Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I usually wear 9.5-10 and got these in a 10.5, which fit perfectly. Truly run a whole size small

Had to order 1 1/2 sizes larger than my typical shoe size. Shoe is very comfortable and offers great arch support.

I am very happy with the shoe now that I have the correct size. I originally ordered 1 1/2 sizes larger than I normally wear based on reviews that I read. But the shoe was still too small so I returned them for an additional half size larger and now they feel great. I also want to give a big thank you to Zappos for making the process of returning the shoes so convenient. I was blown away that I had my correct size shoes the very next day so I didn't have to miss my Latin Dance class. Zappos is absolutely awesome.

These dance sneakers are comfortable and well made. They run very small; going up 1.5 size fit well. Thank you Zappos for excellent customer support!

These aerobic dance shoes are great for Zumba! The smooth soles glide easily over the floor---- none of the gripping action that leads to knee injuries during pivots and direction changes. The shoes are well-made and hold up extremely well. However, they run small. Order one size larger than your street shoe size for a good fit.

Exactly what I was hoping to find for barre and jazz classes. So glad, too, I went with pink instead of black. The color is soft with hints of mauve—as understated as pink can be. If you decide to order, believe all the reviews that warn this shoe runs a full size or as much as a size and a half too small. I usually wear 9.5 and ordered 10.5, which was snug with very thin socks. I thought I might be happier with an 11, but there was little difference in the toe box width or length. The 11 was wider at the heel and mid-foot and slipped on my heels even with the laces secure. I kept the 10.5. I would have liked to wear the shoes with thicker socks, but they are perfectly comfortable with thin socks and perform as I had hoped they would.

These are the fourth pair of Bloch DRT Mesh Sneakers that I have owned. I buy a new pair every year. I use these exclusively for Jazzercise and my feet are never sore. I have tried a lot of different brands, including Ryka, before settling on these. I wear an 8-8.5 show and have to order these in size 10. They have a nice spin place on the soles and the split sole is perfectly comfortable with excellent arch support. With the mesh, my feet are never hot either. My only problem is taking them off after Jazzercise so I don't wear them on the street.

This is my second pair of Bloch mesh sneakers used for dance. Runs small best to get 1 size bigger than your regular size shoe. I only ordered 1/2 size up but wearing thicker socks my toes are snug to the end of the shoe. Once I wore it for awhile it will be good for dance exercise.

These are the absolute BEST shoes for zumba!!!! No contest!!! I'm on my 3rd pair and would not even consider any others!

Wear US size 6.5 shoe - purchase US size 8. Shoe runs size and a half smaller. Once you know this, you can't beat this shoe for dance.

They definitely run small. I wear a size 5-1/2 shoe, and can wear 6 to 6-1/2 sneaker. I had to get this Bloch dance shoe in size 7. The shoe is very good for my dance class.

This is my second time purchasing these shoes which I use for Zumba and other dance aerobics classes. My feet measure a 7 or 7-1/2. The first time I bought a 9-1/2 so I could wear with thicker socks. The shoes were comfortable but I didn't like the tiny bit of extra length. This time I bought a 9 to wear with thin socks. The shoes fit great lengthwise and widthwise.

This dance sneaker is exactly what I need for an upcoming dance performance on a concrete floor. Though many other reviewers have suggested buying this shoe a size larger than your regular street size, Zappos' size recommendation was a 7 - my street shoe size. To be on the safe side (since the performance is soon), I ordered a 7 and an 8. The 7 fit me perfectly, providing excellent arch support and cushioning on the concrete floor at a recent rehearsal. I wear Bloch exclusively for dance shoes, including a split sole jazz shoe and soft ballet shoes. I'm used to snug dance wear so this may not be optimal for most users. I won't be wearing this sneaker with thick socks, either a very thin foot sock or dance tights with feet. I love this dance sneaker and highly recommend it for quality, support and fit.

I ordered 1.5 sizes larger at the advice of a friend who already owned a pair. They were out of black at the time, so I bought pink. I liked them so well, I'm now ordering a black pair. I thought about trying another brand in black, but why mess w/ success? If you do Zumba or line dance, they are terrific, allowing turns w/o torqueing the knee and hip. I do both and can hardly dance w/o them. I highly recommend.

Great shoes. Sporty and comfortable. I had to order a full 2 sizes larger than my typical shoe size!

Love these. Haven’t worn them to class yet, so will Update. Very comfortable. Ordered 1 1/2 sizes larger, but too big. One size larger than normal size perfect.

I really like this shoe but it runs ridiculously small. I usually wear a 9 to 9.5 in street shoes & a 10 in athletic shoes. I’ve tried a 10 & 10.5 so far and they are still too short. Returning for an 11.

I love these shoes, and have been wearing them for Zumba and movement classes for years. They are built for dancing, and are great for pivoting and turning. They offer excellent support and are soft and incredibly comfortable. (They are very similar to the Capezio brand.) I have arthritis in my foot and usually wear Danskos because they have support under the ball of the foot. These shoes offer similar support, but they are very light! I buy a new pair of black ones every year, but this year I decided to try the pink, and I love them. I usually wear an 8 1/2 shoe and a 9 in a workout shoe. I need a 9 1/2 in this shoe.

I wear orthotics for Morton's neuromas and I needed to go up TWO and a half full sizes larger (11.5) than my normal shoe size (9) in order to 1. accommodate the orthotics and 2. provide enough room in the toe box. I didn't WANT to order this huge size, but I was tired of my toes hurting so badly in the older pair of Bloch's that I had purchased before orthotics (10.5). They slip a little because they're so long, but not so much that I can't wear a slightly heavier sock (cotton rather than Smartwool) to correct. I didn't want to give up Zumba and these shoes provide me with the best arch support, cushioning and flexibility to keep moving on the dance floor.

I use this shoe for line dancing. It allows me to smoothly move around on most dance surfaces. As other reviews stated this shoe runs small. I had to go up 2 full sizes before I got the comfortable fit. I wear a size 10 and had to order a size 12. Great color - pink.

I should have ordered up 1.5 sizes. I am a 9.5 and a 10.5 was too short. Have to get a 11!!! And wearing a thin sock.

I like the shoes and have used them for Zumba and folk dancing, but I needed a size two sizes larger than normal.

I wear this shoes for Zumba. I used to have a lot of pain on my heels but with this shoes my problem resolved! The only think is about the size, I wear size 5.5 or 6 depends on what type of shoes but from the reviews people said that this shoes run smaller so is better to order one size bigger. I ordered it 7.5 by mistake that day but at the ends its was a good mistake because it fit me very well!

This product was amazing. At first, I bought a 1 1/2 size larger than my normal size, and it was still a bit too small. I then returned the 1 1/2 size up shoes in exchange for 2 full sizes up from my regular size. These shoes are the best things to ever happen to a dancer. I’m currently taking a dance workshop for a show that I will audition for in the summer requiring intense choreography and movement, and these shoes made it amazing. These shoes can point very well, are way comfier than regular jazz shoes, and have a turn spot that had allowed me to do over 16 fouettés. These shoes are great and I 100% reccomend getting 2 full sized up from your regular size.

I usually take an 11 and ordered a 12 but felt a half size bigger would give my big toes more room. I'm ordering a 12.5 and compare
