Super duper!!!
I use these shoes for my Irish dancing and they are excellent! They required no breaking in, and I can wear them for hours with no sore feet! For being dance sneakers, they are pretty nice looking as well. Order them a FULL size larger! That is the way they are made to fit!

Great shoes but run very small -
I ordered a half size bigger and these shoes become uncomfortably small after about an hour. Recommend you order 1 full size larger than regular shoe size or at least 1/2 size larger than athletic/running shoes.

Comfort and Joy!
One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Great price. The only thing I would warn others is that I ordered 1-1/2 size LARGER than I normally wear (I wear size 7 but a 8-1/2 in these)--and glad I did because these shoes definitely run too small.

My daughter is in love with these jazz sneakers! The only problem is they do run very small! We are on our third order of them. My daughter wears a 4 and we have had to order a 6 1/2. Zappos was incredible accommodating. They price matched and had super fast shipping! I highly recommend using them.

Great dance shoe -
I have tried a number of shoes, and find this particular style the best for doing turns and spins on a wooden dance floor.

Bloch's Mesh Sneaker -
I bought these shoes for my Granddaughter for her Jazz class as she "had" to have them. We are both very pleased with the shoe and she seems to think that by wearing them she is a better dancer. Maybe so..They are great for comfort and looks and we are pleased for finding this site and will use it again. We read the reviews and they were very helpful in ordering her size.
Thank you

Excellent service -
I miscalculated my size and found the exchange process very easy. Got the shoes far sooner than was estimated, and, actually, I have them on right now. I highly recommend both the shoe and internet shoe shopping - which I wouldn't have predicted!

But do they...
I really like the bloch dance sneakers in all aspects and having saved up for them for two years finally bought a pair. But due to my situation they have become exceedingly dirty. Apart from that I have no complaints--best dance shoes you can get.

Pink shoes!!!
These are the best dance sneakers that I have ever danced in!!! They are stylish, confortable, and they provide tons of support. I can go from jazz to hip-hop without changing shoes!

New user -
I ran into the Bloch Sneaker while looking for a tap shoe. Not only was I attracted by the "look", but the fit was exceptional. The first day wearing them I got more comments and people wanting to know where I got them. Its the first shoe my son (age 21) has truly been impressed with, and at my age (52), its great to find a stylish and comfortable sneaker. I haven't taken them dancing yet, but I love the fact that they are sooo flexible. I'd recommend them to anyone, especially people who are active and need additional arch support.

Poor SupportGreat Support
After reading all the reviews, I decided to buy Bloch sneakers a size and a half larger… a 10.5. They were actually too big. When I reordered just one size larger, they fit perfectly on my size 9 feet. The only problem for me was the laces interfere with bumps that I have on the tops of my feet, which is not the sneaker's fault. I will keep them as they are otherwise really comfortable, flexible and have great arch support. They also look less like a clunky sneaker than most do.

I've never worn this size before-
After three attempts (your customer service is awesome) I finally got the shoe in the right fit. I normally wear a 7 but the Bloch didn't fit until I got an 8 1/2! Still, it was worth it. I wore to low impact class today and they were awesome.

Size up -
I am technically a size 7 shoe and I have a slightly wider foot. So I ordered a 7 1/2 and they sort of squeeze my toes on top. So I wish I would have ordered an 8. I really like the shoe and do wear them quite frequently. I even like wearing them as casual shoes. But next time I will order a half size up.

I got a full size larger than my normal shoe size, and that was the right size. These are very comfortable dance sneakers with the split sole, and comfortable just to walk in.

Suitable for wide feet -
I've never had this type of shoe before, and was disappointed (but not too surprised) that they don't come in widths. I ordered one Bloch and one Leo's. The Leo's didn't work at all, but the Bloch is great! The expandable mesh gives the forefoot plenty of room--but make sure you order AT LEAST a full size larger. I ordered 1 1/2 sizes up and am glad I did!! They fit very snugly around my high arches. Love the red color; maybe I'll go for the pink someday. . .

Flexibility and Support -
I really like these shoes. They are flexible enough to wear while doing ballet exercises, yet they give good support, and they are nicely cushioned. They look pretty cool, too.

Bloch's boost drt mesh sneaker -
When I first had these shoes about 2 years ago I was over the moon. Not only were they stylish but they were comfortable and colourful. I'm getting a bit fed up of dansneakers now and are going to by a pair of lighter jazz shoes which i find easier to dance in. But everyone is intialled to their own opinion.

I have seen these sneakers on Zumba instructors. They move well in them and they look so comfy. I wear a 9 1/2 shoe, but normally a 10 1/2 sneaker in Ryka, Nike, etc. I ordered a 10 1/2 and an 11 in the Bloch Boost DRT sneakers, they were both too short and pressing on my toes. I was very disappointed in the fit. Not as comfy as I expected. They are very light weight and because there is no hard sold under the arch, they are able to bend in half. I feel this is not the sneaker for me. You would think that one of them would have been the right size for me. I also have a narrow foot, width was not a problem as you can lace them to your liking.

After reading the reviews I decided to get a pair for Zumba class. I need something with good support because my knees hurt quite often after exercise. Although these shoes may be great for some people, they just didn't work for me. Felt very uncomfortable.

Shoe does not have enough stability for any type of dance aerobics. The soles are very slippery on hardwood floors.

Wonderful service from Zappos, as always.
However, this is a tiny shoe; one and a half size smaller than marked.

Listen to what everyone else is saying about the sizing. I normally wear a 6 1/2-7 so ordered an 8.5 and it's still really a 1/2 size too small. I have a very high instep and the laces on these shoes hit right at the top of my foot which is uncomfortable. Also, I wear an orthotic and these shoes do no accommodate it well at all. I will be returning them.

Apparently Bloch has ZERO QUALITY CONTROL!! I read in reviews that these sneakers ran small, so I ordered up by 1.5 sizes and they're STILL at least a whole size too small!! What is going on here? I wear a size 10 in most shoes, and a 9.5 in some brands like Vionixx. I ordered these in an 11.5 and they're so small they hurt! I am extremely disappointed. I've had my last pair of Bloch dance sneakers for about 8 years. They wore very well and I felt like I got my money's worth, which is why I elected to order them again, but if this is the best they can do I'll be switching back to Capezio.

I ordered 8.5, the same size as my last pair. The left side fit perfectly. The right side is squeezing my big toe. I will take it to have it stretched out a bit. I am a bit disappointed since my last pair was perfect. I wonder if my right foot grew
