Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

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.

I love to Zumba, but have a lot of problems with my weak ankle. So I ordered 6 pairs of shoes in an effort to find something that would work for me. Normally I wear a 9 wide in street shoes and a 9.5 wide in athletic shoes. I was looking for a wide shoe that would allow me to twist and move smoothly during Zumba without catching my foot and putting stress on my ankles. These are the shoes that I tried and a short review of each: Capezio Web in Black/Pink sz10 - Adorable shoe! It had the slickest soles of all the shoes (which I loved) but was way too narrow for my feet. Length, however, was fine. Ryka Studio D Mid sz10 - I thought this would offer great ankle support, but it looked cheap, felt stiff, and was painfully narrow. Ryka Sync sz10 - I got the silver, which was cute, but looked like it would be hard to keep clean. This shoe was painfully narrow on my feet. Length was fine. Ryka Studio Flex Low sz9.5 - finally, a wider shoe! The 9.5 was the right length, and although the width felt a little tight across the widest part of my foot, I felt it would probably be fine after a little wearing. However, this shoe looked and felt just like the Saucony cross trainer I already wore. I put this shoe on one foot and my cross trainer on the other and really could not tell the difference in sole slickness or general foot flexibility. Bloch Boost DRT Mesh (Pink) sz10 - Loved this shoe! Nice and wide with laces that added a lot of fit flexibility. These shoes glided on the dance floor, and were super flexible and surprisingly supportive; however, they aggravated an old toe injury (arthritic pain) and just didn't work for me. I do recommend them though! Nike Zoom Dance Trainer sz10 - I was so surprised by this shoe. I almost didn't order it because Nikes have always been too narrow for my foot, but this was by far the widest shoe I tried! I will say that every time I put this shoe on, I give a little sigh. It is just that comfortable! The soles are not as slick as the Capezio or Bloch - but much slicker than the Rykas. I have used them for Zumba several times now and am amazed! I attended a 2 hour Zumbathon a few days after I received these shoes and after 2 hours of continual dance and no ankle brace, my feet still felt wonderful! For someone who used to double wrap her ankle and then ice it after an hour of Zumba this was nothing short of a miracle! Length was fine, and these shoes have the added benefit of also being great for weight lifting! For me, they added a lot of stability and balance. I am really happy with these shoes! Also, Zappos processed my returns without incident. I am thrilled with Zappos service, and will definitely use them again!

Been doing Zumba and my ankles were killing me. Tried several different shoes until I found these. These are amazing. The arch support is incredible. No more ankle pain and I want to wear them all the time. They run small. Usually a 6 wide, ordered a 6.5 they were too small, exchanged for a 7 and they fit like a glove. Highly recommend this shoe, especially for ZUMBA!!!!!

Great shoe for Zumba! I have wide feet and I was looking for a good Zumba shoe. This is it! After about two classes, the width stretched out so that it is now super comfortable. I literally could not be any happier with this purchase. I normally wear a 8.5, and I purchased a 9.5, based on the reviews. It fits perfectly! Love them!

Great for Zumba class. Cushy, comfortable and good support. I have gotten lots of compliments.
