Bloch Shoes-one of the Best
342201
I ordered these 2 years ago and love them. You do have to order one size up. I wear a 6 but in these I had to get  a 7.  But they are alittle wider and it makes the shoe very comfortable. The shoe is very well made and sturdy.  I dance 4 days a week and put the shoes threw a lot and they hold up well. I couldn't be happier and I will never wear a dance shoe that isn't a Bloch!!  Trust me I have tried other shoes as I have danced most of my life, and these are the best. I've never lost a screw or had to pay for repairs. I Love the Shockwave taps they have rich popping sound to them. Shoe is well made and worth the money. You can wear a heavier sock with this style if you like. I think Bloch is the best. Very pleased.

My son is almost 6 and we have been buying these shoes for the past three years. You can dress them up with khakis or can dress them down with jeans. They hold up superbly well and last the entire fall and winter seasons. My husband keeps them polished nicely with leather cleaner.  In fact, by the time my son outgrows them, they are still in great enough shape to be passed on to a consignment shop where they do not sit on the shelf long. They are a bit pricey, but are extremely worth every cent.

Awesome ballet flats. Very soft and comfortable. Nice thick leather pads on the bottom. Very durable.  I normally wear a 4b, but learned the hard way that Bloch runs small(sometimes WAY small - example, the Zenith) I decided to go up a 1/2 size and choose wide C. They fit my 6/6.5 street size feet wonderfully! I have 231.775 mm(23.17 cm) size feet. I probably could have even gone up another 1/2 size to a 5c, but the 4.5c's still fit comfortably and will break in.

I'm in a ballroom dancing class and was told to choose shoes that were
- Suede Bottom
- 2.5 heel
- Color that is closest to my skin color.

I looked on Discount Dance's website and used the filter option and came upon these.

FIT: I really enjoy these shoes. However, I've spent all my life having to figure out how shoes work for my narrow feet and long toes. I chose a 7.5 and it fits perfectly. I think people who have wide feet will find this uncomfortable because it is NARROW. People who run true to size and don't have to accommodate their toes will find this a little bit large. These are very comfortable for me. I didn't have time to break them in before my class because the shipping took a little bit longer than expected. However, these did not hurt or blister my feet. I still suggest breaking all dance shoes in before long practices.

COLOR: These ARE NOT tan. The swatch picture on Amazon and all the pictures on DD's website are definitely skewed. This is most similar to the default Amazon picture or Pantone's 14-1031 TCX Rattan. My instructor said these shoes were fine and unlike ballet shoes, ballroom shoes usually don't come very close to anyone's skin color unless they are custom ordered.

HOW TO USE: The strap is adjustable. Maneuver the strap into the silver slot. When pulled, the buckle should on the outside (like a normal adjustable strap shoe) and the buckle should be flush against the silver slot. If there needs to be adjustment, adjust the toggle on the buckle like you would with a normal adjustable strap shoe and repeat the previous steps.

GENERAL INFORMATION: The website says, "Very Fine's Professional line is designed specifically for professional competitors and dancers. The non-slip insole is made with a specialized nano-fiber which deodorizes the shoes and keeps it fresh even after along hours of dancing. The footbed has been designed with extra padding using memory padding technology which provides long lasting comfort, absorbs shock, and maintain its shape. The premium stain fabric has been specially treated to resist water, oil and dirt and is easier to clean. Professional ultra soft suede outer sole make these shoes ultra light. Features a quick release buckle. A free shoe bag is included with each pair."

To start: This is my 27th pair of K Swiss tubes.

I still have the first pair which I bought 4 years ago: they last long. I have never been able to find great fit tennis shoes that do not hurt my feet after standing on them for long periods of time. I am pleased to be able to work 12 hour shifts on my feet (in health care), without having aches and pains.

I have wide feet, and although these are not designated as wide width shoes, they conform to your feet without damaging the shoes, and still allow room for comfort.

I hope that K Swiss never stops manufacturing these shoes, as I don't think I will be able to find any that compare.

Love these Florsheim Penny Loafers.  This is a repeat order. Two of my kids wore them and it really lasted and wore well.  Its a neat design that gives it a nice dressy look. Color is dark black which i like so it gives it an expensive look.  Its comfortable to wear all day and the size it true to size.  It fit as expected, Will definitely by this again and again.

Aetrex shoes are THE best if you need arch support. I have never found any other brand of shoe so comfortable for my "ballerina feet." The built in orthotic feels great and is not noticeable. The adjustable velcro and elastic lets you achieve a perfect fit while being essentially unnoticeable. I have gotten numerous compliments on these shoes. They look a bit more sophisticated than the photo conveys, and can be dressed up and down. The color is a neutral that works with both gray/blacks to beige/browns. If you have what podiatrists call a "high arch rigid foot" you will love these shoes.

First off, Josef Seibel shoes are always ultra, super comfy.  Some of the styles may look a little "corrective," :-) but you can't beat the "ah" factor when they're on your feet, and the quality is fantastic.  The Lindsay are in between "corrective" and "hip."  I love the contrasting stitching and laces, and the black, which is what I ordered, is a true black.

The sizing with all UK sized shoes can be problematic because there are no half sizes.  Granted, this is a pain, but what are ya gonna do.  I wear a 7 and sometimes with UK sizing I'm a 37, and other times a 38.  I purchased the 38 on these and they are a tiny bit big, but that would be that half-size.

