Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

These shoes are great! I put them on to see if they fit and didn't take them off the rest of the day! Also great 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.

These shoes are awesome. I looked and looked for shoes for Zumba - ones that were comfortable and had the circle on the bottom - to twist and turn - these are perfect! I always wear a 7 1/2 and that is what I got in these. They are OK but an 8 might have worked better. Anyway, I love them and get a million compliments on them - the PINK ones!

I bought these shoes for Zumba class. I read another review that recommended this type of footwear to allow for easy rotation movements and to discourage putting a torque on knee joints, something that could cause injury to your knees. I am very happy with this purchase. They are comfortable and they do provide smooth movement on studio/gym floors for dance/aerobic classes! Also, they are real leather uppers. I tried a cheaper pair not knowing that they were "synthetic leather." The non-leather shoes allowed no air circulation and made my feet start sweating. I returned them immediately. Don't waste your money on fake leather ones!

Great shoe! Ordered larger size as others recommended and perfect fit. Pink is a bit too pale, but its better than pure black IMHO. Love Zappos!

I take Zumba classes and was having a lot of trouble with my knees. These shoes are great. You are able to pivot easily. The shoes are flexible, yet have great support. Order 1 size larger then you normally wear in a sneaker.

I read the reviews on this shoe and was happy to take their advice. I have been working out with Tracy Anderson Dance Cardio and feel these shoes work perfectly. I have never ordered shoes online, but these fit perfect. I have a wider foot on my left foot because of a bunion, but the width of these shoes worked not irritating it. I did go up from a size 9 to a 10.5 though. I have about a .25 inch of space in the front, but still feel snug because if I went down a size they would be too small.

I am a Zumba instructor, and I have bad knees. I was looking for a shoe that wouldn't stick to the floor with all my twisting motions. I love these shoes. I normally wear 6 1/2 sneakers and ordered the 7 1/2 after reading the other reviews. They fit great. The shoe sizing guide was also helpful.

I purchased these for my Zumba class because I have bad knees and was worried that the sneakers I was wearing would stick to the floor and wrench my knee out of place. I just love these shoes! They\'re stylish, ultra comfortable, and just great for Zumba class because they don\'t stick to the floor like a sneaker would. \r\n\r\nI was a little concerned when ordering because I wear a wide width normally (8 1/2 wide). Nike is known to run narrow, so I ruled that brand out immediately. I ordered a 9 1/2 in the Bloch, which felt a little snug, so I loosened the laces a bit and then it was fine. I\'d recommend these to anybody taking a dance/aerobics/jazzercise-type class.

I bought these shoes for an aunt of mine who hasn't been able to pick them up yet, but I bought the same shoe for myself and, yes, you need 2 full sizes bigger than what you wear in a street shoe. I wore mine while on vacation. Everyone commented how good they looked but the most important is they are super comfortable. I basically use them to dance Zumba type dance.

These shoes are wonderful for zumba dancing! I did need one full size bigger. These made dance class a dream. They are comfortable, and let me easily move around. I definitely recommend this shoe. They are so much better than the running shoes I was using.

I love this shoes. I got them for my Zumba class and they work great! I wear size 8 and I got 9.5 in these because they do run small.

Love these shoes! I purchased them specifically to wear to Zumba classes and they are awesome! I used to wear Nike Shox Cameo, but they caused me to have severe pain on the tops of my feet near my ankles. They were way too stiff no matter how often I wore them, plus they made my feet look like a couple of sleds. Thus, I decided to look into different shoes. The Bloch shoes completely helped with the pain; it's almost completely disappeared! They are comfortable, cute dance shoes that are perfect for Zumba. I do agree with other reviewers 100% about ordering a complete size bigger than you normally wear (I wear a 9 and ordered a 10 and they are perfect), and that they are a tad bit slippery the first few times you wear them. They definitely have a different feel to them than the Nike Shox, yet I by far prefer the Bloch. Give them a try!

I bought thease shoes 1/2 a size larger than my shoe size (5) and they are too big! Ignore what everyone says about getting a size larger; just get your normal size. But apart from that they are brilliant dance shoes.

I recently purchased these shoes to use for Zumba. I have a hard time buying shoes because I need orthotics. I found these shoes to have such excellent arch support that the orthotics are not necessary when wearing these. Also, they slide well and pivot well for Zumba class. I like them so much I am going to order a second pair just in case they stop making them! They run about a size small. I normally wear a 7 and I ordered the 8. Perfect!

I am a Zumba Fitness Instructor and had been looking for a dance shoe that would give me the arch support and the room needed for my pudgy little feet! I have found a perfect dance shoe in the Bloch Boost DRT!!! This is now my favorite Zumba shoe ever... and my feet feel great even after 2 hours of dance!

I bought these shoes for Zumba and they are great! I ordered a full size up as some other people had suggested and they fit great! You can slide and pivot with no problem, there is less pain with your knees and back! Glad I bought them!

I absolutely love these shoes! I bought them to wear to dance class and practice, but now I am using them for dance social events as well because they are so comfortable and easy to dance with. They work very well on a wooden dance floor and are easy to do spins with. They have great support, especially when standing on my toes during certain dance moves. The first time I wore these shoes was at a dance event in Nashville with over 500 dancers. I was surprised to see how many of the other dancers were wearing this same shoe. It is obviously the favorite shoe amongst swing dancers. My dance partner also bought a pair and loves them as well. We do mostly swing dance with some ballroom. For sizing I went a 1/2 size up from my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. Thank you Zappos for such a great product and also for the free shipping and easy return policy!

I wear a 7.5-8 in street shoes, and took a 9.5 in this shoe and it fits well.

Great shoes!!! They are very comfortable and nice looking. I chose them because my dance instructor recommended them, and in fact they are excellent. I also bought the Capezio dance shoes, but had to return them because they were very stiff!! Bloch shoes are soft, inside and out, easy to wear and great for dancing. I bought one size larger than my street shoes, but I guess I could do with just a half-size more instead, they tend to stretch a bit, and over time, they might feel loose, but nothing that two pairs of socks wouldn't fix. Zappos shipping/delivery was exceptional!
