I ordered this shoe in a size 7 1/2 (my normal shoe size) and they were way too small. I returned them and ordered a size 9. These seem to fit perfectly. I really like the style and am looking forward to wearing them to my next Zumba class!

Runs very small. I wear a 5.5, but a wide foot. I ended up with a 7.5...and they may still be tight.

This shoe runs very small. If I had known, it would have saved unnecessary returns.

I bought these for Zumba because I attend Zumba class 4 to 5 times a week. They're light and have the perfect amount of support for my feet. Order 1.5 size bigger than your street shoes. I have to watch my form for squats or my feet slip, but it only happens when I'm trying to cheat. I tried Ryka but they weren't right for my feet.

Lovely lightweight sneaker but the sizes run quite small! Returning for a half size larger and hoping that will be enough. Didn't keep them on long enough to truly assess comfort and support...

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.

These shoes were purchased for use in Zumba classes. I am a man, one of the few doing Zumba these days, and had tried a number of different brands in my search for a suitable Zumba shoe. These are very lightweight, have good arch support and cushioning, and have the perfect amount of traction and slide for executing Zumba dance moves on a wood gym floor. And I simply cannot say enough about Zappos. In my opinion, Zappos provides the best online shopping experience in the world! Their user-friendly website, fantastic selection and shipping, and truly amazing customer service, all made for a shopping experience I look forward to repeating. If you're into Zumba, try the Bloch Crisscross from Zappos, you'll be glad you did!

Although it looks super hot it is not. Shoe feels like plastic. And size runs extremely small. Ordered one whole size bigger and the shoe is still too small. Now I'm forced to return it.

Needed two sizes larger than my actual shoe size to get my feet in them.

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.

I love these shoes I only gave them a low overall grade because the sizing is way off. My daughter wears a 4½. I ordered the 7½, and they were too small. I returned them for an 8 which fit fine. Otherwise these are great!

Bloch's traditionally run a full size small from your sneaker size (ladies), as do most split sole dance sneakers...it's just how things are in the dance world. Some dancers prefer a very snug fit. Most people prefer a comfortable street fit. Good looking shoe. I ordered a 7.5 (wear a 7 sneaker) and had to return because they were too small. Now have a size 8 Bloch. Love them. These are VERY light and I'm curious to see how Bloch's hold up to the rigorous workouts. My Leo's lasted forever, my Sansha's only six months. Hoping Bloch will meet my expectations.

Great shoe, but 1.5 sizes smaller than your norm. I am an 8.5, but a 9.5 was too small! And the sizes between 8-10 are never in stock with zappos. Hoping a size 10 will work, when/if I ever can get it.

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.

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.

Brands I'd also recommend: not sure

I got these as a Christmas gift for doing Zumba at home. I had been having trouble finding the right shoe/floor combination and this shoe solved all my problems! It gives enough support where needed, but is flexible to allow for pivots and dance moves. As always, Zappos provided great service. Definitely heed the advice and order up - I did 1.5 times larger than my normal shoe size, and it's almost too small. I wear a bit thinner socks than I normally would for fitness, and they're fine.

Great shoe for Jazzercise! Wonderful stability for quick movements, great for turns, glides when you are dancing and grips the floor during the strength portion of the class. You just can't get all this in a regular sneaker.