This shoe is a smart addition to a summer wardrobe since it goes with most casual and bohemian clothes. I have several pair indifferent colors, and I find these shoes comfortable and attractive. I have received many compliments on them. The nice feature is that the sequins and other decorations do not fall off. These shoes are well-made and worth the money. Just do not order them if you need a WW width. They tend to be narrow.

These shoes are fantastic. I'm not sure why other reviews aren't positive. They are an incredibly soft suede, and perfect for indoor soccer. My son wears them as everyday sneakers though. I used to have a pair of these years ago and then they discontinued them. I loved them too, and wore my for years.  My son, who wears them every day went through his shoes in 6 months. Don't be put off by this though. No shoe has ever lasted longer that 6 months on his feet. I am buying a second pair for him now.

We are on our 4th pair of Bloch slippers and have never had a problem - my daughter outgrows them before they wear out!

I have worn birks for 13 years now and I have never been disappointed.  I cannot wear my Boston's at work, so I decided to try the London.  1 month later, I now have three pairs.  I wear them everyday in a manufacturing environment and I am standing on concrete all day long.  I broke my foot/toes in an accident years ago and it can cause me trouble after doing a lot of standing.  I have not had a single issue since I started wearing the Londons.  The biggest issue I have found is having to tell my wife I just bought another pair of shoes!
The openness of the shoe allows for good air circulation to keep my feet cool.  The wool version is actually the coolest of the bunch.  The leather is very stiff the first time they are worn, especially around the heel.  This softens up quickly and allows for easy on and off.  The size is normal your normal birkenstock size.

Some of the best shoes I have ever owned. I wore these 3-4 days a week for a year and a half to two years. I got complimented on them constantly. They look very sharp and look like you spent the money for a decently high end dress shoe. They're also very comfortable, supportive, and durable. I had a pair of G.H. Bass dress shoes before these that I thought were comparable. The Bass Shoes do not even compare to these. I highly recommend these, but I wish the price hadn't increased as I bought them for under $50 I believe.

I bought these in black and fell in love as soon as I saw them in person (in fact, I immediately signed back onto amazon and ordered the suede version, which are also gorgeous). These shoes are basically an actual ballet shoe with a rubber bottom, which is exactly what I wanted.

Although there isn't a picture on amazon of the shoes folded up, these are the Bloch version of foldable ballet flats; they arrive folded up in a smaller-than-normal shoebox, and they come with a nicely made little pouch, so you can keep them in your bag. The first time I wore these was to the airport for a coast-to-coast flight, and the combination of comfort & being lightweight and easily stowable made them great travel companions!

The leather is very soft and supple, and the suede-lined interior of the shoes feels amazing when you slip them on. They are extremely lightweight--again, this shoe is the closest thing I've seen to an actual ballet shoe, while still being street-wearable. Because of this, they look very delicate and sleek on your foot--I found them to be very refined looking (I hate when "ballet" flats are clunky and awkwardly shaped), especially for a foldable shoe.

The potential negative is that I don't know if they're made for constant/everyday wear. They seem to be very well constructed from high-quality materials, but just by nature of the foldable design I imagine that in time, the part of the sole that isn't covered with rubber would start to get worn down by pavement/etc, and I don't think you would want to wear these in inclement weather (again because of the split-sole). And, of course, because one of the main features of the shoes is their ability to fold away as compactly as possible (and they do that VERY well--they don't take up very much room at all), you're going to lose out on things like arch support and extra padding in the footbed. But then again, a lot of other ballet flats have those issues too!

I found them to be incredibly comfortable; they don't dig in anywhere, and I walked around outside for hours before my feet started to feel a little tired from constantly pounding the pavement without a whole lot of cushioning/support.

And last, anyone who's bought Bloch shoes knows that the sizing can be a bit odd--the shoes are usually smaller than expected. Since everyone's feet are different it's hard for me to give a specific recommendation, but I generally wear a 38 in Bloch (my usual size is 7.5, and I have a wide foot) and that's what I ordered in these. They did feel a bit snug at first, but just like actual ballet shoes, the pliable leather relaxes and molds to your foot very quickly. I think you'd be better starting off just a wee bit snug than getting them too big.

I love the contrast between the patent leather and the microfiber and the silver buckle adds a nice touch to this shoe.  I bought these shoes for work and they can be paired with a pensil skirt or a nice pair of slacks.  This brand never disappoints and is well worth the money.  I would recommend.

I order one size smaller than street shoe size for my daughter who is a serious ballet student, and they fit exactly.  My daughter goes through ballet shoes very quickly, but theses last longer than most.  They fit nicely and mold very well to the foot.  I only buy Bloch ballet shoes now since the others wear out so quickly.

I am a long-time Berkinstock wearer and these do not disappoint. Berkinstock arch support is unbeatable; I have many pairs and am in the all day long. I have a wide foot and the regular width fits well. But, in truth, they can be a bit unattractive.

This toe-ring style is very pretty. I do not like thong sandals (even Berkis) because of the pressure they create between my toes. This shoe is comfortable because it is held on the foot by the ring around the toe rather than a strap between toes. The Mocha is a nice neutral color, but in all honesty I would have preferred them in the Habana Oiled Leather. (They were sold out.). However, I expect to get lots of wear from these. I would definitely buy them again.
