One of my favorite dancing shoes. I can dance for hours with the Bloch shoes. Truly comfortable. They don't hurt your feet at all. I Own Block Nicola in different colors. Love it. Highly recommended for ballroom dancing. Great arch support.

I love these shoes! I was worried when I purchased them because of a few negative reviews on here. I went to a local dance shop and tried on lots of shoes. These were the only shoes that would fit my narrow feet. They only had them in black and it was going to take almost 2 weeks for them to get them in. So I ordered them from Zappos and got them a lot faster! Plus if they didn't fit for some reason there was no worries because of the free shipping both ways. I love that! About the shoes now. They are very pretty. The tan color looks great with every color of dress/ outfit. The color is perfect as it doesn't draw too much attention to your feet. I did have to order a 1/2 size larger because the heel area fit to tight. They are so comfortable and I love that the strap you just pull on to tighten, you don't have to search for the hole. My feet feel great while dancing and afterward. I dance at least 5 hours a week and have had them for about a month and no problems so far. One small disappointment and the pull strap leather has started peeling where it tightens at. Not too big of a deal right now, hopefully the strap won't tear completely. Still don't regret my purchase though. =)

Love the shoes. I was wearing regular dress shoes for salsa lessons and then I bought these and yes they made a difference! Bought a half size smaller than what I usually wear and that was perfect. Wore them with thin socks while breaking them in.

Great dancing shoes! The other reviews were correct - they are a snug fit, but not uncomfortably so (less than half a size), which is good for a dancing shoe.

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.

Love these shoes! I bought this pair for a charitable dance competition. I am not a professional dancer. I practiced in them 10 hours a week for the past month. Very comfortable, sturdy, great on turns! They feel as good as they look. Heel is perfect height. A definite confidence builder. I knew they would not fail me on stage in front of many! Highly recommend this beautiful, comfortable shoe!

These shoes were a good snug fit like you would want in a dance shoe. They are also very comfortable and come with a cloth bag to keep the shoes in. I was pleased with the shoe and also saw the brand in a local dance store.

I bought these shoes for a tango class. They fit well and are comfortable even though I have osteoarthritis in one foot. The sole is flexible and slightly padded in the area under the forefoot. I also love the fastener on the buckle strap.

Little black shoe - These shoes are great! I needed a pair of salsa shoes, and they had to be black! I ordered a 10 and 11, and kept the 11's. I usually wear 10's in everything else, but I have noticed that this particular brand, bloch, I have to go up one full size! Honestly though, I love them! This is the second pair of dancing shoes I have bought, and their perfect! I wish regular shoes fit as nice!

Dancing shoes! These shoes fit great and are extremely comfortable. The adjustable ankle strap, using a different kind of buckle, can be as tight or as loose as you want, and doesn't have any buckle holes to stretch out. They are light and great for dancing all night long! But don't wear them outside - they have suede bottoms!

I cannot wait to get these. I ordered, tried them on, and think they are going to be great. With awesome soft soles that will be good for spinning. However, they were too narrow in the front. I am always an 8, and am now returning them to try an 8½. I hope they fit!

This is a beautiful pair of dancing shoes and they are comfortable. However, be aware that they do run about half a size smaller and they are bit narrow (I have very narrow feet and they are tight on me). I have to return them but I am considering getting this pair 1/2 a size bigger.

Pretty shoe on the foot. Looks nice with pretty much anything. Fits well. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8, and the 8 left no room to spare. I would like more padding on the ball of the foot. After a one hour class, my feet hurt, but I don't wear heels very often these days.

almost great, if it came in my size - size 11 too small (even though I wear 11s) But it looks like it would be a good shoe if they made an 11.5 or 12. The heel cup fits snugly. I find that T-straps give the best tightness. The front might be questionable in a larger size (if it goes wider, then my foot would slide out), but that's pure speculation :?
