Customer Reviews Bloch Canvas Boost Dance Sneaker

Ordered several pair of dance shoes before I got it right. These are comfortable and flexible with nice arch support. I ordered a whole size larger than I usually wear and that worked out perfectly. I could have danced all night. Thank goodness for Zappos!

I like these shoes. You need to order a full size larger than normal for a good fit. They slide great on the hardwood floor. I use them for Zumba. Nothing sexie to look at but very comfortable and that's very important.

Fantastic shoe! Sadly, I had to return because it was too small. I suggest ordering 1/2 size up. Otherwise very comfy, great arch support, great service!

These are the cutest casual shoes! While they’re obviously meant for dance, I’ve been wearing them instead of regular tennis shoes and have been happy as a clam with them. It WOULD be nice if the company included lacing instructions with them (the shoes have an extra row of eyelets for special lacing options), for those of us who need a clue... I do love that the shoe seems to run narrow, but note: they run a full size smaller than marked, too.

Uncomfortable – – rubbed against my ankles

Most of the reviews recommended getting a size larger. Did that & felt they were too snug. Ordered a size and a half larger and the fit was perfect. Exchange was simple and fast!

I've been wearing these shoes for Zumba for 10 years. The sizing is inconsistent. Sending back to get 1/2 size bigger to see if they work.

My best size is 5 1/2 W. Based on reviews here and elsewhere, I bought size 7, and it's the right size; I certainly couldn't go smaller in length (sizes in dance shoes are always weird). The fit overall is good except for some looseness in the heel, which I'd rather have more secure but I don't think will cause major problems. I bought these shoes so I could more safely include some (but still not too much) jumping in my pandemic dancing in my wood-on-concrete-floored living room, and I think they'll work well for that. The spinning spot on the sole works well, though it feels a little odd when I'm just walking because it's necessarily slightly raised; I'll just have to get used to that. The thick soles (especially the heels) mean that I can't get my feet as close together as when wearing slimmer-soled dance shoes, so I sometimes end up running my feet into each other when trying to brush them past each other; something else to adjust to. I like the split sole, which allows much more foot articulation that you'd otherwise get with such a thick-soled shoe. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, and I expect that I'll end up wearing them for a number of dance/exercise-type things (e.g., zumba, ballroom when my feet need a break from heels).

If you have to wear an orthotic, this is not the shoe for you. The heal area is too short and the shoe slips out.

Ordered up as advised - still too small and ties don't go high enough to feel secure.

a full size too small and way too narrow.

Unfortunately, the shoes were much to wide in the heels for me. Back to Zappos they will go. I have not found a dance sneaker that fits me well. My old ones are very old and not made anymore.

The shoe, I'm sure, is fabulous if it fits. The problem with Bloch is that their sizing is all over the map. I needed the Mesh sneaker in a 10 - after trying the 8, 9, and 9.5, which were too small. Zappos had no Mesh 10s in stock, so I ordered the canvas in a 10 - too big. I am a 7.5 Narrow, and my left foot is slightly longer. Blochs in an 8 were my old dance sneaker size; now I have to just guess and hope it works. Sadly, Zappos doesn't have what I need in my size. But I appreciate that I could return these.

I normally wear an 8.5 in sneakers but ordered 9.5 based on Bloch's size chart & reading reviews online. Shoes were the right width but way too long. Canvas feels stiff/hard. Seems clunky for a dance shoe.

I wear a size 8.5 in regular shoes, but often a 9 in athletic shoes. So I sized up to a 9, but these were so small I felt like I was wearing a 7.5.

I ordered the canvas and was sent the mesh. Not happy. Deciding to keep the mesh since it's a pain to return and wait for the correct order. This has happened to me before with another shoe, wrong size.

These run VERY small. Which is easily fixable. But I am not getting another pair due to the sole. The soles are very hard. Hard like how running shoe soles get when they are old. Hard, slippery and they cause marks on my wood floor. Cannot figure how these could work for anyone.

Ordered these shoes and received them in less than 24 hours. Great customer service. Unfortunately, whoever shipped these shoes neglected to notice that they were not a matched pair. The right shoe is comfortable, but the left shoe is too small (not my feet). On close examination, one shoe has a shiny rubber heel...the other has a matte rubber heel. I will try to re-order the shoes. I wear a 6.5M, but I ordered the 7.5 and even these were snug.
