This is a perfect choice for a first time adult tap dance student who has had multiple sprained ankles and cannot safely wear heels. I normally wear a 7W; following the sizing suggestions I ordered an 8M. They fit perfectly. The strap does not have holes in it, and there is not a metal poker-thing on the buckle, but instead has a grabber, which gives it an infinite amount of tightness settings. I hate straps with holes where one is too loose and the next one is too tight! The taps sound good, too. I am very happy with my purchase, and have been recommending these shoes and Zappos to other students.

I usually wear a 9.5 but ordered a 10. They fit great but no room for socks so I wear them barefoot. I dont have a dance background just signed up for a basic tap course and love these. The instructor mentioned these have a bit of a heel that is more for stage dancing but it isn't in the way for me. They are comfortable and feel very stable and sound great on a tap floor. Also these are high quality compared to the other students in the class with cheaper shoes their sound isn't as good.

These shoes fit perfectly from day one. I am new to tap dancing so I had expected some sore spots on my foot but there were none. The heel is just high enough to give support to my arch. I wear an 8 1/2 to a 9 so on recommendation I ordered the 9 1/2 and they were perfect.

These shoes are fabulous. My daughter loves them. Look great and feel great. Size up, because it seems tap shoes run small.

I was looking for an inexpensive tap shoe and ordered a pair of these Bloch's. After I read all the reviews, I followed a few of their suggestions and ordered a whole size larger than my regular shoe. I'm normally an 9.5 wide and I ordered a 10.5. They fit like a glove! The width is perfect. They have a soft felt like material on the inside and in the picture of the shoe on Zappos, the leather looks hard, but it's actually very soft and comfortable. Another great thing is that the taps are already attached. All you have to do is put them on your feet and you're done. I can't wait to try them on the dance floor! Once again, cheers to Zappos!

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.

No company ships faster than Zappos! The tap shoe fit true to size, feels great, and looks so professional. The service at Zappos is awesome too. The only company that I will purchase any type of shoe from is Zappos. Zappos is a WOW company!!!

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

Great first tap shoe - I recently began a tap class, and borrowed a pair of Bloch’s from my instructor. I had never worn tap shoes before, and since the borrowed pair were comfortable, I stuck with the same brand when I was ready to make my purchase. Although I purchased a different model (the borrowed pair I had been using had shoe laces), I found my new pair to be comfortable and easy to get used to. I would buy this shoe again, and highly recommend it.

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.

Runs VERY small...needed the 10 1/2 for my daughter, who normally wears an 8 1/2 or 9.

Great beginner tap shoe! This shoe has an added pad on the bottom (sole) to prevent slipping and falling, which is great for a beginner. The shoe is very comfortable once I got the correct size. I always wear an 8 1/2 but I had to order this in a size 10 and it fits perfectly.

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.

Nice Tap - The shoes look great and taped nicely. But my shoe size is 9 so I got a nine in the taps but when I got them the right foot felt slightly smaller.
