Dance Sneakers with Criss Cross Toe & Split Sole

This is a great dance sneaker from Bloch. The ad said to order (I believe, without looking) 1/2 to 1 size larger. I have purchased Bloch dance sneakers before. So I knew my 9.5 street-size feet needed and 11.5 in the Bloch. Just sharing that in case it's helpful for someone else.

I love these shoes. I bought them for zumba and love that I can turn without hurting my ankles and that I can point my foot. I sent a pair to my daughter, who teaches Dance It Out, and she loves them, too. I read the reviews and bought a half size up and had to return for a FULL SIZE UP, so I did the same for my daughter. Really-- a full size up. And these shoes have an arch support, which some dance sneakers do not. They feel great and look great, and I feel so much safer than dancing in any other athletic shoes. Oh, and it's cool to have Blochs on my feet again after being away from any kind of dance for years.

I find the Bloch split sole shoes a good choice for Zumba - especially if the floor is "sticky." You can easily move, pivot and change direction with less torque on your knees. The shoe does run small. I would say go up one full size of your usual sneaker. There is not a lot of lateral support so you may want to take that into consideration, but overall I have found this to be one of the best shoes to move in a dance fitness class.

Bought these for Zumba and they are amazing! I checked 'fit as expected', but I expected that Bloch dance shoes are sized differently. I wear size 7 sneakers, my foot is 9" (6.5), but I like a little space. I bought size 8.5 in these and they are very comfortable and fit as they should. I love that I can spin and slide better than a sneaker, but still have control. Easier on the knees!

Good quality and just what I was looking for to replace similar 5 yr old dance shoes. Usually wear a size 8 but ordered size 9 per others recommendation. It fits but a bit too long in the toe area. Would try an 8 1/2 next time.

I tried every model of Bloch and Capezio dance sneakers and these are... by far.. the most comfortable. And the oval "spin spot" on the sole works beautifully. I wear a size 8 1/2 wide in running sneakers and based on reviews I ordered these in a 9.5 and they fit perfectly. I'm going to have to order a 2nd pair as back ups.....

I have owned this shoe in different colors over the years. Some of them have been leather uppers, some vinyl and some cloth. I found that the different colors have different materials on the sole. They say it’s the same materials, but it isn’t. Some of them have better slippage for turning. These ones that are all black are too sticky and rubbery and don’t spin well. They also leave black marks on the floor. Used to have a pair with white soles that I absolutely loved. Same brand and model.

I am a 9.5 in street shoes. The 9.5 was a bit snug. The 10 fits better.

Price is affordable but sizing is definitely too small although I ordered half a size bigger. The fit is also not good and my feet hurt wearing them . The box also arrived crushed and broken. Not confident to wear them fir high impact zumba.

I like to buy shoes as much as possible in a US 7.5 as that's the perfect fit for me. However, these are made in Thailand, and while the quality is good, the sizing is a bit off. The size label equates a US 7.5 with UK 4.5 when it should be 5.5, and Eur 37, when it should be 38. Consequently, the shoes are at least half a size to a full size smaller than expected. However they are soft and will give a bit. Bit disappointing but don't have time to exchange them. More disappointing, they weren't packaged very well at all, just a shoe box in a polythene shipping bag. The box is trashed so it's a good job I don't want to return, gift or on-sell them. _:(

Habe eigentlich 39. Da sie ja anscheinend kleiner ausfallen sollen, habe ich sie in 40,5 bestellt. Es kam jedoch 39,5 an. Sie passen nun - dürften allerdings auch nicht mehr viel kleiner sein.

I normally take a size 9. I ordered a 10.5 and they were way too small. Returned them for a size 11. My toes were still touching the end without socks. I returned them as well. My size 12 arrived today and they fit perfectly with a sports sock. I'll update after I've been wearing them for a while for intense activity.

Todo perfecto
