Women's Criss Cross Dance Shoe

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!

I love my old Bloch shoes so much that I searched to find the closest match. I knew to order 1 1/2 sizes larger and my recently purchased shoes fit fine. The shoe is not comfortable though because the sole is so flat, no cushion at all between my foot and the floor. Also no arch support. Can’t use them for dance. Inserted a thick sole which helps a little, and use them for yard work. Walking in them is like wearing a $10 pair of sneakers from a discount store. I’ve even wondered if these are knock-offs.

Listen to reviews about sizing! My feet are a little bit wide. I usually wear women’s 10, so I ordered 11 and 11.5 to see which fit. The 11.5 fit perfectly!If your feet are narrow, go up one full size. But if you tend to have slightly wider feet, go up 1.5 sizes!

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 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.

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.

Definitely go at least 2 sizes bigger, as everyone says. I’m a size 9 and needed an 11. They’re comfortable, but I would like it to be a bit more structured. The mesh is light but I feel it could benefit from being a bit more supportive. Overall very happy, but do order 2 sizes up or you’ll be reordering!

I'm using these shoes for zumba classes. I normally wear a 7.5 but did go up a full size per the recommendations and they fit like a glove. They are more stretchy than regular gym shoes and fit quite comfortably. My Zumba instructor includes a lot more dance moves, jumping, etc than is typical for Zumba and I find these shoes are great for fluidity of movement but, due to no support, tend to be hard on my feet. Perhaps I'm still getting used to them.

These fit well are comfortable and enable good movement like spinning and pointing when dancing. The tongue in these sneakers is wide in proportion to the shoe. That’s not dissimilar to other dance sneakers in the same price range. This spoils the look but seems to be the way they are these days I.e not as nice as they used to look.

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.

I purchased these shoes for line dancing and they are very comfortable. As stated by others, I ordered one size larger than I take...my size is normally 7.5 and I ordered 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I have been using these shoes on a tile and a dance studio floor and it is very easy to dance with these shoes.

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. _:(

Leider fallen die Dancesneaker viel zu klein aus, keine richtige Passform und nach Größenangabe kann man leider auch nicht gehen. Selbst fast zwei Nummern größer passen immer noch nicht. Ist echt nervig.
