    I love these tap shoes! Upon the recommendation of prior purchasers, I ordered a full size larger than my regular shoe size. I have narrow feet and the width is perfect for me.

    Zappos was out of stock on this popular item but they emailed me just as they said they would as I requested once the item was available so good job on that! I received my shoes quickly after ordering and they fit perfectly! The shoes are much nicer than I expected and the sizing is as described. I ordered a half size larger as was suggested and they fit perfectly! I would definitely order from Zapper's again.

    Bought these shoes for my sister and myself for our new tap class. Ordered 1/2 a size from our regular size and they both fit perfectly! Zappos delivered them the next day and I was able to practice before the class. These are great shoes and I love them.

    I love these! They are very comfortable. The material flexes with my feet so I don\'t get any uncomfortable rubbing. My street shoe size fits great. I would purchase again if needed.

    About Bloch

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Bloch are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    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.

    The Bloch Tap-Flex is a beautiful shoe - soft, flexible, comfortable. It fits like a shoe that’s already been broken in. I have a wide foot so I ordered a size/half size up as others recommended which was a good choice. As others have commented, too, you may need to get longer laces for these shoes, which I did. I would highly recommend this shoe to any tapper. And Zappos is great. I placed my order during lunch on a Monday and they arrived before lunch on Wednesday.

    I have four kids who tap all with different levels of expertise. They all love these tap shoes the best. The split sole offers loads of flexibility. These are the only shoes they will let me buy them. They don't want any other tap shoe. I have been very fortunate to find them at Zappos, I can't find them anywhere else not that I would go anywhere else to buy them.

    Very comfortable tap shoe with pliable soft leather upper. It is lined inside (synthetic soft material), which is great if you don\'t want to wear them with socks. The Bloch design at the heel curves at the back tendon and is quite pliable, adding to the comfort. \r\n\r\nThe laces could be just a tad longer and I am considering buying replacement laces that are not too long, not too short (considering my foot is not wide or fat, I was surprised at the laces\' shortness). \r\n\r\nI\'m a beginner at tap, so I can\'t really judge the tap quality, although it all sounds fine to me. \r\n\r\nOverall, a good shoe for this tap newbie.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Bloch Jazz shoes

    BUY A FULL SIZE LARGER THAN YOUR USUAL SIZE! These are wonderful, comfortable tap shoes, but they run really small. I wear them without any sock at all, and still needed a 7 1/2 when my usual size is a 6 1/2. Save yourself the trouble of returning a pair and exchanging them. GREAT SHOES! Happy tapping!

    I love my new Bloch Tap-Flex's. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box, and the taps sound great. I love the extra adjustability afforded by laces. I ordered one size larger than my street shoe size and they fit fine. I think I could also comfortably wear 1/2 size larger than street shoes (Zappos was out of size 9 at the time). If I had ordered my street shoe size I'm afraid they would have been a bit too short. I also like the unisex style because I hate dancing in heels!

    Really comfortable shoe but runs small - This is an extremely flexible comfortable shoe, maybe a little too flexible. The shoe does run at least 1/2 size too small. The toe box fits perfectly.

    Great for beginning tapper! Bought these for a beginning tap class I started a few months back. I bought a 1/2 size bigger then my regular size and they fit great. Definitely not for a wide footed person. They are very soft and flexible.

    Bloch Tap-Flex - I ordered your Bloch Tap-Flex shoes for my 15 year old nephew who is in a lot of dance competitions. Just out of the box, they were very comfortable, with no break-in time needed. He really puts them through their paces, and they wear extremely well. I am very happy with the purchase of these shoes (and so is he)!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Can't recommend others as these are specialized shoes, but if tap shoes are needed, these are great!

    Comfy and flexible - The shoe fits like a glove. It was a little snug at first. I wear between a size 7 and 7.5. If you plan on wearing thicker socks then a 7.5 might work best. The cashmere lining is soft and silky. I like that the shoe has a flexible sole making it easier to perform the steps. The heel height is perfect too.

    Haven't tapped yet, but - These shoes feel very comfortable. I find shoes vary so much in fit that I'm not really sure of my true size. I have shoes from 10M-11-1/2N. I have a long; slightly narrow foot, and long toes. Many shoes squeeze me in the toe box, but not these; many times narrows are a little too narrow. These are 11-1/2 narrow, and fit me perfectly. They're soft, and yet supportive, with a high, solid toe box and soft, cushy lining. They felt like ‘my shoes’ the minute I put them on. I don't feel much arch support in them, which works fine for me. I haven't tapped in decades, so I'll have to see how that part goes!!
