I normally wear a 10 or 10 1/2 dress shoe, and size 11 in athletic sneakers. The size 12 in Bloch sneakers fits perfect. I teach Zumba, and these are my preferred shoes. And, of course, you can't beat Zappos' service.

This is my third pair of these shoes. I have been wearing the Bloch Boost Mesh Sneaker style for more than 10 years. I love the flexible arch, and that I have full of range of motion in these shoes including mobility in my ankles. I am not a dancer. I wear these as regular shoes in informal settings (including where I work). I like that they are lightweight, and I have found no difficulty with them in the rain. They generally last about 3-4 years of regular wear. They are not hiking or long-distance shoes, but they will hold up for regular about city walking on concrete.

I've worn these shoes all 4 yrs that I have taught Zumba. LOVE THEM. Have recommended them to all my classes and many friends who are on their feet...fitness coaches, teachers, etc. Just make sure you order 1-1 1/2 size larger due to foreign sizing. Good support & flexibility. Would LOVE other colors!

These are great shoe for line dancing! They provide excellent support and cushioning in the heel. The laces support your arch and my heel spurs do not hurt even after two hours of dancing!

Love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes were the answer to my being able to start up Zumba again. The arch support is great and the shoes extremely comfortable. Order one whole size larger, as they run extremely small.

I am on my second pair of Block Boost DRT Mesh sneakers. I am 67 and find these to have enough support and flexibility. Many of my peers complain about their knees and shins. I also have very narrow feet and they can be laced snugly. Pay attention to the sizing. I buy a full size larger than I normally wear.

They run at least one size smaller but are the best for zumba classes. I tried another brand that looked the same but found that they were a lot less supportive.

Ordering from Zappos is a pleasure. I knew that the shoe is 1/2 size smaller is that I bought my usual size and it was a bit too small. Returning them free of charge and receiving the replacement was very easy and quick. I had my new shoes on the third day after contacting Zappos.

I've been having trouble with pain in my ankles and knees during my zumba class. A fellow classmate told me she had the same problem until she bought the Bloch dance shoes and suggested that they might help me. Well, they certainly did and I'm now enjoying my class again with no pain. Since I wasn't sure of the size needed and based on previous reviews, I ordered two pairs: a size larger and a size and a half larger. The size larger fit the best and I returned the other to Zappos with no problems and a quick refund to my credit card. I've recommended these shoes and Zappos to my Zumba friends.

Kind of clunky looking but also very comfortable if you can get the size right. I tried a full size larger than I usually wear and still too short. Nice toe box though and fair - good arch support.

First of all I want to thank Zappos for its wonderful staff and their outstanding customer service. I just received my DRT shoes. I feel that these will be the ultimate Zumba shoes. Recently just started doing zumba and experienced burning on the bottom of my feet with reg running shoes. Tried the other DRT and they did not cause burning but rather numbness, I will update this review soon after my next zumba class. By the way, please order 1 size to 1 1/2 size bigger, especially if you tend to have a wider w.

I ended up ordering 5 pairs of these shoes in both the pink and black and in multiple sizes. I gave a pair to a friend and then another friend purchased one for herself and for her daughter. We all really like the shoes. However, they run 1 1/2 sizes smaller then any other shoes that the 4 of us wear. I ended up ordering several different sizes, before I found the size that fit all of us. The customer service department was extremely helpful and very polite.

These are amazing! I wear a 7 running shoe, and the 6 fit me perfectly. Nonslip, support and great stability.

I've lived a long time and never had a pair of pink shoes. These are wonderful for my workouts and for walking. Make me feel like jumping! I followed other readers' advice and ordered two sizes larger. They fit just right with my medium weight socks. Love 'em.

I started with the Capezio dance sneaker and then upgraded to this shoe. I dance 3 days a week and needed a sturdier shoe. This shoe runs very small.

This shoe worked great for a friend, but if you need arch support it won't work.

These are the best for zumba! They have great padded soles for jumping and pivoting with ease. I replaced the innersole with Softsoles which worked much better for added support and padding to the bottom of the foot. These tend to run small and narrow, so go up one full size.

I love the shoes! The fit is great, I ordered one and a half size larger than I normally wear. They were even very comfortable after wearing them for an extended period of time. I'm considering getting a second pair!

These are great shoes! Due to two surgeries, finding shoes that fit and do not hurt is a challenge. This shoe is wonderful. They have a spacious toe bed. I use them for line dance class. They are perfect and light as a feather. This was a great purchase!

Nice sneaker, well made. Bought them hoping to use for line dancing, but found there is no arch support. I wear 6 1/2 and size 8 fit best.
