Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

AWESOME! Finally a shoe that flexes well and has a thick platform! Just what I need for plantar fasciitis! I am a STEP instructor and these are so nice.

These are great for Zumba and Tai Chi, since the sole pivots so well. This brand runs really small, so I ordered 1.5 sizes bigger, which was fine, It's a shame these shoes don't come in a wide width.

I bought these dance sneakers for tai chi class. They fit like a glove and yes I got a size bigger than my usual. Great arch support, lightweight, kept my feet cool.

I bought these sneakers for line-dancing as I was feeling some soreness in my feet. They are great and super light and comfortable. Just order at least one size larger as they run very small.

These are the best sneakers to wear while performing with our dance troope - Spoke n Motion Dance. Many of us wear them. The prices here on Zappos was the best found anywhere. Thanks Zappos for getting them to me in time to break them in and wear them in our upcoming performances here in Denver, Colorado.

I like these shoes a lot. I had been struggling in Zumba because my shoes stuck to the floor, but these are great for pivoting and sliding. Good arch support, and shock absorbing. Based on reviews that the shoes run quite small, I originally ordered a full size up, but those were too big so I returned them and just got a half size larger. My feet are skinny and flat, so for 'fuller figured' feet you might still want to order larger. I love Zappos, it is one thing to offer free shipping, but free returns? I never would have tried these shoes if it hadn't been for the free returns, especially since there was so much uncertainty about the sizing.

I am an Oula instructor which is an intense, cardio dance workout. I dance six days a week, sometimes twice a day. I had a terrible time finding the right shoes to dance in. I tried several different styles of each of the following brands: Nike, Brooks, Pearl Izumi, and Asics. All of these shoes were nearly twice the price of the Blochs, but they did not provide enough support, have the right toe box and did not support the movements you do in a high cardio dance class. I tried these shoes a year ago, and they are the only shoes that I dance in now. They have great lateral support for ballistic side to side movement. The spin spot is sweet for turns and is so easy on the knees. They are light weight and still have lots of support for the balls of your feet, the tips of your toes and your heels. They slide across the floor with ease during sinewy movements and stand up to the ballistic, explosive movements in our highest cardio songs. Because of the split sole, pointing your toes is easy. These are exclusively dance shoes. They are terrible to wear on cardio equipment or even to walk around in. But when I put them on my feet to dance, my feet are happy. These run really small! I wear an 8 and order a 9½ in the Blochs. Style is bummer. I wish they came in more colors. Many people will be curious because they look different, but few people gush about how cute they are.

This shoe is super comfortable! No break-in time necessary. It does run small. I usually wear a 9 wide and needed a 10-1/2 in this shoe. Because of other reviews warning of the small fit, and Zappos great refund policy, I ordered 3 pairs of shoes and returned the 2 pairs that didn't fit.

This shoe is well made and gives me the support I need, which I did not have in another brand shoe I was wearing. One warning, they run real small and not true to size. I typically wear an 8.5, and had to buy a 10.5 to fit me.

I love these sneakers. They are light, supportive and flexible. They are my second pair.I wore the first one until the soles cracked. Actually bought a 12 whenI wear a 10.5 street shoe.

I really like these shoes. I ordered them for my zumba classed and they make all the difference to my knees. I highly recommend them.

Great shoes, comfy, I usually wear a 8.5 -9 and a size 10 fit perfectly . Danced all day the first time I wore them. Recommend 5 stars for a 1st dance sneaker.

Thanks for your speedy delivery. I received just exactly what I ordered and very happy.

Great Bloch shoes, very comfortable, they entice to movement. So light, but good support. Speedy and friendly service by Zappos: superb.

I love my new pink dancing shoes...they are really not sized correctly. I went a full size more and could have done another 1/2 size. Next time. Very comfortable and they do have enough of a sole to slide when needed.

These run really small; I take an 8 shoe and use a 9 for cross training and zumba so I have a bit of room when jumping and sliding, per a professional fitter. I ordered the 9 in these and they are too small.

At last fabulous customer service! Your company not only has great service...you also help our economy by keeping your staff in the United States. It would be even more fabulous if your shoes were manufactured in the United States. I enjoyed speaking with your employees when ordering my shoes. The return process for returning my shoes was simple and it was even better that I did not have to pay for shipping! I was not sure how to answer the questions below...so I will write my answer here....I normally wear a size 10 or 11 depending on the style. I have a wide foot. I ended up keeping the size 12 dance shoe as that one fit me the best. I would have liked if it would have been a wide instead of medium width but your company did not have the wide width.

I saw these shoes at the Goodwill, they looked funny, but usually those are the expensive ones. I noticed the comfort of the bend in the center, and right away I wanted to try them on because I have a high arch, I didn't even look at the size. I wear an 81/2 but I usually get a 9 in gym shoes because my feet tend to swell after doing exercise, well for 12.99 I tried them on anyway, and I compared them to the reebok easy tones, I immediately chose the bloch mesh sneaker because there really was no comparison. Only thing, if you're going to purchase these shoes I have to be honest, as I was looking on the inside of the shoe I noticed the size, it was a 10, and as I stated earlier I normally wear a 8 1/2 and 9 for comfort so you may want to go up a size because the 10 fits me perfect.

I was looking for a comfortable shoe for Jazzercise so I bought both this shoe in pink and a pair of Ryka Devotion shoes. I tired the Bloch first and wow, I really liked the way they felt! I felt like my weight was better balanced and they are great on carpet as well as wood floors. They are really nice looking! Got lots of compliments on them. I feel like this shoe feels better to me than the Ryka pair. Also the tread on the shoe is less so it makes it easier to move. The Rykas have a heavier tread and they don't glide on the carpet. I am for sure keeping this Bloch pair for class. I just love them!

Love these shoes! I had lots of hip and knee pain on and off after my Zumba classes. I was wearing cross-trainers, which were actually pretty non-abrasive and were very light. I prefer the lighter the better, especially for dance faintness with all the jumps and leg lifting! The split-sole of these really gives additional arch support! That helped my leg pain immediately! I also notice much less strain on my knees when jumping and turning, thanks to the awesome pivot-point on the bottom of the shoe. They're actually very light as well! I definitely recommend these for any dance-fitness! Heck, I wish they looked more like regular tennis shoes, I want to wear them every day sometimes they're so comfy!

I bought these for a Zumba class and they are much better than regular sneaker. You have the ability to turn smoother and the cushioning is much better, my knees thanked me! But you do have to buy one size up from your shoe size. You get an extra pair of laces, would have been nice if they were a fun color. Fair price, quick delivery!

Ordered these for Zumba. Love them, I have wide feet and they're comfy. I normally wear 7 1/2, ordered an 8 and perfect fit.

These dance sneakers rock! I ordered Capezio Rockit first that were very nice but were cut low and didn't fit my foot as well - back they went. I wear a 8.5D Usually when I purchase a shoe in Medium width I order a 9. This shoe isn't offered in wide width so I ordered a 9.5 The fit is good, great arch support and flexibility. Sturdy support throughout but lightweight. Mesh is strong but gives somewhat, and is cool. Lace-up is fast. Zumba is even more fun wearing these shoes. I feel like I can do anything.

So incredibly comfortably I'm wearing them around the house. Better yet, they're cute. It's more than the color, it's a nice form factor. Not too bulky like some sports shoes, trim and super light yet with excellent arch support. I want another pair! Without socks I'm almost always a size 9, but these run small so I bought the size 10.
