great for me). The biggest thing I had to adjust to was the heal height. It’s a little higher than I normally wear, but I love the shoes. The sole allows you to move freely on the dance floor without being too slippery, as a hard soled shoe would. Am very pleased! I would have dance the night away in the shoes if my husband hadn’t stepped on my foot. Ha. Ha. Anyway, can’t wait to go dancing again.

    Very nice character shoes. They fit like dance shoes, very snug. I would say if you are used to that kind of fit, and if you are going to wear hose, get your street shoe size. If you are going to wear a sock or are not used to snug dance shoes get a bit larger size. I tend to like how Bloch fits me better than Capezio. Nicely finished inside. Good arch support.

    I ordered a half size larger as recommended - I normally wear a 5.5 M and got a 6 M. Unfortunately the fit felt too loose. Will be returning them and getting something else since 5.5 isn't offered right now. Too bad...otherwise I loved the shoe.

    Very comfortable shoe that runs very small. I usually wear an 8 1/2 but had to get a 9 1/2 to fit comfortably. Heel height is perfect.

    These shoes are comfortable, but tragically unattractive. I'd call these granny shoes, except my grandmothers wore much more stylish shoes than these. Although the side profile is nice, they come up way too far on the top of the foot and just look odd from above. I do like the silver buckle, though. They definitely run a half size small, so order up.
