I bought these shoes for zumba. They made me dance so much better because I can easily pivot in them. I have noticed for the higher impact dance I need to wear cushy socks because there isn't much cushioning in the shoe itself. I do love the flexibility of the shoe as well.

I ordered a size 8 but should have ordered 8 1/2. I usually wear a 6 1/2 in regular shoes. These shoes or of great quality and make line dancing a lot easier. They don\'t make me a pro but nothing can do that. Ha

I read all the reviews and thought "oh, one size up should be plenty". Wrong! Definitely a size and a half. They're great shoes to dance in.

Bought these a size and a half bigger, going according to the previous reviews. They are at least a half size too big. They\'re pointier in the toes than I like. I\'m going to send them back; haven\'t worn them at all. I like the color, though.

Wow! After trying Nike Threads, Air Troupe, Cameos, Musiques, Danskin Felecity, Capezio dancesneakers, you name it, I felt like I'd never find the best shoe for Zumba. Until I read about these Blochs. As a Zumba instructor, I need to be able to pivot and not have any issues with my knees. (No one wants that!) These are so light, comfy and great right out of the box. My only request would be a better selection of colors; they are a bit dull for Zumba!

I should have been more leery of a product that reviewers were suggesting to buy two sizes larger than "normal," but so many people liked this shoe, and I want a shoe for Zumba class, so I decided to try it. I usually wear a 7-1/2 but occasionally an 8; so I ordered the 8-1/2 (never in my life have I even tried on an 8-1/2). They do have a lot of arch support, but it is in the wrong place for my foot. I kept wanting to push my heel back to the rear of the shoe (nowhere to go!) to get the arch support to meet my foot, but that just wasn't going to happen. A larger size would not have solved the problem, but a smaller size would have been too short. Needless to say, these are weirdly sized shoes, and I have to second guess the professionalism of a shoe manufacturer who is that far off the mark. (I'm just sayin'.) These pups are on their way back to Zappos and I have a pair of Capezios on route that I'll give a try. I'm hoping they work because I really need a new pair of gym shoes for Zumba! Thanks Zappos for making the return so easy! As always, "I'll be baaack!"

These shoes were bought for Zumba! They are perfect. Flexible, slick on the bottom and are very comfortable. No more knee pain. These shoes keep you turning and doing all the quick steps in Zumba without any problems. I don't wear them outside at all, only in the gym. Be prepared to wear other shoes and change into these upon arrival. Try them, you will not be disappointed.

These shoes provide excellent arch support, whether you need it or not. I ordered a 1/2 size up from my regular sneaker (1 size up from street shoes) and they fit perfectly. They are very light weight and perfect for Zumba. The pink is more of a "baby light pink" different than what it appears on my computer screen.

I love these shoes. I usually take a 10M & I bought an 11.5 & they were too big. I ordered an 11 & they're a perfect fit. I use them for Zumba dance aerobics. I find they allow easier pivoting with less stress on my knees. And of course Zappos' easy no hassle return policy made the exchange a breeze!

I love these shoes for zumba classes. They do run small. I normally wear a size 9 and I originally purchased a size 9.5. I had to exchange them for a larger size. I ended up with a 10.5 and they fit wonderfully! So, order a size or size and 1/2 larger than what you normally would wear. They have great support for my pronated feet and are wonderful for jumping and pivoting. Better than Nike Musique that I had last time. Blochs are worth every penny. Also, Zappos customer service was absolutely fantastic! She helped me with the return and there were no problems with that. I didn't have to pay an extra dime for the return and exchange. Plus, she shipped the new ones 2 day air no cost to me. They are wonderful. I will purchase from Zappos.com next time I need any shoes. I have hard to fit feet that are very sensitive, so I normally shop at Nordstrom where they have a great return policy. I have to wear shoes for a day or so to see if they are going to hurt my feet or not. I still have to wear shoes from Zappos.com in the house and not outside to check comfort (unlike Nordstrom), but their return policy is outstanding. Highly recommended!

