Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

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!

Wonderful Shoe! Very comfortable - great workout shoe. I do Turbo Jam, Slim in 6 Series, Tony Horton workouts, aerobics, etc and this shoe provides support and comfort in one! I wear a size 6 and had to order a size 8.

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.

WOW - At my age being agile while trying to do aerobic execise takes on new meaning! These are made to order. I ordered up 2 sizes and the fit is perfect. My daugter-in-law is a fitness buff and she was skeptical when she saw the fexibility but endorsed them completely after seeing how they work.

These shoes ROCK!!! I just received these yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to try them out in the gym yet, but they're just SO comfortable and cool lookin'! I teach Les Miles classes at the local gym and these will be GREAT for BodyJam & BodyPump!!! (And DO get 1 1/2 to 2 sizes up.....I normally wear 8 1/2-9 and I ordered 10 1/2 - perfect!!!) Thanks Zappos!

READ THE COMMENTS FROM CUSTOMERS! I love this sneaker....but everyone is correct. I normally wear a 7-1/2 street shoe, and an 8 sneaker. I read the comments and ordered up to a 9-1/2 on this shoe. My toes came to the end of the sneaker, and I knew this would probably cause problems while doing my exercise at Curves. SO I ordered a 10! They are a little long, but that is better than being too short. The shoe looks really neat, and feels great in the arch. I have Morton’s neuroma in both my feet - and I am trying to keep from having surgery, so I have to be very picky about what shoes I can wear. So far, I don't have any pain when wearing this sneaker - so I should be able to do all of my exercise and dance classes using BLOCH. By the way, Zappos ROCKS!

AWESOME DANCE SHOE - Love the shoe for my hip hop dance class--just make sure to order the correct size. I didn't believe all the reviews recommending I order 2 full sizes larger, so I ended up returning them and reordering. I went up a size and a half, from a 4 to a 5 1/2 and it was perfect.

Very, Very Comfy - These sneakers are one of the most comfortable pairs I have ever owned. People have commented to me that there is no arch support, but quite the contrary. Because of the way the soles are, they feel great and I have major issues with my arch. I do wonder how they will feel if I wear them on a day where I am constantly walking all day (like on vacation). It took me two tries to get the right size even after reading the reviews about how small they are. I ended up getting 2 sized bigger than I usually wear.

Fun sneaker - After several attempts at getting the right size, finally found a pair for each of my teenage daughters. They LOVE them! One daughter was a dancer and had experience with them. Both girls find they are very, very comfortable and have great support during the day at school. Just be aware that the sizing is way off - you need to order a size and a half larger than what you would normally wear.

Awesome aerobic shoe! I bought this shoe after reading comments about the great arch support (which I need). I use them for Kick Boxing and Boot Camp. I'm definitely not an athlete (or dancer) but these shoes are awesome. I had to order 2 sizes larger than I normally would. There is also a lot of cushion in the ball and heel. They are all around good shoes.

Very comfy exercise shoe - I love this shoe--I tried the Capezio Groove and Capezio Tekno-Lo and this shoe was by far more comfortable to me. I wear a 10 and the 11.5 fit just right--maybe just a tad short still. But very comfortable! I love this shoe and use it for dance-style exercise DVDs.

I love this shoe!! Being a hip-hop dancer I'm truly pleased with this shoe. It has great support and comfort. The sole is great too! One thing is true, I’m usually a size 8 and I had to order a size 9 but they feel great. They're so comfortable that I started walking out of the dance studio with them still on, it took me a little while till I noticed them! I completely recommend it!

Bloch Boost - I absolutely love my little pink shoes which I wear to the gym for hip hop and jazzercise classes. BUT, take everyone's advice and order a size and a half up. This shoe is wonderfully comfortable but the manufacturer is way off on the sizing. I went through two sizes before getting one which fit. I usually wear a 7 and half and ended up finally with size 9!! Have never worn a 9 in my life except for this shoe. Love Zappos!!!

Great shoe, except! Love the shoes, but please pay attention! I bought them two sizes larger than usual and they are still to short. Probably could have used another half size. They have solved my heel pain and the pain in ball of the foot, just now the toes hurt. Would definitely buy again.

Great for Aerobic dance especially if you have a high arch - Arch supports hits the middle of your arch, not at the front like some other dance shoes. I had to buy a size and a half larger than street shoe size. Great support and flexibility.

Very comfortable - I bought these for aerobic workouts and find them to be very flexible but yet they have great arch support. I am enjoying them immensely.

Great Dance Shoe - I actually had to order a full size and half larger than my normal shoe size to ensure fit. The shoes were very comfortable. It was very easy to get use to when I wore it the very first day at dance. If you’ve never purchased a shoe for JAZZ dance, try this one as a first.

Great shoes! This is a great exercise shoe if you are taking any type of dance exercise classes. I normally wear women’s 10 but had to order a 12 because they run so small. They're very comfortable and aren't as heavy as other sneakers.

Great Dancing Shoes - I am a Salsa Dancer with background on Ballet and Jazz. I love these shoes; unfortunately I ordered a size too small for me. As mentioned in other reviews, you need 1 or 1 1/2 size larger of what you usually wear to have a comfortable fit. The spins with these shoes are effortless. If you find a pair that fit you will not be disappointed.

These dance shoes are the best! Originally we bought these shoes for color guard but I wear them all the time because they are so comfortable. I love them!

Dance sneaker for a newbie - It took 3 tries, but I finally have the right size. I normally wear size 7-7.5 shoes, depending on style, but I had to get an 8.5 Bloch so that my big toe wasn't rubbing during my NY city ballet workout. There’s good news & bad news: My knees don't hurt during the jumps as much, but I was sorer the next day, because I guess I was able to push myself more during class.

Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Sneaker - I NEEDED 1 1/2 SIZE LARGER THAN STREET SHOE SIZE!!! GREAT shoe! I go directly from dance classes to work in these shoes - I'm a nurse and am on my feet all day long - without breaking a sweat! I'm old, I have high arches, and I ride a motorcycle every day; these shoes accommodate me in every aspect. They're light, sturdy, comfortable, and I get compliments on them everywhere I wear them - which is EVERYwhere! As for dance, I use them for ballet practice, jazz, and I even practice tap steps in them. I'm ordering 2 more pairs as we speak! And thank you Zappos for superior customer and shipping service. This is a 5 star product, offered by a 5 star vendor.
