Customer Reviews Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Dance Sneaker

I love this Boost DRT Mesh dance sneaker. It gives me arch support and cushioning for my knees. I did an hour zumba class and felt great. And it looks great, get lots of compliments. I read the reviews about sizing up. I normally wear a 7.5 and I ordered a 8.5 and it fit perfect. So size up.

Very happy with this shoe. Lightweight, flexible, good arch support, effortless to pivot and spin while having good traction (that might read as contradictory, but it's not!). I linedance 3-5 times per week and can do so with much less knee discomfort. My shoe size is between a 7 and 7.5 so followed advice of others and ordered the shoe in a size 9. Would have been fine with an 8.5 but only because I am not a true 7.5. I bought 2 pair, black & pink and everyone loves the pink. Zappos was terrific, upgrading their standard shipping so that I had the shoes in 2 days at no extra cost. Love Zappos!

These shoes are terrific for my Zumba class. They run small, however, so order at least one size larger. I wear a size 9 street shoe and the 10-1/2 Sneaker fits me.

Love these shoes! You do have to buy the shoe larger than your regular shoe size. I wear a 6.5 (US size) and i bought an 8 per others' recommendation. They were right.

These are great for Zumba! I personally prefer the flexibility and support of a dance shoe over a work-out sneaker. I had been wearing another brand dance shoe - Capezio, which I loved - but it didn't provide enough traction on a slippery gymnasium floor. I was looking for something similar, but with more traction, and these are perfect. Because of arthritis pain in through the ball of my foot, I need a lot of arch support and a lot of cushioning. These aren't quite as great for that as the other brand, but it's a very close second. I would recommend a full size up from your regular shoe size. I wear an 8 1/2 normally, a 9 in any sneaker, but I needed a 9 1/2 in these. They are very light and comfortable.

Great Zumba shoes. You can move freely. About the size, I ordered one size larger and it was a little tight. I'm about a 7.5 normally and I ordered 8.5. I'm returning for a size 9. If you are between sizes, round up, then go one size bigger. Also, for those with wide feet, try using the inside loops on the shoe instead of the outside loops. I found this method to be more comfortable.

I love these shoes! They are perfect for doing heavy cardio - like Tracy Anderson's "Dance Cardio" - and they make it much easier to follow along and not fall. I have big feet, but these make me seem much more agile and I highly recommend them. I would order a full size larger - because of the way they fit - and also break them in the first day.

I purchased the Bloch Boost DRT Mesh Sneaker to wear for my zumba fitness class. They felt a little strange when I first put them on. But I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they felt during the full hour class. My feet, nor anything else for that matter, hurt during or after the class. My instructor noticed them and told me I made a good choice, and believe me, she would know. The shoes were also perfect for the necessary sliding movements throughout the choreography. I highly recommend the Bloch Boost.

I normally wear a size 10 B width, so as per the recommendation of other reviewers, I ordered up a whole size to 11. Maybe half a size up is better for smaller sizes, but a whole size up worked well for me, and they were still quite snug and narrow fitting. However, after a couple of uses in Zumba class, they loosened up a tad and now fit perfectly! These are far more effective than cross-trainers for Zumba as the bottom sole allows easier turning and spinning, and is quite springy. I've got osteo-arthritis in my knees, and rheumatoid arthritis in the balls of my feet.I wouldn't be able to do Zumba without a dance sneaker as there'd be too much stress on all of those joints. Though a little odd looking, I felt these were more substantial and offered more support than some lighter dance sneakers. They breath well, too. My orthopedic inserts fit, though I don't use them as I prefer how bendable the shoes are without.

These shoes are great. I take 5 zumba classes a week and these shoes are perfect for my needs. I read other reviews before ordering them and really appreciated people taking the time to share their findings with Zappos customers. I found that as others recommended I needed a half size larger than I usually wear. I've had no foot issues since starting to wear these shoes a few weeks ago. Zappos is the best company to deal with too. Tops in customer service. I've been ordering shoes through them for years now.

Excellent shoe for Zumba! These were really comfortable from the get-go, didn't have to break them in at all, took them straight to my Zumba class and had happy feet ever since. They do run small, as stated on the Zappos site-- although I ordered a whole size up, since I have wide, flat, feet and bunions. I would highly recommend these if you have similar foot problems but love to dance dance dance.

I wear a size 6 shoe and normally purchase a half size larger when I buy athletic shoes. I orginally purchased this shoe in a 6.5 and returned it for a 7 and there is very little toe room.

I bought 1/2 size up from my street size and it was enough. The size is just right, snugly as I wanted it to be. These shoes are amazingly comfortable and perfect for jazz dance and for Zumba. Wonderful buy and Zappos has the most knowledgeable, kind and delightful customer service!

Liked the shoe - definitely a full size to 1 1/2 sizes too small so be careful. I take an 8 and feel good toe room in a 9.5. The arch support isn't a great as some of my Sansha dance sneakers but like the extra room in the toe box and generally softer feel around the foot.

Perfect Zumba shoes! I had another pair of dance sneakers from another company, but they were cushioned enough, and they didn't provide enough lateral support. These Blochs are perfect. They are comfortable, they flex when and where you need them to, and they provide cushioning and support in all the right places. When these wear out, I will just straight up replace them with the same model without bothering to shop around.

The first time when I told my husband to buy the sneakers by internet I was afraid but now after I changed the size without any problem at all with Zappos, I feel confident to buy any product from Zappos. Very good products and the customer service is super.

Nice! I wear a 7.5 wide, usually only Easy Spirit shoes for instant comfort and fit. I needed Zumba shoes and read all the reviews. Problem: no wide sizes. I ordered 4 pair. This size 8.5 feels good. A little hard to get the wide part of my left foot through the middle of the shoe. But once on, feels very nice and cushy. And not crimping my very wide feet. The test will come in class this week. The Ryka Studio D size 8 also worked well for my 7.5 wide foot.

This shoe is awesome for jazz and Zumba classes, flexible and breathable. Order a full size up and you won't be disappointed

I bought this dance sneaker for Zumba. My floor surface is low pile carpet. I found the shoe to be light, comfortable and easy to move around in. It is also a very cute shoe. Do buy a full size larger.

I bought these shoes for my Zumba class and absolutely love them. My knees don't bother me any more from the Zumba moves: I can move and turn easily on the hardwood floor, but at the same time they don't slide. I ordered a half size larger as was advised, but my feet are wide so I ended up exchanging for a size and a half larger before they felt comfortable. Exchanging was quick and easy.

These totally took care of my back/hip pain during Zumba. I totally feel like I'm dancing instead of fighting the grip on the bottom of my sneakers. These are worth every penny once you get used to the way they look. They do make my feel look smaller, but like other users, I had to go up 1.5 sizes.

No more sore back, hips or knees after Zumba thanks to my new shoes, they really do help with all those lateral moves and turns. Sizing is pretty accurate could have possibly gone up half a size but I only wear them for an hour a couple of days a week so they are fine.

Now this is how trade would be done in an age of enlightement. With my first order I followed the advice of 'half size larger' but I found I needed a full size larger. The exchange process was done in a blaze and with such care that I was truly giddy...how fun! I had my perfectly fitting dance sneaker the next day. Wow!
