I am really happy with these shoes. I bought them for teaching Zumba. My dance background is in ballroom, and I love that I can dance actual Latin techniques in these shoes. They do run small. I have very small feet (wmn\'s size 4B). I wear a 3.5 in Nike kids tennis shoes. I bought Bloch\'s in a size 5, and I still could have gone 1/2 size bigger I think. I\'ve been wearing thinner socks with them and they are increasingly comfortable as I break them in, like they are forming to my foot. I have a lot of past injuries and was worried about not having enough support in these, but I am feeling just fine teaching 2 nights per week in them.

I wear a 7, ordered an 8. Because of the way they were laced upon arrival, I thought they were still too small. After adjusting the laces, they're just right. I wore them to Zumba yesterday and noticed a difference right away, much easier to move around with the Blochs. The split sole will take some getting used to, but so far I really enjoy the flex. Wish I had ordered pink instead of black, but oh well. Thanks, Zappos, for your great customer support. You always score five stars with me!

These are dance shoes, true to size. If you\'re used to wearing dance shoes, buy your regular dance shoe size. The shoes are constructed so that dancers can go en pointe wearing them, so they should be snug. I followed online advice and ordered up, and the shoes were way too big. I bought them for zumba, not for ballet, and they were uncomfortably large. They\'re even too big to walk around in. Remember, they\'re not designed to be street shoes.

I bought this shoe on the recommendation of a friend and the reviews. It is a great shoe. I bought the pair 1/2 size bigger than my normal "loose" size and they fit fine. Very glad that I bought them although I was told that I spent too much. But with free shipping both ways and not knowing how they were going to work for me, I needed the option of returning them.

I love these shoes. They are true to size (I wear a 6.5 or 7 depending on the shoe, and these 7's were perfect). There is enough room as well for enlarged toe joints! They are great for Zumba and Salsa, and other Latin dances, as well as Disco, and provide for easy turns. I would not recommend them for "On the Ball" or Muscle Mix classes as there is not enough traction provided. Dance sneakers do not provide arch support like a cross trainer or running shoe. The look of the shoe is also wonderful; allows for easy pointing of the feet, and they are also comfortable if worn as a street shoe. I recommended them highly! The service from Zappos, second to none. It is superb.

Very satisfied with these shoes. I'm taking Zumba classes and the shoes are perfect for it. The only thing, here's a trick, they come in 1-2 sizes smaller then advertised. I wear size 8, so I returned the pair in that size and bought another one, size 9. I heard from my friends, they had exactly same situation with this shoes. But size 9 worked! Just have to know.

This is my 2nd pair of Bloch's & can't be beat for dance class (especially Marley floors). Go at least a 1/2 size up when you order.

This sneaker is great for Zumba. It's comfortable and easy to move in. I ordered a full size larger than I normally wear and they were perfect! Once again the service from Zappos didn't disappoint. These sneakers were at my door within 24 hours! You're the best.

I love my Blochs! With them and a tip from a dance teacher who reminded me to keep my knees, when bent, pointed over my middle toes, I no longer have knee pain after Zumba class. \r\n\r\nI wasn\'t sure what size to order, so called Zappos for more info. The woman I spoke with suggested a 10 1/2, which fit perfectly. I normally wear a 9 and have a widish foot (with bunions).

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.

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!

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.

The shoes fit very well. I ordered a half size larger than for regular shoes and that was the correct size. I use them for Israeli dancing and they are comfortable even after 4 hours of dancing

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 love these shoes for zumba! My regular sneakers would grip the floor, but these are great for turns. I ordered a size larger since I have wide feet and they fit great.

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.
