Very comfortable and danced beautifully! As recommended, I took a half size larger, and they were perfect.

I bought these shoes to dance, but they are perfect as dress shoes. Followed the recommendation to buy 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly.

I have purchased my second pair of Bloch Simona because the first pair performed so well for ballroom and tango. The cushioning on the forefoot is amazingly comfortable even after several hours of dancing and the strap is is easy to fasten, take off, and adjust. The shoes also look lovely--very feminine shape and will enhance your lines. Well worth the price of the shoes! I believe the shoes are a half size smaller than your normal street shoe size (I'm usually wear 8 and ordered a 8.5 which worked well). As for the width, the B width seems to favor a narrower foot but note that since the material is leather, it will stretch out some with wear.

Very comfortable and nice looking dance shoe. I find them more comfortable than Capezio shoes.

These are great dance shoes! I've tried 6-7 other pairs and this is the only pair that works for me. I usually wear a 6.5 but the 7 is better. It is a bit difficult to buckle - especially when I'm in a hurry.

I love this shoe! I never thought I would be able to dance in heels. The shoe is very comfortable. I run between a 6.5 and 7 in normal shoes, so the sizing is pretty accurate.

Very nice and comfortable. You do have to get a full size larger, and if you wear wide, then go extra wide. However, it will stretch so use your discretion. But the shoes are really nice, fit comfortably and will buy another pair of dancing shoes as soon as I find something in the proper size.

I normally wear a 7.5, and I had to order a 9 in this shoe, so they do run small! They seemed comfortable when I tried them on, but I still haven't worn them out for a night of dancing.

This is quite possibly one of the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. I love this shoe.

I am not sure I want to tell everyone about this shoe. There will not be any left! This is my third pair. The quality, the fit, the style all classic. The service from Zappos all were spot on!

I ordered both the Bloch Simona and Capezio X-Strap Pump - 2.5". I like the look of the Capezio better, but after reading such great reviews on the Bloch, I had to try them both. The Bloch wins. It's better made and keeps dancers in mind with its more flexible sole, secure fit and adjustable on/off clasp. Most importantly, the Bloch is much more comfortable than the Capezio, which I could tell from the minute I put the shoes on. This is a great shoe for tango, salsa, cha cha, swing and more - plus my spins improved by wearing this shoe. Definitely order 1/2-size up.

This is a beautiful, classic shoe. I like how this shoe really fit my slightly narrow foot: snug, light and flexible. (I bought a medium width). My foot did not slide down as so often happens with a heel, because the insole is made of suede. The narrow, fully adjustable strap is actually quite helpful in keeping the shoe in place: do note that the narrowness of the strap and the tiny buckle could be difficult for some to manage if they have mobility issues. I bought these shoes for street wear, and specifically bought a dance shoe because I used to dance and know such shoes are often more comfortable than conventional dress shoe. Be aware - if you do this you will need to add a half-sole, as the soft suede sole is not meant for wear outside the studio or stage.

I have tried many shoes for ballroom as I seem to have problem feet. This shoe, Simona, is the most comfortable that I have been able to find. I have it in black and natural and just ordered my second pair of black. It is an excellent stand by for me when I don\'t want hurting feet! I order a half size larger because I have high arches and add arch support.

For dancing shoes, these have a nice line (not embarrassing). Look nude. The heel is very stable. Extremely comfortable insole in both padded and suede line, and the leather is glove soft. I will buy these again!

Excellent quality-comfortable shoe. Length feels true to size. Width feels narrower than size, which is great for me since I have a narrow foot and a hard time finding dance shoes that are not too wide.

I own 2 pairs of the Bloch Simona shoe in black and would buy it in gray and navy if it were available. I had the sole reinforced so I could wear it on the street (I'm not a dancer). It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned; love the style, shape, heel height, everything about it. Feels like it was made on my foot. If you ever make it in gray or navy please contact me. My friends ask about this shoe, they love the style too.

Brands I'd also recommend: Not sure. I buy shoes based on style and fit and quality of workmanship and comfort. These are the best.
