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.

Just received my dancing sneakers - great timing. Zappos is the best in their deliveries. Liked these sneaker, very light and comfortable for fitness, but must be the best just for long walks. Very light, flexible, fit just as a glove to you foot, but you have to get a right size for that. In my shoes I am size 5-5.5 depending on the brand, I happened to have dancing shoes from Bloch before, and they are on a 'smaller' side. My Bloch dancing shoes are size 6, and just right. I ordered sneakers in 6 thinking that sneakers could be wider, but they are not, very narrow. Since they are made of fabric and may stretch, I will keep size 6, but if you have a wider feet and would consider ware a sock, may be you should go at least half size up.

I have had many dance sneakers over the years and still my favorite is the Bloch Boost DRT mesh. I thought I would try something new with the Bloch Criss Cross but it fell short for me. What I hate most about this shoe is that it has a pivot point at the toe of the shoe that raises the shoe up...in other words you feel as though all your weight is on your heels. It is awkward to walk in and not as comfortable or stylish as I had hoped. Oh well, at least Zappos has free shipping both ways.

Bough this for Zumba. I wear a 7 and ordered a 9. They work great but I have one foot that is slightly longer so I really need the 9.5 for that foot. But now the 9.5's are sold out! Will try another style but LOVE these! They make a difference on the spins and pivots.

The style and quality seem great but these run quite small. I ordered a half size up because I saw this advice in reviews of other Bloch shoes, and they were still too small--I'm going a full size larger than my usual size!

This shoe is comfortable, lightweight and flexible; it looks better in your hand than it does on the net, but it is way too small. I wear an 11-11.5 and ordered the 12. It felt like a size 10. Impossible to wear this weekend. Big disappointment. They need to correct this size numbers.
