This is the second pair that I bought for my daughter from this supplier and I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. The dance studio she is in sells them for $130🫣. The shoes are incredibly comfortable. The cushioned insole provides excellent support. They offer a perfect blend of comfort, sound quality, durability, and style that is hard to hear !We bought size 7 1/2 , her normal shoes size is 6 1/5.

Great study show. Nice material. Sadly I ordered a size 4 as my child wears this. Too small by at least two sizes. Had to return. But nice shoe. My bad. Return was super easy fyi

After retiring, I'm finally able to take tap again after about 40 years away and loving it! I typically wear a 6.5 wide, and after reading reviews I got an 8, which, with lightweight cotton socks, fit perfectly. I did have to add a couple additional holes in the straps, but if you don't have a leather punch yourself, it's generally easy to sweettalk a cobbler (shoe repair person) into doing it for you.

I had bought some cheaper but not really cheaper tap shoes from my studio when I started dance and I just wasn't loving them. They were too wide for my narrow foot and they didn't make good tap sounds. I found these which retailed for way more but bc I needed a narrow they were actually cheaper. They fit me so so so good and I haven't used them yet but seem way better quality. Definitely go up a full size and they'll fit perfect. Very pleased with these though.

I went straight to BLOCH website to confirm sizing. I am a 7.5 street shoe, so I got the size 8. I do have narrow feet, so not sure how others may experience these shoes if you have wide feet? But I love these!!!! VERY comfortable, love the style, I had everyone in my tap class admire the style, so cute! Great quality, as BLOCH always is. I definitely recommend! My fellow tap mate spent $175 her tap shoes, which were the lace up. These are such a great deal and a beautiful shoe. I do wear small sockinettes when I wear them myself.

I bought these for my class. I read reviews and ordered up a size and they were toooo big! I ordered a half size bigger and they fit, so for my size 10, I went to a 101/2. The only issue is I can feel the strap rubbing the side of my foot on one side, but I just wore them, so I guess that is breaking them in. They are comfortable. And it is hard for me to find comfortable shoes in general, so instead of being cheap I went ahead and ordered these. The shoe is a quality shoe.

The sound on these shoes is great - especially for hobbyist shoes. They are VERY comfortable. They are a touch small - i went up .5 size and while that "just works", if i was to order a second pair i would have gone up a full size to allow more room for my toes to fan. In other words, order these like you would a good pair of running sneakers. That said - i truly love them. The are attractive to look at, comfortable, and like i said - they make an excellent sound.

Buen día.Los zapatos quedan como esperaba, solo recomiendo tener en cuenta que las tallas de Bloch son diferentes por ejemplo yo soy 26 Mex, 9 US y en Bloch soy 10.5. Me quedo un poco grande por que los compre medium y mi pie es muy delgado así que tuve que haber comprado el regular aunque realmente no hace mucha diferencia, de cualquier forma quedan muy bien, están hermosos. Yo los uso para bailar Sean Nos y son excelentes. Fue una excelente compra y por supuesto que los volvería a comprar.

Update 5/25/2016:I wore the original pair several times (and they just got more comfortable with wear) but then my cat peed in one of them, so I had to order another pair! The second pair was just as nice as the first, and now I keep them in the box on a shelf! Freakin' cats...!!********************************************************************************************************************************************These shoes are fantastic! Nice and sturdy while still being very comfortable. I love the thin layer of (whatever?) between the tap and the shoe itself. It seems to offer a bit of extra shock absorption. The bit of rubber under the ball of the foot is very nice, too. I had a little squeak in my right one at first, but it went away after one class. I wear an 8 1/2 to 9 in most shoes, and my feet are a bit narrow. The 9N was perfect for me.A high quality shoe at a fair price. I am pleased!

It's hard to choose a star rating on this one because I love Bloch's tap shoe. My daughter had this shoe and we were impressed with the quality. Unfortunately my Bloch order from amazon didn't work out. Amazon shipped a 5 1/2 when I had ordered a 6 1/2. I looked at the size on the bottom and someone had taken a sharp instrument and tried to carve the 5 into a 6. When compared to my daughter's size 6 they were clearly a half size smaller. Also they were not as pictured. The picture (and my daughter's previous pair) had a strap without the holes and the buckle doesn't have a prong. You just weave the strap through and the buckle holds it in place. This makes it more flexible in getting the right fit and is easier to put on. It's why we but Bloch. However this shoe had the traditional strap. We returned the shoe and will be ordering directly from the manufacturer.