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST, CHANGE. Please note that the sizing has changed for this model. The older review posts say to buy 1-2 sizes larger but now they no longer run that small. I ordered a 10 and my friend has an older pair in a 10 1/2 and her sneakers are much SMALLER than mine even though the label says otherwise. I wear a size 9 shoe, so now the 10 is way to big. I am returning them to get a 9 1/2 and if they are still too big will have to get a 9. The service is wonderful and the sneakers are wonderful too. I would definitely buy them again to be used for a Latin Fusion Pachanga dance aerobics class and for a Zumba class.

Very comfortable dance shoe; prefer them over the Capezio Mesh, which happened to rip on me. Hard at first; had to break them in a little bit. Good arch support.

I bought these for Zumba, I had previously bought a different style of Bloch shoes but the toe ripped out after about a month. These work great, I think they have more cushioning than the others and it's much easier to do turns and spins. I did order one size up from my regular shoe size and they fit perfect....great shoe for Zumba!

I wear an 8 wide and purchased these shoes in a size 9 for Jazzercise. I have plenty of toe room and probably could have gone with an 8 1/2, but I am still very satisfied with the 9s. For those of you with wide feet, these should definitely work for you. I have to buy all of my athletic type shoes in a wide size, but decided to go out on a limb with these since wide is not available. I was wearing my Asics running shoes to Jazzercise and the bulkiness and traction on them made me feel like I was sticking to the hardwood floors, and I felt as though I looked pretty clumsy in them. These shoes make me feel lighter on my feet. I am 100% satisfied with these! Highly recommend for dance aerobics.

I love these shoes, with some qualifications. I am wondering if I am using them for the wrong type of dancing. I am finding that for hip-hop, they are a bit sticky on the floor for me, and too flexible. But for Zumba dancing, they are okay. But I do love the style, and they are fun. I love the pink color. I did end up buying another pair of cheering-style shoes that are easier for me to move in while doing hip-hop dancing. I switch back and forth.

These shoes are awesome. I looked and looked for shoes for Zumba - ones that were comfortable and had the circle on the bottom - to twist and turn - these are perfect! I always wear a 7 1/2 and that is what I got in these. They are OK but an 8 might have worked better. Anyway, I love them and get a million compliments on them - the PINK ones!

I bought these shoes for Zumba class. I read another review that recommended this type of footwear to allow for easy rotation movements and to discourage putting a torque on knee joints, something that could cause injury to your knees. I am very happy with this purchase. They are comfortable and they do provide smooth movement on studio/gym floors for dance/aerobic classes! Also, they are real leather uppers. I tried a cheaper pair not knowing that they were "synthetic leather." The non-leather shoes allowed no air circulation and made my feet start sweating. I returned them immediately. Don't waste your money on fake leather ones!

The shoes were purchased for Zumba class which is a Latin cardio dance. It is in a room with a rug and the shoes help me twist and glide without getting caught up on tread. Without the arch support, I had to add "superfeet" insert with a cushion on the toe. Great shoes. Best service from Zappos ever! I can't believe a shipment can get to Helena, Montana from anywhere overnight. Thanks!

I take Zumba classes and was having a lot of trouble with my knees. These shoes are great. You are able to pivot easily. The shoes are flexible, yet have great support. Order 1 size larger then you normally wear in a sneaker.

I was looking for a shoe that would work for my Zumba Classes. I needed support and flexibility. I ordered three different dance sneakers from Zappos and found the Bloch to be the best. It was helpful to read the reviews so that I knew I needed to order one size up. I normally wear a size 10, but ordered 11 and it fits fine, a little snug. So you should order up a size and a half if you want a looser fitting shoe. The Bloch shoe is far superior to the other shoes I had been wearing for Zumba.

 |  | Good Evening. I just have to say WOW! When someone deserves a compliment for going above and beyond, I am happy to say so. I have never written to a company with such praise. But your company is the exception. With the economy, you just expect to pay more and get less. This motto is definitely not how your company operates. I not only received my shipment basically the next day, FREE, it was exactly what was described online. Thank you again and keep up the good work. From, One Happy Customer:-)
P.S. I also love your saying on the box "packaged with happiness" that is great!!! It made me smile.
