Best dance sneaker ever!
I adore this shoe. It is comfortable for dancing and walking around on the street. The pivot point is especially helpful for Argentine Tango. I believe the customer service is the best, too! Friendly and helpful, and even sent me a thank you card. How many places do that, and offer overnight shipping free? I ordered this shoe 1 and a 1/2 times larger, though, and it fit perfectly.

Old Feet -
These sneakers are the best I have found for years of Irish dance that I have put in feet they give great support in all areas of the foot and help keep me pain free. Your service was so efficient I couldn't believe how soon they were delivered.

Comfort to the Max!
I have several serious foot problems and was having trouble finding something to wear for Latin dance lessons. For me, this dance sneaker is the answer. It gives me great support and control, but is soft, flexible, and ultra comfortable. Sweet!
Several web sites suggested that one should order a size 1-1/2 times larger than street shoe size. I did that, and it fits beautifully, in spite of my narrow foot.

They saved my knees -
I love, love, love these shoes. I could totally feel a difference in my knees within two weeks of using them in dance class.
Although I read the other reviews about ordering these shoes a size up, I recently lost 20 pounds and half a shoe size so thought I'd stick with my old size (8). I was tired of slipping around in my regular athletic shoes on the dance/exercise floor so I wanted a snug fit. I probably could have gone up the full size as recommended. There are so many ways to lace these shoes for a custom fit, and a half size bigger would have left more room to experiment with sock and insert options. As it is, I have to wear the thinnest socks, and they aren't exactly what you'd call "moisture-wicking." But I will wear these shoes until they're broken. They look fabulous, and as long as we're not focused on salsa moves (lots of toe work), they work just fine.

Love This Shoe!!!!
This shoe is the best dance shoe I have ever owned! (And believe me I have owned a ton!!) I have been dancing for fifteen years and have never owned or seen such a comfortable, fashionable and easy dance in shoe. I love it! I wish I could tell the whole world about this shoe. The only problem is that it seemed a half size too small for my foot. So I recommend ordering it in a half size larger.

"Must-Have" for dancers of all levels!!
I attended dance camp last month and was on my feet for at least 40 hours in four days. If it had not been for these shoes, it could have been a miserable (for my feet only) experience. As it were, my feet never felt so good while dancing so much, and I have danced/cheered/aerobicized for years!!

SupaDance for performance; Capezios for practice as well

Sizing -
I love the look of the shoe; however, the sizing that is marked on the site needs to warn future buyers that they are 1/2 to 1 size smaller than other shoes. I usually buy a 6, so read another review about the size so I bought a 6 1/2...They fit fine when I put them on in the house as the letter stated to do; however, after wearing them throughout the day, the foot swells and I could not take the pain.

I would recommend these only if they got the sizing right.

Bloch's Boost Sneaker -
I like this sneaker very much for exercise and dance aerobics. I like the colors, pink and blue, for appearance. The sneaker is very comfortable and the sole and heel are excellent for dance moves. There was no break in period. I would recommend that you advise buyers to buy a full size larger than their normal shoe size. I knew this beforehand because I previously bought the sneaker from Capezio and the web site includes this information.

Zumba Superstars!
This shoe is at the same time lightweight, flexible and supportive. I wear it for Zumba, an exercise class with a Latin dance music theme. These shoes let me salsa, soca and mambo with ease all the while giving me very solid support for my extra-large, rhythm challenged body.

A great shoe!!
I had been having trouble with posterior shin splints during my Irish Dance classes, but this shoe's excellent arch support fixed that the first time I wore them to class! Woohoo!

Beautiful and comfortable shoes!
I bought these shoes for my daughter; I got her the pink pair that she loves so much! It's perfect for her active school activities that include much in Dancing. I have the hard time finding the right shoes for her and now I found it at Zappos! I thank God for your company, my daughter loves it!

Bloch Boost DRT -
These shoes are great! I just started taking dance exercise classes. In one class, everyone had to take their shoes off, but I got to keep mine on because they're dance shoes. I normally wear a size 6 but ordered an 8. They fit fine in the length but are a bit tight on the width. They are so cute. I bought them in the pink, such a feminine shoe.

Great shoe!
Wow, what a jazzy shoe! This is remarkably stylish and amazingly comfortable. It's made to be a dance shoe, but the snug arch support makes it great for a work shoe. It runs extremely small, I wear a 10 and the 11 1/2 fits perfectly. I would not have known this without reading the reviews, though. The pink suede is very pretty...every day I get compliments on them. I'm buying them in the black, now, too.

Generally good shoes -
Very comfortable to dance with, but needs to get used to.
These black shoes were a bit narrower than the blue (navy) ones which were amazing.

GREAT DANCE SHOE -
This shoe is Awesome for Dance or Hip hop. It is light weight and comfortable. I did have to order a larger size. I wear an 8 1/2 and ordered a 10 1/2. I was a little nervous about the size but they are perfect. Only thing was, they did not have the color I wanted. I will buy again hopefully in the color I want.

Perfect Jazz Shoes -
Perfect jazz shoes - comfortable and cute. These fit snug and afford great flexibility. I had to order a 10.5 (I usually wear an 8.5) - so definitely go up 2 sizes. I have various foot/ankle (bone and joint) challenges and have had surgeries (and more on the way) - I wear orthotics, can't walk barefoot or wear heels, etc. - so these were the perfect solution when I began taking jazz classes. Although I can't fit the orthotics inside them, they give wonderful support on their own - especially in the arch. They protect my feet and I can still keep up with the rest of the class. Now if only they could give me good coordination...

These are GREAT shoes!
I was afraid to order shoes online, fearing that they wouldn't fit properly, and the frustration to return them. After hearing about these shoes and this website, I ordered. I wear a size 9 and ordered a 10 and they fit PERFECTLY! I have a slightly narrow foot. These work great for the new Groove exercise class that I am taking. They give me enough support and traction, but not too much.

Bloch review -
I love the support of this shoe. I have bad arches and they really help. I ordered two pairs because of sizing differentia; I am going to keep them both. One for street wear and one for working out. The smaller size I will wear for working out because they are a little snugger.

I love this shoe!
Soo comfortable. I only wish I had found them years ago. I thought dance shoes had to hurt. I think these will help my Tango. I normally wear 7 1/2 to 8 and 9 1/2 fit me perfectly in this shoe. Thanks Zappos-shipping could not have been faster!

A well needed shoe to help me continue dancing -
For me dancing is apart of my life and when I found that I needed a lot more arch support for me to keep on dancing. I am very happy with these shoes but it has taken a while to get use to having a different style of shoe. All and all I love them and have never had second thoughts about buying them.

PERFECT practice shoe!
My husband and I took a three day Argentine Tango workshop. I have a hard to fit foot (tends to be thin in depth, medium in width) and had lined my not-very-good-fitting ballroom dance shoes with moleskin padding on the straps and the ball of foot. After the first day, my feet felt like they were on fire. I figured I needed to get some practice shoes with forefoot cushioning. I noticed that one of our instructors as well as one of the dancers had this shoe, and decided to order some myself.
After reading all the reviews that mentioned going up a size and a half or two sizes, I ordered a size 9. I wear a 7.5 in dress shoes and ballroom shoes, and a 7 in more casual shoes. The 9 fits like a dream - the adjustable lacing system lets me get a good fit widthwise, too. These are awesome - the pivot point lets me do back and front crosses, voleos and ganchos with ease. I only wish I had these shoes prior to the workshop - I could have learned so much more if I had focused my energy on technique rather than fighting the pain.
