Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I love these however I ordered them one size up but the left foot still didn’t fit ! However they did not have another size available so I ordered a similar pair of Bloch for Zumba ‘ ! The comfort and ease of dancing is amazing ! I feel steady on my dance floor with these Zumba sneakers ! However go one and Half sizes up especially if u want to wear a thin sock with it! They are really awesome as far as comfort! Just make sure you order up in size ! Trust me I wear a size 5.5 always in every sneaker I own ! Tried one size up but it didn’t work so save yourself time and order one and half sizes up for sure! Trust me I have small feet and I found out the hard way !

I love these dance shoes! My knees and my back are no longer in pain after dance class. I followed the size recommendation of going up one size for a ladies size. They fit pretty well. I recommend only wearing them indoors. They don't seem be made for pavement.

This runs very, very small--it is 2 sizes too small.

Based on a previous purchase and current recommendations, I opted to go a full size larger than I normally would, and thank goodness! This feels fine now, though there is still a little pinching sometimes with the tongue/laces (one of the crosses hits the tongue in a weird spot if I don't adjust it). I got these for Jazzercise, which is the same purpose I had them for about 5 years ago. I'll be honest -- I should have remembered the slight feeling of instability when moving laterally. It still happens, which shouldn't be a surprise, since the soles round in at the edges. Sigh. If it wasn't for that, I think they'd be pretty great. They are DEFINITELY a studio shoe, though, FYI. The sole is split, which means do NOT wear them outside, ever. : )

Not completely happy with these as I had hoped to be. I wear a 8 1/2, so I ordered a 10 and too large, just barely. However, I will return without replacing them because there is no cushion in the heel at all. Otherwise, good shoe. Wish they worked.

This is the second pair of these shoes that I have bought. They are not perfect, but they are the best I have found for Zumba. They run about a full size smaller than your regular shoe size and I find the toe box a little narrow. True, my foot is a bit wider than standard B width, though wide width shoes are too wide for me. Finally, I wish there was more padding to cushion the impact of hour-long classes. The support, however, is very good. Unlike some people, I do not find these shoes unattractive and think they are very cute in pink, though both pairs I bought were black.

I admit I didn't quite believe those who said you had to order two sizes up, but I had to return the 8's for 10's. Even tried 9.5. I also tried several other kinds of dance shoes. I wear them for Zumba. I am heavy and have foot problems and many other brands and styles didn't offer the right arch support and/or felt too heavy. These did require a little break in - in fact my classes my feet have to adapt to them for the first 5-10 minutes, but then they are comfortable, offer good support, and provide both traction and maneuverability.

I had several tries at finding a pair of comfortable shoes for Zumba. I have trouble with my feel. As others have noted, you have to go up 2 sizes. Finally found these. There was a bit of breaking in period but they are comfortable and feel solid. I'm glad to find a dance shoe that works for me.

Zappos was excellent in their customer service. As for the shoes, they do run a full size small. They are very comfortable; however, I think they look like orthopedic shoes on, since there is no raised ankle support. They are cushioned on both sides below the ankle, which make it look like an orthopedic shoe. The higher ankle support shoes look better & sportier.

I normally wear a size 8, but I read the reviews and ordered a 9.5. They fit perfectly. The reason I ordered this particular style was because of the comments about Plantar Fasciitis. While these fit well, the heel is hard as a rock and painful without my inserts. If you don't have this problem, you will be very happy with this shoe.

The sneakers are OK, but I needed to a size 13 which was out of stock and ended ordering a size 13.5. They're a bit too big but bearable to dance with. The comfort level is a little flat for me but I purchased several available dance sneakers beforehand and had no success. It was frustrating so these sneakers seem to be the closest for me for now.

I ordered the size 13, as the other reviewers said the shoe ran a size small. Well, for me, it may run 2 sizes too small. The 13 fit like a small size 12. I am ordering the size 14 now. I hope it fits as the shoe appears to be very comfortable.

These shoes have made it much easier to dance. They do run a bit on the small side though.

I was looking for an all black, lightweight, good arch support and I got it! I ordered a 1/2 size larger based upon reviews. I had to return and get a full size larger than I normally wear. All's well that ends well!

I bought this shoe for myself. I ordered a half size larger than my usual size. They were too small for me, so I gave them to my daughter who has a smaller and more narrow foot. She says they are comfortable and she likes them.

I got these in pink for Zumba. I have very wide feet and usually take an 11 W women's dress or 10 medium in men's running shoes. I ended up getting a 14 in the Blochs (thanks Zappos for exchanging). So be really careful and order up!

Love the shoes, pink looks cute, they're comfortable, especially during the jumps of Zumba class. I am a size eight and got size 9.5.

I love the sneaker but wished I had ordered 1 and 1/2 sizes larger than my regular size. Unfortunately they did not have that size. This works but would be better another half size larger.

Runs very small. I wear a 7, ordered an 8. The shoes were very cute, but too short.

I bought this shoe for Zumba class and it really makes a difference. Runs very small though, had to return and order 2 sizes bigger.

Light weight shoes that I thought would be perfect for Zumba but sadly these are not for me. I have a narrow foot so once I got the shoe long enough it was just too wide. I thought I could make it work, but I couldn't get it tight enough to support my foot without cutting off the blood flow. Will pass these to my daughter whose foot is wider than mine. I'm sure she'll love them!

These do run small. I ordered half a size larger than normal because my feet are pretty narrow, but I had to return them. I ordered a full size larger than I normally wear, and they are still on the small side, but I can wear them. I probably should have ordered a size and a half larger.

I love the shoe, but the toe box is very shallow so I had to send it back. There is great cushioning and arch support, great appearance. They do run very small.

I use this for the cardio dance portion of the Tracy Anderson Method along with an insole made for runners. It's very light. Arches can hurt at times if I tie the laces too tight. I use them on carpet, the smooth pivot surface on the sole at the ball of the foot helps on carpet. They're not as silly-looking in person either. I needed 1.5 sizes larger than usual shoe size.

I wear a 9.5 in street shoes and an 11 in these shoes. So I would say order a full size and a half larger than your street shoe size.
