Customer Reviews Bloch Synchrony Split Sole Ballet

The manufacturer recommended ordering down 3 sizes. The first pair I ordered was too small at 2 sizes down. I ended up with the 5.5. I’m a true 7 in street shoes. I would recommend 1.5 sizes down from you regular shoe size.

I wear a 9 street shoe and the 6.5 narrow was perfect for me. The shoes are very comfortable and totally conform to your foot. They do wear out faster than leather ones, but they are so much prettier on your feet and your arch looks great in them. I use these for all my classes and use old leather ones for my long practice sessions at home.

Stop reading reviews and follow Bloch’s recommendation of ordering two sizes down from your street shoe. I ended up ordering one size down after driving myself crazy with reviews. My daughter is using them but a size below would have been perfect. She wears a Street shoe women’s 8, I ordered 7, should have ordered 6.

My daughter is right between adult and kid sizes (size 2, 8" foot) so I ended up buying 4 pairs to get the best fit. The 1.5 kids barely came up over her heel. We ended up settling on the adult 3.5. It has a little bit of room in the toes. I reattached the elastic straps to fix the bit of gapping around the top, which I though was strange because kids feet are supposed to be wider? My daughter loves the security of the double bands. I like the canvas because she is also a gymnast and the Bloch website recommends these for gymnasts over the leather. Will buy this style again when she grows out.

Bloch said to order 2 sizes smaller than street shoe size. We had to end up ordering 2 sizes larger than street shoe size. Very comfortable though. Daughter loves them.

"true to size " can be misleading for ballet shoes. I wear a consistent 7.5 M in street shoes. I ordered the 6C and they were exactly what I was looking for. 5.5 would have been way too tight. 6.5 would probably have worked, except I like a fitted shoe.The cross-straps provide excellent arch support and the split bottoms allow good form with no break-in period.

Excellent ballet shoe!! Daughter normally wears a size 3 street shoe but wears a 3.5 in this shoe. We ordered the narrow and it was a perfect fit! Highly recommended!

Perfect ballet slippers. I have narrow heels, and many brands and styles slipp off my feet. The elastic keeps these on and feels secure. The split sole help create a beautiful arch. You do need to size down from normal street shoes. I wear a 9, but ordered a 7 based on others' reviews and they fit perfectly. Love these!

I wear a size 4 street shoes, so I think I should have ordered a size 4D. Instead I ordered a size 3.5 C. However, I like the way it feels snuggly on my foot. I have a a high arch.

Great product and love the service from Zappos even more. After trying to buy these shoes locally and failing, we were pressed for time. That's where Zappos excels--has the shoes (even ballet shoes) we need, in the right sizes, when we need them. My daughter loves these and I may change from the Grishkos I've been wearing for years to wear these next time I need new ballet shoes. Without the strings across the top, they provide a smooth line on the foot without a break or hitch. No danger of her tightening the laces too tight and rubbing her achilles' tendon either (yes, this happened when she was younger). We bought three pairs, one smaller than advised, one the size advised, and one larger. We will return the smallest one and keep the other two as fitting (as recommended) and a bit big.

I like that the material stretches but would have gone up a half size as they feel so snug. They will most likely loosen up but the tootsies are right up to and pressing the front. I always wear size 7 shoes and the reviews said 5.5 would be good. Otherwise, I love the fact that the elastic is already in place and don’t have to fiddle with sewing.

This style runs slightly smaller than other Bloch split-sole ballet slippers and is a little rougher on the inside. Consider buying a half size larger. I prefer the Bloch Pro Elastic ballet slippers, but Zappos doesn't sell that style.

I was excited to see these because I loved the Bloch Pro Elastic and they were true to size for me (ordering 2 sizes down from street). These seem like they'd be awesome but they just will not stay on my feet! The actual shoe fabric is stretchy which makes them very comfortable but they flopped off the back of my feet after a couple jumps. They seem maybe slightly too short but are also loose across the tops of my feet. I've never encountered a fit like this so I'm not sure if I should try bigger or smaller! I'm going back to Pro Elastic because I know they work.

I wear a 7.5 M shoe, but I'm actually between a 7 and 7.5. For my intended purpose, the 6.5 C worked OK. (I tried a 7 C also, but found it both too long and too wide.) I have arthritis in my big toes and need the room lengthwise. It's possible that I might have been able to size down one half size if I took daily classes. That's because they would stretch. Unlikely that I could go down the manufacturer's recommended two sizes. That's why I proposed that the shoe felt one whole size smaller. This is a comfortable ballet slipper with a stretch band around the top. So, no annoying bow to tie. They include sewn on straps, which is a nice gift. For my use, they'll last long enough.

My daughter absolutely loves these ballet slippers. No complaints! We did have to order 3 pairs to get the correct sizing. She needed a larger size, vs. her true size. The split toe and cotton slipper was recommended from her ballet teacher.

Once the sizing was figured out these were perfect. Thank goodness for free returns! We ordered one size smaller than regular shoe size and the fit was perfect.

Definitely not true to size but once you figure the sizing out, it’s perfect!

These are quality dance shoes, and love the double strap to keep them secure. My 10 yr old daughter wears a size 2 shoe with a narrow foot, but liked these best in a size 3 medium. The narrow's felt as if they were coming off the back of her heel when moving.

Perfect, exactly as described. Stay flush with foot. comfortable

great, the only place we buy dance shoes!

zappos is the only place we buy our daughters dance shoes, easy returns/exchanges to fit their feet just perfect. i just wish they carried a wider variety

These are my daughter's favorite ballet slippers.
