Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I really love this shoe for Zumba, it feels so comfortable. Based on the reviews I bought 1 whole size up. My street size is 8 so I ordered a 9 which was a perfect fit. However, after 2 sessions of class they stretched because I wear a regular pr of socks with my shoes to help with sweating. So I gave them to my sister and will be ordering a 1/2 size up when they restock them again. This is a great shoe and I can't wait to get my new pair. This is very popular with Zumba and is sold-out at every place I've tried to find them in size 8, 8.5. Remember, any new shoe is going to stretch as you constantly dance, so a whole size up might be too much.

I love my Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Sneaker. The dance sneaker is excellent for anyone who is looking for comfort, support and style. Latin Dance and Zumba are a few of the classes I sport my Bloch shoes. The shoe does run 1 size smaller so order the next size.

I got these shoes for my Zumba class. Had to return twice before I finally got the right size. The size I now have is TWO sizes ABOVE my street-shoe size. They are great to dance in.

My feet are so painful that I often use those electric wheelchairs while shopping. Docs say it’s fibromyalgia in my feet. Nothing helps. I even crawl when at home rather than walk. I had a wild idea that maybe a shoe made for dancers would make using my feet less painful. I was right. This is a blessing. Light, flexible, soft soft thick soles, tension in the arch totally adjustable... this is a blessing. They are great. FYI I wear a women’s 10.5 in a regular shoe, and a 13.5 in this dancing shoe.

I was told that these are the best Zumba sneakers for the class, I ordered them and six others styles. I found the Bloch Mesh to have the support and comfort that I need. The sizing is one size larger than your own. I love my shoes.

I bought these shoes for teaching Zumba and they are great. They don\'t stick like some of the others I tried and still seem to have enough support. They have a great pivot point and are comfortable. I had to order a size larger than I normally wear. I would highly recommend the shoes and Zappos. I ordered 4 different pair\/sizes and they were great about returns!

These feel wonderful!! Just order 1 size larger than you usually would wear.

Since starting Zumba, my boyfriend noticed how much I loved it and wanted a pair of your pink Bloch Mesh Sneaker. He bought it for my birthday! You need to let customers know that they run about 1 to 1.5 small. Other than that....I love them!!

I love these shoes! Yes, you need to order up one size but they are supportive in the arch and have pivot points on the ball of the foot so dancing in these are great. The split sole was unusual at first but wow does it allow for more flexibility in footwork! Even with the split sole, I find that I have great arch support which seems counter intuitive. I will buy this exact shoe as a replacement when I wear out the ones I own. Finally a pink, functional, comfortable shoe! Hooray!

I read a lot of reviews talking about the sizing being a lot different. For my size (6) it was the same size as my athletic shoes, they fit perfect. The arch support wasn't as much as I expected, but it was still very good. The shoes slide perfectly but also have the traction when you need it. they look nice and feel great, even after hours of dancing.

Wow! These shoes are awesome. I was reluctant to pay so much money, but I wasn't sure if the size I ordered would be right (my daughter had a pair for ballet and we had to order a size larger). Originally I got them for Zumba and ballroom practice (I am an avid ballroom dancer). These shoes not only are perfect for dance, but so comfortable. I have barely taken these off except for sleeping. I need to order another pair just to wear every day. I love these shoes!

Purchased these for Zumba so I didn’t feel like I was fighting being stuck to the floor all the time. They definitely work for that purpose. The spin spot sometimes works so well it makes me feel like I stepped on a spin spot on the floor - but it’s not an out of control feeling very often. And, the slickness has worn off or I’ve gotten better control. They did feel a little slick for the first three uses - but now they don’t feel slick - just good. These will likely last a while as Zumba only shoes - but they aren’t meant to be worn around town or even around the house. They are made for dancing - so your feet and leg muscles are engaged. Just standing in them you notice there is nothing in the arch - but in active Zumba use, you don’t notice that. There is enough traction to pop into lunges, etc... and the soles are slick enough to do all the 1-2-3... variety moves with quick steps, spins, etc. It helped my knees feel less stressed and in general I feel more agile in class - and it’s not because I’ve gained any talent! I am an amateur at Zumba (began in January) and the only thing remotely dancing I’d done was line dancing in the 90s. I am not a dancer in any way shape or form. I wear 80% size 6.5 shoes, 10% size 6 and 10% size 7 (mostly for flipflops that don’t have half-sizes). My foot is slightly wide, but not usually wide enough for a Wide shoe. I bought 7, 7.5, and 8 in this shoe. I kept the 7 and I wear thick Thorlos socks with them. A friend that wears 8s, tried on the 8s and said they fit perfectly. Our instructor wears Rykas or Pumas and several of the ladies in class wear Capezios. The instructor doesn’t wear a strict dance shoe like this because she has really flat feet. She owns some dance tennis shoes, but says she wears them if she wants to perform. But she’s light on her feet, so she could probably do Zumba just fine wearing suction cups on her feet!

