Bloch Tap-On SKU #7136735(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Purchased some tap shoes from Zappos. I usually wear a size 5 and reviews were buy a size bigger. I didn't believe that so I purchased size 5 and, yes, I was wrong. Sent them back with no problem and ordered me a size 6 and I am so happy.

Bloch Tap shoes - I'm a beginning tap dancer and for my purposes these shoes are great. I agree with many others-buy a size larger than your normal size.

Great shoes - Need to order at least 1 full size bigger. Love shopping at Zappos, they make it easy and simple. Shipping was free and fast. AWESOME.

I can tap well with control, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on the look.

Great Shoes! I bought these for my daughter -- she loves them! Be sure to order a size up -- I'm glad I read previous reviews. She's a size 8; I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. Great construction for the price.

Got a half size larger than usual and that was fine for my first few months of use, wearing thin socks. Then they began to feel tight in the toes (it’s winter and my feet haven't gotten any bigger). Cute, but only moderately comfortable. Would recommend going 1 full size up.

According to a friend - I ordered these a 1/2 size larger for a friend (she's a 9.5; we ordered a 10). She loves them and said they were very comfortable. I ordered them again for myself a 1/2 size larger but got the wrong size. So I wear my 20+ year old tap shoes to class. Gotta say, shoes are made much better now. In comparing her Bloch’s to my old shoes (don't know what brand; it has worn off from use), there seems to be more shock absorption. My shoes don't have the scored rubber bottom or the cushioned insole. With that said, I am returning the Bloch’s I got in the wrong size and will wait until my size is restocked. 3 ladies in the class have them and rave, but buy 1/2 size larger.

First pair of tap shoes - These shoes look really nice and have nicely cushioned insoles. The only problem that I had with the fit is that the wrong size insole (it was wider than the shoe) was glued into the left shoe making an uncomfortable ridge in the side of the shoe. I trimmed away the excess insole and the shoe feels and fits better. Definitely order this shoe 1/2 to 1 whole size bigger than your street shoes as it runs small.

Not bad for a beginners shoe. I'm a beginning tap student (6 weeks), but have taken many other forms of dance classes in the past. Unlike everyone else, these shoes fit true to size (most dance shoes are this way for me). I originally purchased a size 9 because everyone said the Bloch Tap-Ons ran small. I found them for a lot less at www.discountdance.com and the people at Zappos were very good about giving me the price difference. I exchanged my 9's for an 8.5 and Zappos even gave me a free upgrade in shipping because my class was beginning in a few days. The 8.5's are a little big so I have to wear thin socks with them. If I had time I would have exchanged the 8.5's for 8's. I think the Mary Jane style is good for a beginner that doesn't spend a whole lot of time in their shoes. If I decide to continue tap I will buy a lace up shoe because they're more comfortable and offer more stability. I also think the heel on Bloch's Tap-On shoe might be a little bit lower than most other tap shoes.

Like the looks. I liked the looks of this shoe compared to lace-up or slip on tap shoes. The heel height is great. Fellow students complimented me on how they liked them. I ordered 1 full size up from street shoe, but would only go half size higher if another pair ordered.
