Customer Reviews Bloch Evolution Dance Sneaker

I received my Bloch dance sneakers and love the way they feel on my feet for Zumba. No more knee and ankle pain for those the regular crosstrainers I was wearing. I suggest as others have...go 1 1/2 sizes larger.

I tried on lots of dance sneakers, and this was the most comfortable. It runs small though. I wear a size 7 or 7 1/2 street shoe, an 8 or 8 1/2 running shoe, and a 9 in this.

These dance sneakers are very comfortable and are working out well for my Zumba class. They glide across the carpet making it easier to twist without injury. I normally wear an 8 1/2, but had to go up to a size 10 to fit in length. They do run small. I have high arches and find that the arch support is very good. As always Zappos is the best in customer service.

I was looking for a shoe that allows more freedom of movement than a traditional cross trainer for taking a Zumba class. I fell in love with these. I want to wear them all the time!

I am a Zumba instructor and wear these for every class! I have tried 4-5 other styles of shoes and these are the best for me by far. Excellent pivot points. I was skeptical of the arch support, but it is great, too! Perfect for those that dance regularly. They do run a size to a size and half smaller than street shoes - order several pairs up front to decide what size you need.

For my Irish dancing daughter, who dances several hours a night, four nights a week, and needs great support for her feet, knees and legs, these were a home run! They fit perfectly. The design is much sleeker than older versions of dance sneakers. And they are incredibly flexible.

This is a wonderful dance shoe. Gives lots of support but is light and flexible. I have very hard to fit feet because they are wide and I have a high instep and it is perfect. Love it!

These shoes are good for Zumba! They are lightweight and flexible, yet provide enough support for the higher impact steps in Zumba. They provide great arch support and pivot point. I did have some difficulty with sizing. Ultimately, I had to buy a size 10, which is 1 1/2 sizes up from my street shoe size 8 1/2, and 1 size up from my athletic shoe size 9. Also, this was my first purchase with Zappos and it was so easy. I'll be back for more.

I bought this shoe for Jazzercise and I don't think it is right for this kind of activity. It was much different than any other shoe I've bought for high impact dance aerobics. It can bend in half but oddly enough, has good arch support all at the same time . I really think it is more of a dance shoe and we do so much more than dance at jazzercise. It is a nice looking shoe and does hug your foot really nicely. I could just see it wearing out fast. I ordered a half of a size larger and it seemed correct (9 to 9.5 for me).

This is a cute shoe. I like how you don't have to tie it. The arch was to high for me. I usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a 7. Wanted a 7.5 but it wasn't available.

I was having trouble with twists and turns for Zumba. These have a sole that grips when I need but allows the turny-ness dance exercise needs (my running shoes grip way too much and very unidirectionally). These run small though and I would suggest a whole size larger.

I was looking for something for Zumba on a carpeted floor. This shoe is awesome! Light, comfortable, and just enough slide without being too much. I ordered a size larger initially and my toe was squished at the end. Returned for 1.5 sized larger than normal. It fits great!

Tried these shoes in the house. I have plantar fasciitis, and I got them for arch support: definitely not enough support!

These shoes are definitely not for anyone with a wide foot. I read many of the reviews and went up a 1/2 size as advised by most of the reviews. The length was fine but the width was too narrow for my feet...too bad because I think I would have liked them if they were just a little wider.

Love this shoe for dance workouts. Allows for sliding movements and twists without the friction that comes with my cross trainers. Very comfortable and fits like a glove. Very flexible and essentially moves with your body with no resistance. Normally wear a size 8.5M. Based on reviews, bought a size up (9.5M) but was still a tad too snug. Contacted Zappos on the phone and exchanged for a size 10 and the fit was PERFECT! I received the exchanged item the next day. Talk about prompt service! Customer service was excellent, by the way, which makes all the difference when buying online. Love the fact that exchanges are free.

I bought this shoe for West Coast Swing dance practice and absolutely love it! Lots of support, plus slick on a wood floor so I can spin. I highly recommend!

I have tried many different dance sneakers for Zumba & these are by far the best. I have slightly narrow feet & these are perfect. They are comfortable & allow me to pivot on the wood floor. I wear an 8 and I bought an 8 1/2 which are perfect.

This is a nice dance shoes. I love bloch, most of their shoes are great no matter what. You must go up a size from your everyday shoe.

These shoes are great! I use them in my Zumba classes and my knees are so much better now. They do run a size smaller than what you normally wear so order up a size. Zappos' service is wonderful.

These are definitely more comfortable than an ordianry pair of trainers for dancing due to the fact they are light have good support and soft padding. Even though these are low profile the extra height between the floor and your foot effects the centre of gravity. This and the thick soles stop you from feeling the floor which I like to do. I thought the split-sole design would take a bit of getting used to but I found that aspect of the shoe to be fine. The sole does have a small medial pivot point but the rest of the sole is rubber which adds too much friction making turns or spins difficult and consequently putting stress on the knee joints. Overall I found them well made, comfortable but almost impossible to dance in due to the rubber sole and heel.

Hands down the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I'm not a dancer, but was referred to get these for needing to stand for long hours as a nurse. They fit like a glove and provide excellent arch support

These shoes are perfect for Zumba class. Very comfortable and a nice supportive arch. I can pivot easily because they don't stick to the floor. I was worried about hurting my knees with my regular gym shoes. As others have found, I ordered a full size up and it's just right.

These and the Bloch DRT are my favorite shoes for Zumba because they do not stick to the floor -- they allow easy turning on the ball of the foot. I had to order a size and a half larger than my normal size 8 for street shoes.

I got these for my mom for her modern dancing class and she just loves them. She wears a size 7.5 for shoes. I ordered an 8 and an 8.5 for her and the 8.5 fit her perfectly. The shoes is essentially in two parts - front and back. The bottom of the front part is smooth for ease of turning/twisting as you dance.

Runs SMALL I usually wear size 8 1/2 or 9. I ordered a 9 1/2 and could have used a size 10 1/2.
