Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I bought this dance sneaker for Zumba. My floor surface is low pile carpet. I found the shoe to be light, comfortable and easy to move around in. It is also a very cute shoe. Do buy a full size larger.

I bought these shoes for my Zumba class and absolutely love them. My knees don't bother me any more from the Zumba moves: I can move and turn easily on the hardwood floor, but at the same time they don't slide. I ordered a half size larger as was advised, but my feet are wide so I ended up exchanging for a size and a half larger before they felt comfortable. Exchanging was quick and easy.

These totally took care of my back/hip pain during Zumba. I totally feel like I'm dancing instead of fighting the grip on the bottom of my sneakers. These are worth every penny once you get used to the way they look. They do make my feel look smaller, but like other users, I had to go up 1.5 sizes.

No more sore back, hips or knees after Zumba thanks to my new shoes, they really do help with all those lateral moves and turns. Sizing is pretty accurate could have possibly gone up half a size but I only wear them for an hour a couple of days a week so they are fine.

Now this is how trade would be done in an age of enlightement. With my first order I followed the advice of 'half size larger' but I found I needed a full size larger. The exchange process was done in a blaze and with such care that I was truly giddy...how fun! I had my perfectly fitting dance sneaker the next day. Wow!

Excellent shoes for Zumba Dance! My dance instructor directed me to a dance website and I ordered these shoes for less than Zappos. Catch was once I paid shipping, waited a month to get my shoes, discovered the size ran small and paid to ship the shoes back. I ended up paying much more than Zappos. I was happy to see Zappos carried this shoe, the description recommended ordering a 1/2 size up and I received my shoes in one day! I will always go to Zappos first to order shoes in the future. Zappos rocks!

This is my second pair of the same sneaker. My first one eventually started crumbling because I washed it many times in the washing machine over a 3 year use period. They are so very comfortable and I think look good too, I would recommend them to anyone.

Quality shoe. I normally wear a 6.5, but ordered a 7 based on previous reviews and the shoe is very comfortable. Perhaps those who needed a full size or larger have wider feet than mine.

Nice shape and very soft. I normally wear 7.5, and I got a 8 based on the other's review. Still little too small. I need to get a 8.5 instead.

I bought them locally since I was afraid to order online. I bought one full size over my street size and they fit great. They are a little slick at first but I'm getting used to them. I can't say long term yet but liking so far.

I ordered these to replace an older pair of the same style. Great arch support, but the toes can get a little cramped after a while. The sole is very flexible, so I am still able to get completely up on my foot for turns but still have support for leaps and jumps. Definitely order a half size larger than you normally wear as they do run small.

I am a Zumba instructor, and I teach and take classes at least 8 times a week. From the first class I taught with these on, I was in love! As soon as I got home, I turned on my 'puter and ordered two more pair! From a professional and dancer's view. I love these shoes! As with most Bloch styles, you need to order one full size up from your "street" shoe/sneaker.

Very good for Zumba! Good support and my feet no longer ache afterward. They are a little slippery on the dance floor, not much grip, but that could be just the way the flooring is at my studio. Very good sneak. I would buy it again!

I ordered five pairs of sneakers, sent four back and kept these. I have wide feet, and a bunion, and the mesh upper is great because it stretches over the bunion -- no pain! In addition these sneakers provide excellent arch support. And they're cool looking -- not too sneaker-like.

I had read the review from Flaming June from Georgia and she was right on! I also have a width problem (besides flat feet, multiple surgeries and arthritis). I usually take 9 1/2 wide for all shoes/sneakers, but still have a problem with how they feel. This Block Boost size 10 was just great. With my flat feet the split sole actually felt comforting. I was able to wear them all day in the house and had no aches and pains. I intend to wear them for my Zumba classes, my belly dancing classes, and a wedding on Dec. 10th.

These are the best sneakers for Zumba. I love the arch support and the way they fit like a glove. I ordered 1/2 size bigger since I had heard that they run a little small.

Bloch Boost is a good looking shoe. I felt the division of the sole under my arch, so I am exchanging it. Trust the reviews and order large.

LOVE these! I used to buy Ryka for Jazzercise, but I'm doing Zumba now and saw someone wearing this type of shoe, so thought I'd check out the reviews on them. They are wonderful for quick turns and spins. The Rykas were always very stiff to me. The split heel on the Bloch makes it very easy to pivot. I wear a 7½ in street shoes and ended up with a 9 in these. I could have gone with an 8½ as well, but I liked the little extra length in the toe area with the 9. My right foot is a little larger than my left (still a 7½ but closer to an 8), so that may help others with sizing.

I bought 2 pair. Normally wear a 9.5 in an athletic shoe. In this brand and style I wear 10.5 I have tried several different shoes for zumba, this is the best bar none. Ez to move, slide and flex. Lot of support in heel and ball of foot. Flex in arch. I would walk miles in this shoe. No blisters.

I love these shoes. I use them for Zumba classes and dancing swing, rumba, cha cha etc. when I am wearing pants/jeans. I ordered one whole size larger, and they're just right. Be advised! I was amazed at how quickly they arrived.

These shoes are very comfortable, light-weight and great for Zumba! I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered one whole size larger than I normally wear and they fit perfectly.

These shoes are the best for Zumba. I wouldn't go to a workout without them, so much better than sneakers! They run very small so buy a full size bigger.

I am over 60 and started doing line dancing at my senior citizen center. I needed a shoe that was comfortable, easy to glide over the floor, and still have enough traction to feel safe during slides and spins.\r\n\r\nThis is an extremely comfortable dance shoe, but runs very small. I wear a 7 in other shoes and ordered 7.5. I had to send those back and order an 8. They have great support, look great and just the right amount of traction on the soles. They glide well when dancing, but never feel slippery or unsafe. I carry these with me in a tote bag and only wear them when dancing.

I ordered the same size I got last year- and this is too big and too wide. Bummer.

I love the sneakers, great fit and light feel.
