BlochDance Women's Canvas Boost Split Sole Dance Sneaker

I had a pair of these for 4-5 years and absolutely love them. When they finally wore out, I decided to replace them. In reading the reviews, it seemed that most buyers were going with 1 size up. My first pair were 1 1/2 size up, but I went with the smaller option thinking that sizing might have changed in 4-5 years. WRONG! My foot is small (5 1/2 to 6) but the 6 1/2 not only were somewhat short in the toe ( which I think I could have worked with) but there was a hard place in the tongue that was extremely uncomfortable on my left upper instep. Never had that problem before. I had to send them back and order a 7 (1 1/2 sizes up). I do want to say how impressed I am with Amazon's prepaid return policy. I printed out the label, took it to a UPS store, and within about 2 hours, I received an email that my return had been processed and a credit was forthcoming. Good on you, Amazon!

My shoe size is a men's US 9.5 but I added half size and used size 10 to convert. Their conversion chart indicated that for a sneaker, I should order a women's size 12. For me it was a perfect fit. I added an arch support insert and it still fits good.

I teach kids gymnastics during the day, and I do ballroom dance, work out at the gym and take walks outside as my hobbies. I have been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis for about 8 months. The doctor finally advised me to wear a boot for 6-8 weeks. I'm still recovering and am on week 7 in the boot. I use these type Bloch shoes for dance practice and for my dance workout class. I can't wait to get back to it. In anticipation of dancing again, I purchased these to replace my worn out different style Bloch shoes. I have started to wear them around the house some, when I give my foot a break from the boot. They are SO comfortable, and my feet do not hurt after wearing them. I may buy a 2nd pair just for work. As far as sizing goes. In dance heels, I wear an 8-1/2. In regular heels, I wear a 9. In tennis shoes, I wear a 9-1/2. Per others' recommendations, I purchased both the 10-1/2 and 11 to compare. The 11 was slightly too big. The 10-1/2 fits well. So I would recommend getting whatever size you wear in an athletic tennis shoe.

I ordered 3 different sizes and had to return them all. They are way too small. I finally ordered a size that was 2 full sizes over what I normally wear. But then the arch wasn’t comfortable. I gave up on Bloch and found a Capezio which was comfortable.

I bought these "boost" dance sneakers by Bloch for Zumba class. After reading the many reviews, I chose a size 10 which is 1 1/2 sizes larger than the 8 1/2 that I normally wear. My foot is wide so it helps that they are a cloth upper. They are the size and brand I will choose when I buy my next pair.The shoes allow me to salsa, merengue, samba, cha cha and swivel my hips without the pulling at my knees and ankles caused by shoes that do not smoothly glide along during those movements. The shoes slide nicely on the floor so I only wear them for the dance-type classes. I tried to wear them for Turbo Kick but was sliding far too much and had to change to my normal sneakers for the rest of the class.I've been very pleased with my purchase.

If you need cushioning as you work the floor—well here it is!!

Only for very wide feet that don’t taper?

Love the shoes and the fact they are made for dancing. They are very snug (I wear a 7 usually, and ordered a 7.5). I am not wearing a "footie" with them because of their snug-ness.Would it be possible to return them for a size 8? I have worn them once.Good shoe - great support - great for dancing, but definitely run small.

Buenos materiales, muy cómodos para dar clase

La scarpa calza molto stretta, ne ho diverse, io ho il 42 ma ho preso il 44.Per errore mi é arrivato proprio il 42, e confermo che non é utilizzabile per chi ha il 42.Do una stella perché sbagliare l'invio del numero é inaccettabile, ed ora sono costretto a perdere un'ora per andare a fare il reso. Vediamo se mi viene sostituito col numero corretto.

Habe bereits vor mehr als 10 jahren ein ähnliches Bloch-Modell getragen und mir nun ein neues Paar gekauft. Tipptopp und bequem wie früher.

I got them to go to jiveing lessons brilliant

Love for hip hop class! The spin spot stops my feet from grabbing the floor during turns. I ordered 1.5 size larger than regular running shoes and they fit perfectly. Great for wide feet.
