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.

My first order with Zappos, tap shoes. I ordered my regular size, 7.5. They came, they were so tight, I couldn't walk. I called CS, they sent out the next size and I received them the next day. They also were too tight, and although they hesitated about another return, they accommodated me, and size 8s came the next day, perfect fit. The CS at Zappos is the best I've run across. Don't hesitate to use them. I'm a happy 67 year old grandmother, tapping away at my over 55+ development here in Monroe, NJ.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bloch's Tap-On -
These shoes are great! I'm spending a fair amount of time in them (probably two hours a day, 5-6 days a week) and find them to be comfortable and flexible, yet sturdy. They're also lighter than I'd expected. Plus, the sound is very good. I have a naturally wide foot and probably would have gotten a wider size, if offered, but I'm finding that the shoes are breaking in well, so after three weeks, they're very comfortable. Thank you again, Zappos! I wouldn't have bought these shoes elsewhere.

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.

Awesome -
We have no dance stores close by where we live. I was amazed at the sizable selection of dance shoes you offer - my daughter loves these shoes. They are beautifully made and leather!
Price was right for that as well.
Our initial order was for size 8 1/2 - we had a size 8 1/2 and a size 9 in the box.
(Never happened before!)
We called and then ordered the size 9's for a better fit.
In the second shipment we received a size 8 1/2 and size 9 shoe - to perfectly match the pairs in the correct sizes- and we sent the 8 1/2's back.
Thanks for hassle free shopping!

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.

These were comfortable from the get go, and make you feel (and look) like a real tapper even if you are only a beginner. They make a great sound.

Good beginning tap shoe -
ORDER A FULL SIZE LARGER! These shoes were slightly uncomfortable at first, but after about an hour of wear they softened up and now I'm very glad I purchased them. I bought them to replace a pair of Leo's tap shoes that I bought from a local dance store. The Leo's taps scratched the dance floor (there wasn't a screw loose or anything). These shoes have been great... no scratching the floor or blisters on my feet.

Good shoes!
These shoes run about 1 size larger than normal US street shoe size. (many dancing shoes have different sizing from street shoes). The overall fit is very good, the leather is soft. The insole is cushioned which makes them quite comfortable and the strap is very long to acommodate a high instep.

These are nicely made. But make sure to order at least a full size larger than your street size. I had to order a size and half larger. Thank God for Zappos' free return policy!

 |  | Thank you very much... I just went to the door and there were my beautiful new blue slides. I can't believe I received them less than 24 hours after I ordered them. Service, service, service. Your people know what is the most important thing to do to bring customers back time after time after time. You can have an excellent product, but if the customer doesn't feel important, it makes no difference what one is selling. Too bad more people in the business world don't apply
