    These are great shoes that are very comfortable. I am glad that I read the other reviews first and went up an entire size when ordering because if I would not have they would not have fit. I am only able to wear very thin socks with these shoes, so I would suggest going up more if you want to wear thicker socks. Otherwise, they arrived in perfect condition and are very comfortable.

    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.

    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.

    I normally wear a size 5 and I\'m glad I listened to everyone else\'s reviews and purchased a size 6. They fit perfect. The leather is soft and I\'ve received compliments on what a cute shoe this is. It\'s a comfortable shoe to dance in also.

    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!

    These shoes are amazingly comfortable. Beware: you need to order 1 size larger than your regular shoe size. I like the fact that the shoes come with the heel and toe taps attached. I am very happy with my purchase.

    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.

    This is a great little tap shoe! My 7 year old wears a child size 1 and I ordered her a 4, and that is the proper fit. We tried a few sizes and that works. So if you are looking for a kid's shoe, I would add 2 to your child's size and then plus up 1 to get the right fit in this size. She is going to be so thrilled in class to have a "real" tap shoe vs the cheapy patent with bow tie shoes that they sell everywhere else for kids.

    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.

    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.
