This is not your traditional shoe. It's a dance shoe that can be worn as a very casual style slipper. There is no arch support and by it's very construction is not comfortable. That said, I love wearing mine as an indoor shoe. You'll need to order at least a full size or so smaller for a traditional fit. Remember, it's a ballet/dance shoe. Hope that helped a little.

I use these for Pilates and they're perfect. I wear a size 10 medium in shoes, and got the 8 medium. Ideal fit for my purposes. And as usual, Zappos went above and beyond with customer service in tracking and quickly replacing my order when the first shipment was waylayed by the shipper. Wonderful shoe, outstanding customer service.

Pink Ballet shoes for a 50+ year old! The shoes are perfect for me getting back into the dance mode. Ordering 2 sizes smaller than my regular shoe size worked best for me. The shoes are very comfortable and appear to be well made. I prefer the full sole as they feel better under the foot more natural.

I couldn't find any decent ballet shoes for my beginner daughter in big kid sizes (she is 7yo and wears a size 3). I decided to try the woman's sizes and these came in a 3. I didn't order down and I'm glad because the 3 was a perfect fit. The quality is great and so is the price. I am one happy ballet momma!

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 love them! Having been a dancer in my younger years I've really been missing it, so I decided to order a new pair of ballet slippers. I always bought Capezio slippers in the past, but when Zappos didn't have my size in those I decided to try the Bloch instead. My typical shoe site is a 7 1/2 or 8, average width, depending on how pointed the toe is. I ordered a 5B in these and they are perfect. The tops are a little wide until you adjust the drawstring, which is typical of ballet slippers. I am very pleased with them.
Brands I'd also recommend: Capezio

These shoes were exactly what my daughter needed. They were comfortably and supported her the arch in her feet.

One full size smaller than normal, provided a perfect fit. They arrived in one business day, just in time for a dance recital. Am ordering another pair. Very comfortable!

I usually wear a 6.5, and I ordered these in a 5B. The shoe fit extremely well, but the leather sole was a little short, so it came to mid-heel. I also ordered these in black in a size 5.5B, and they were absolutely perfect. With the elastic laces, they were adjustable to provide a snug fit for bellydancing. I'm ordering another pair for tai chi. As for rating the sizing, it's hard as you also have to consider the manufacturer's recommendations. For me, 1 full size smaller than normal was perfect.

I purchased these for my 11 year old daughter. She is between sizes so I wasn't sure what to order. I ordered a couple sizes to make sure we got the right fit. As always, Zappos made the process easy and convenient with their return policy and my daughter is thrilled with her shoes. I order from Zappos regularly and love their service.

These shoes are wonderful for house or dancing. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered size 7 and could have used a 7 1/2. My feet and ankles swell late in the day and a 7 1/2 would have been the best choice for me. The quality is excellent. I do some hard dancing on Saturday nights. I needed a shoe with a leather sole that would slide and couldn't find anything! These are perfect.
Brands I'd also recommend: Didn't find anything else that would work.

Love these shoes! I only ordered 2.5 sizes down and they fit like a glove. I really only ordered them because it seemed like a fun idea. I'm not in any ballet classes (not since I was 5 anyway), but when I wear these shoes at the grocery store or something I have to say they make me prance around more. I love it.

Serves my purpose - I'm wearing these shoes for my wedding - I'm taller than my fiancé and didn't want to add any height, plus I wanted something comfortable. These ballet slippers fit the bill. My only complaint is that they are pretty wide around the top - I had to really tighten up the drawstrings to make them fit. I wouldn't be able to wear them for serious dancing due to that issue, but they'll be fine for the wedding.

Much better fit for long narrow feet than other brands - I hadn't danced in 25+ years and wanted something simple for myself after my daughter began ballet classes. Size down 2.5 to 3 sizes from your dress shoe size. I am a 10 or 10.5 narrow and got these in 7.5 and 8 narrow to try both. I ended up keeping both--the smaller, snugger pair are best for dancing, but I use the slightly looser pair for yoga and pilates.

I followed the advice on sizing and ordered two sizes smaller. The fit was perfect. I ordered the slippers for an adult ballet class and I am very happy with my purchase.

Comfy Shoe - I found the recommendation to order 3 sizes smaller to be true -- I was skeptical and only went down 2 and they're a little big. Plus, they are leather, they will stretch a bit.

Not as small as they say... I ordered this shoe for my daughter three sizes smaller than her actual size as recommended and they are tiny. Now I have to return them and order her regular size.

Feel like a kid again! I purchased these to wear around the house and I think they're great! I could have ordered a size smaller than I did, so if you're on the fence, go a size down.

Dancing - I had a really hard time trying to find a dance shoe with an E width. I bought a couple and this Bloch was the only brand that came close to fitting. It is still a little tight where the stitching is, but overall, I am very pleased. I would recommend this brand to anyone. Now, if I could just fine jazz shoes in an E width, I would be in heaven.
