Bloch Twist Sneaker SKU: #7811553

Latin Z

I am a Zumba instructor and these are awesome. Light, perfect for salsa twisting, hip-hop jumping. Compared to the Bloch DRT dance sneaker these run smaller -- I am street size 8, size 9.5 was the best fit. Narrower than the DRT but comfortable (my foot is wide). More slippery than the DRT but expect that with the use it will get better -- in fact by my eighth song they felt pretty wonderful. Great buy.

I like the shoe for zumba; it allows for easy pivots and salsa moves. However, it runs at least a size small and may be too narrow if the dancer's feet are slightly wide.

Follow the reviewers' advice and order at least one full size up. These are very comfortable; however, need to go back because I didn't follow the reviewers' recommendations. Not sure of the arch support.

I am so disappointed. I ordered a full size up in this shoe, but it was still too small. I am normally an 8½ in a sports shoe. In a 9½ in the Twist Sneaker my big toe was flush against the end of the shoe. Naturally, the next two sizes are unavailable. I would advise anyone trying this shoe to go up a size and a half to two sizes (especially if you plan to wear sports socks). Otherwise, the design is good. The slippery pivot point on the ball of the foot is positioned between two sole pads with good traction, so you will not slip.

I followed the advice of others and ordered up a size and a half - ordered a 10 when I usually wear an 8.5. I wear them contra dancing, and they are comfortable and supportive - not super pretty, but no one is really that fashion concious at contra dancing events anyway!

These are perfect for Zumba, but the sizes run really small. I got a size 10 and I normally wear 9 in dance shoe, could have gone even 10½ but unfortunately that was not available. They are very comfortable and lightweight. Zappos' provided quick delivery.

I liked the shoe. It is good looking and works very well for Zumba. I only wish that the product breathed more in the toe area. Overall, these shoes are a very well made and good looking product at a good price.

Fantastic dance sneakers! Very light, great fit and most of all awesome support for your feet during high impact sessions. Styling is attractive even with Black on Black. The White on Black would have been Stunning for those who are exhibitionists and like to be seen in fashion. For men's sizing, go with 3 sizes larger than marked. And the price with free shipping can't be beat.

Cute shoe but it fit me one full size smaller than my normal size. Thanks goodness for Zappos' return policy. They went right back in the box.

This is my new favorite dance shoe! It's comfortable and very lightweight. I had to order a whole size larger than what I ordinarily wear. Great shoe and even greater service! Zappos is the best!

There was a strange bump in the sole under the arch. Shoes were smaller than actual size.

Definitely order 1.5 sizes larger than normal. I got a 10 and normally wear 8.5. This shoe feels great and has great arch support. However, I teach Zumba, and it slides around on a hardwood floor due the center part of the ball of the sole. It would probably work great if I had to dance on a carpeted floor. The hard plastic should be reviewed by the manufacturer for something that has a little more hold on a slick floor. With that change, this shoe would be my favorite ever!!

I bought these shoes for my daughter who has a shoe size 7½. I purchased a size 9 so she has a little room to grow. 8½ fit perfectly. She likes the arch support and cushioning in the shoes.

Beautiful shoe, but they run much smaller! I am usually a 9.5, but could barely squeeze into this shoe. Go big!

Very comfortable and sharp looking. I have to order 3 sizes up from normal.

My Zumba class is held on a synthetic turf, and the traction during twisting really put strain on my knees. The slickness of the sole of this shoe eliminated that problem, but I would caution those who are new to Zumba or who tend to be uncoordinated because the lack of traction with this shoe could cause you to slip, even on a carpeted surface or on turf. I normally wear a size 4.5, but I needed a 6.5 in this shoe.

I love theses shoes. The arch is just slightly off but still extremely comfortable. Wore them to about 5 Zumba classes now and they are amazing.

Very comfortable & supportive shoe, but very slippery. I use these for Zumba on wooden floors and continually have to spray the soles with hairspray to keep them from sliding too much. The hairspray only helps a little. I wish the sole was made of a softer material that gripped the floor just a bit.