These are my Zumba shoes and they are perfect for my favorite activity. I ordered two sizes up from my normal street shoe size and they fit very well. Kudos to Zappos customer service, as my first order did not fit properly (my fault, I ordered up one size) and customer service credited my account, sent out the new pair using one day service, all while waiting for my original order to be returned. It just doesn’t get any better! Thanks!

Absolutely fabulous shoes for Zumba. The arch support is exactly what I needed!! Def go up a size- I wear 7 but ordered 8 and they fit perfect!

These sneakers are great! I use them for zumba and they are so much better than regular sneakers. I can turn so easily and the cushioning in the heel and toe box is great! I highly recommend them -- They run a little small so order 1/2 a size larger than you usually wear and you'll be good to go!

I love these shoes! I originally bought some high heel shoes for salsa but found them painful as there is very little padding for the balls of your feet. I bought these shoes in my size 6 even though reviewers recommended buying a size larger. They were snug but as I've continued to wear them, they have stretched out a bit and fit nicely now. They are very comfortable and now making spins across the dance floor is such a breeze. I also realized that these would be great shoes for boxing as they are light, flexible and have a smooth bottom on the toe when pivoting your foot to do a power or hook punch and excellent for jump roping. I am really considering buying a second shoe for that rather than tennis shoes. :)

This is a great dance shoe - light and flexible with great support. I ordered one size larger than I normally wear and it fits perfectly.

Ordered half size up after reading all reviews; they fit perfectly! Received lots of compliments on looks (I bought pink sneaker). Very comfortable and work well for my dance aerobics class and dance practice, as the sole is smooth enough to make pivoting possible, yet are not slippery.

I got these for Zumba, because my regular athletic shoes weren't letting me pivot and dance like I needed. I love them. They are so comfortable; I can really articulate my foot with the split sole in these shoes. I like that I can also go up en pointe with these shoes during a freestyle dance session. They are supposed to be tight, your toes are supposed to be at the very edge of the shoe so you can be en pointe. They will also stretch. I actually got a half size smaller than I usually wear.

I love these shoes! They are the best. Already feel like they are broke in. At first I was reluctant to purchase them because I thought the price was a bit high, but then knowing that there was free shipping both ways (one if I needed to return them) I felt they were justified. After reading all the reviews, I didn’t think I could go wrong. Plus I received them really fast. When I first put them on, I wore them all day, and I purchased them for Zumba classes only. I never wanted to take them off. I will need another pair for wearing all day. I can’t say enough good things about them. I normally wear a size 8 and my feet are not narrow, and I also have bunions, so I ordered one size up as most reviewers said to do, and they fit perfect! One and a half sizes would have been too big. I’m so glad I read the reviews and did not order my regular size. I LOVE them!

These shoes are PERFECT for Zumba....Love em, love em! They are great on everything from hardwood floors to carpet...great arch support too.

Great shoes, I use them for Zumba only. I had knee surgery and just couldn't find any shoes that worked until I found these. They also have great arch support, as I overpronate severely. They are so lightweight and slide easily on wood floors and spinning is a breeze. I ordered a full size up from my street shoes, 1/2 size up from my sneakers. My knees don't hurt after Zumba anymore!!

I had tried on a similar Bloch shoe at a local dance supply, so I knew to order 1.5 sizes larger than my normal size. I wear a 6-6.5 street shoe and ordered this shoe in an 8. With my heavier "walking" socks, they fit fine. I bought them for Zumba because after 5 months using cross trainers, my knees started to hurt. You definitely need correct shoes to be able to slide and pivot in Zumba. This was an excellent investment. I am dancing far better now and getting a better workout. You can’t beat Zappos for service. My shoes were here in 3 days.

These are great shoes for Zumba on a carpeted surface. They are too slippery for a wood or laminate floor. They support my feet well and are very comfortable.
