Customer Reviews Bloch Chloe and Maud Tap

This tap shoe is beautiful for the price. I do reccomend that you buy one full size larger than your street size. I take a ladies size 10 and I needed a size 11 in these and they fit perfect with a moderate thickness type sock. Please Note! They come with grips that are optional and if you are not an experienced tap dancer YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM APPLIED at your local shoe repair which cost me an extra $15. Well worth the price because the soles of these shoes are a slippery metal type sole and that extra grip made the whole difference in my dange steps.

Great tap shoes and quite comfortable. They run VERY small. I usually wear an 8-1/2 to 9 and had to order size 10. I think all the reviews have stated this about this particular shoe. I’ve had 3 different styles of Bloch tap shoes and have had to order a different size for each of them. Each style seems to be sized independently. Great shoes tho!

Not for wide feet These shoes run at least a size smaller than marked. Unable to find a wide tap shoe we tried these as reviews mentioned the leather being soft and we were hoping that they would be be just a bit snug and would stretch a bit with use. Unfortunately, they are a true medium as advertised and will not work for a wide foot. It’s a nice shoe and we wish it was available in wide.

I am a beginner to intermediate tapper. I love these! They are not so bulky like the J Sams and have half the price tag. The sounds are so much better than my last cheap pair of taps. Very comfortable during tap class. Highly recommend!

I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 size shoe. This shoe fits nicely at size 8 1/2, so I definitely needed a full size larger. Very plush soft interior, good looking shoe. Haven't given them a true work out yet but I think I am going to like them!

great shoes, run very small. I usually can wear a full street size sizer smaller in most shoes ( I am a "5" but can usually wear a 4 or 4.5 in most brands) and with these I had to size up from my regular shoe size "5" a whole size more to a 6. The taps are nice and the leather is soft

These are very well made. I normally wear a 7.5-8 but needed a 9 to make them comfortable. Recommend sizing up one full size.

Size Up! My child wears a size 2.5Y in a street shoe. In a Bloch tap shoe, she is between a 5 and a 5.5 We tried this brand in a women's size 4.5 (equivalent to 2.5Y) and she could not even get her foot in the shoe. A size 5 was a smidgen too snug. I am aware snug is good for a tap shoe, but at $100 a pair with a growing child we decided it was best to go with a 5.5. The 5.5 is just a smidgen too loose. In a street shoe it would be considered an acceptable amount of room for growth. We tie the laces tightly and there is no slippage. With a thin sock rather than tights they would fit perfectly. These shoes are beautiful. Proof that not all black leather tap shoes are the same. Very soft leather and a comfortable amount of padding. Tried less expensive shoes in other brands and all of them hurt my child's feet. She has a short Achilles tendon. The Bloch shoes with the notch are a life saver. I just wished Zappos carried the more moderately priced Bloch Audeo Jazz tap shoe. We were under a time crunch. Ordering directly from Bloch took 8 days! Then the shoes did not fit so we turned to Zappos. THANKS Zappos for your 1 day business shipping! This is not the first time your quick shipping has saved the day.

The shoe feels great on my feet. It runs very small so you should buy a full size larger than your normal shoe size. Other than that, it’s GREAT!!!

I usually wear a size 8 shoe or sometimes an 8 1/2 because my left foot is slightly larger than my right, so I purchased these in the 8 1/2. They were still a little tight, but I thought going up to a 9 would be too large. The right shoe is great, but the left was too tight. However, I used a shoe stretcher on that left shoe and was able to make it fit just right!

Absolutely love these shoes!! Super cool. They are a tiny bit narrow bit I do believe they will stretch out enough. Great arch support. Order a size to a size and half larger than usual.

Fit was a full size too small
