Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I read all of the reviews from other customers on this site when I purchased these. Unfortunately, some were not accurate. I wear a size 8.5, but ordered them in a 10. However, I had to return them for a 9.5 instead. My suggestion, order them only one size larger.

Thank goodness for other shopper's comments about size! I wear an 11, but ordered a 12 1/2--it was perfect.

I use this shoe for jazzercise and my feet feel wonderful when executing all of the turns and jumps. It has a good solid base to balance on one foot and good traction on wood floors. My feet are a little wide and this works well. Had to order two sizes up as I have found to be the case with Bloch.

This shoe is awesome. I loved it. Very very comfortable. In the end I returned it because I liked the Bloch Dance Sneaker better for Zumba, it slides better. But these are amazingly comfortable. I don't really know the kind of dance or exercise you'd use them for though. The turn spot is too far back and they have a bit too much traction. They are uglish though I don't mind that.

I adore this shoe! It fits well (I am an 8 and a half-9. I took a 10) and is fun to wear on a dance floor.

This is my first Bloch and I am very pleased with how well constructed the shoes are. Do order a full size up. I usually wear a 9½/10 and I bought an 11 and they fit well enough without socks (as intended). I bought them for Zumba (of course) and let me just say, the sweet spot on the bottom and the ability to pull up the laces in the arch for stability and support really makes these shoes. Some of the reviews complained about lack of arch support but I think they did not experiment enough with the laces to customize for their feet. The only thing I do not like is the inconvenience of having to unlace very time I want to take them off. However, being able to customize the fit in mass produced shoes is an overall plus.

Been wearing my shoes now for three weeks in zumba class. I love them! So glad I read the reviews and ordered a size and a half bigger. Even two sizes bigger is perfect. Love that they come with two laces, regular and elastic. The elastic work well for me as they leave movement for the foot. I've gotten many compliments on these shoes and highly recommend them.

Love this shoe, like a slipper... As others mentioned order a full size up... Wish Bloch would make a better looking shoe...

I bought these shoes for zumba and I love them. They are lightweight and very comfortable I forgot I was wearing shoes. But I wear a size 8½ so I bought a 9½ and a 10 and I am returning the 9½ as they did not feel as comfortable as the 10.

Excellent shoes for zumba. These have great padding in both the front of the foot and the heel so they absorb many of the impacts during a zumba session. They also breathe well and I find that my foot doesn't get hot, even during very active sessions. This style run very small, as noted by others, I regularly wear a size 9 shoes so I ordered both a size 10 and 10 1/2 to see what would fit. I ended up returning both and ordering a size 11 which fit fine.

I love this pair. I've been using them for more than 5 years. I bought it for my ballroom/Latin dance practice to relieve myself from 3 inch pin heels. Now I use them for Zumba classes. This time, I bought a new pair to replace the old one. I first tried on the cheaper ones, and I was so disappointed. I love Bloch and I recommend them, but only this model. Don't even think about other cheaper ones. There's a huge difference. The size I wear is one full size bigger than my regular size. This shoes are pretty wide. I love the toe point where you can stand on your toes like you're wearing a pair of pointe. The sole of the shoes are harder and lighter than regular sneakers, but not like the cheaper ones which were just like a plastic. Those cheap ones were so hard and slippery, and I don't think it's even safe to walk. The sole of these shoes are not as rubbery as regular sneakers and they won't stick like a basket shoes. So you need your muscle power to stop, or you can slip. If you are not really good at muscle control as a dancer and just doing Zumba, you need to get used to, or else you can injure yourself. But to me, this is the best Zumba shoe around.

These are the most comfortable shoes to wear for teaching or taking Zumba! I am an instructor and I have two pairs of these. I never have sore feet and they have good support for me. I also have wide feet so I purchased two sizes larger than I normally wear and they are perfect! Have received many compliments on the pink!

Second pair of Zumba shoes - After 2 years of 3 Zumba classes per week, my old jazz shoes couldn't do another mambo. I read the many reviews of the Blochs written by instructors and decided to give them a try. I love them! The fit is perfect (normal size 9, bought a 10) and they are more comfortable and have much better support than my previous non-Bloch pair.

Zumba Shoe! This is a great Zumba shoe. I read many dance shoe recommendations before purchasing. They all said to order 1 1/2 sizes larger than your usual shoe size. I did, and it fits perfectly. I usually wear a 7, and I ordered an 8 1/2. So great shoe--just be aware you need to order 1 1/2 sizes (some folks even recommend 2 sizes) larger. Sounds crazy, but its true!

Sizing is confusing. Thank goodness for Zappos’ easy return policy. I had to order three different sizes before I got it right. Maybe this will help you - I wear size 10-1/2 street shoe, size 11-1/2 or 12 running shoe, and size 13 in this Bloch dance sneaker. This sneaker is good for "zumba" dancing!

I love Bloch for dance shoes, and I seriously need these for Zumba. Sadly, I need to return them. I measure at 7.5N and my left foot is an 8. Years ago I wore 8 in Bloch and it was perfect. I tried an 8 and 9 this time, and my toes were smashed in both. No 9.5 or 10s in stock, so for now I'm without. :(

The fit and width is perfect for me! I have wide feet with bunions and the shoe flexes wide when I wear them.

Definitely have to order at least 2 size larger. Feels funny at first since there’s no mid sole support. I have yet to try a Zumba class. Only time will tell if this was a good purchase.

Flexible sole gives good movement and traction was good. I normally take a Wide width, and the mesh upper allowed me to wear it even though it was a Medium width. Unfortunately, because the shoe doesn't lace up as far as a normal athletic shoe, I wasn't able to do the lacing that helps tighten down the heel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noO3bTs_4xA), so the heel rubbed up and down. I think if you don't have a narrow heel/wide toe box, though, this would be a great selection for dance and cross-training aerobic classes. Finally settled on a New Balance model.

I think this is a great shoe! unfortunately it runs very small. I ordered 1 size bigger and still too tight. I usually wear a 7, ordered an 8, but will have to order 8 1/2 or even a 9.

I bought these for Body FX dance workouts. They are great for that. Pretty comfy and flexible insoles. They are really small. I normally wear a 10 and bought 11. These are almost too small. I kept them thinking 11.5 would be too big. Pretty good for what I needed over all.

I really wanted to love this shoe for zumba and other dance events. Took other reviewer’s advice and ordered a size up (though 1/2 size extra would have been ideal, but 13 was my only choice at size 12!). The half-size would have made all the difference! The fit was snug, my toes right at the edge. Good on turns, lightweight, well made. Try a lunge or plie when making a choice on dance shoes, my toes at the edge made that simple move excrutiating! Sadly, am returning.
