Bloch Dance Women's Spin II Stretch Canvas Teaching/Lyrical Ballet Shoe

My daughter really likes the feel of these with the softer surrounding straps and little stickier parts that keep the elastic in place, and the large turning base on the sole, but she does find the toe area a little big. The fact that these can be washed makes me happy and we feel that the washing could shrink them up perfectly. I also think the toe box shape makes your feet look really good - can't explain it really, but it sort of makes the toes look tidy and the point look better. We'll see how durable they are - I know other reviewers said that they wore a hole in them on the first day... Hope this doesn't happen for my daughter.

These are one of my favorite (if not my fav) dance shoes ever! Very comfortable and cute. The toe area is wide enough that it doesn’t squeeze. The elastic keeps the shoe securely in place. I also like that there is a “R” and “L” for right and left shoe.

These are awesome! I also have a pair by Bloch in leather, which I did love, but I got a size too small, so they really start to ride back and crunch my toes. if you are on the larger size of the range for your size, go up a size. This style of show just tends to ride back anyway, which is why you may want to go a size bigger. I wear a 7.5 street shoe(USA) and I bought a large and they are perfect!! So, they did fit as expected, but only because my teacher told me to get a size bigger because of the shifting. So, I guess they technically run small.The sticky rubber elastic is awesome too, never slips and is super comfortable. At first when you see the shoes and put them on, it seems like the toes are ENORMOUS! but don't panic, because they "shrink" or mutate or whatever to fit your toes very quickly. I usually prefer leather shoes, but these canvas shoes are really nice. Thick and strong canvas, and you can wash them, which is huge! No one wants stinky dancer feet! Gross! haha!

Good dance shoe. Bloch makes nice products.

I really prefer the open-toe version, but BLOCH discontinued my favorite design. These work well and have lasted through 6+ hours of ballet / modern class and rehearsals per week for about 10 months. 4 stars because the straps sometimes slip off your heals (and I have HUGE calluses from when I used to dance on pointe) and because there's no ventilation for my sweaty toes lolThe elastic that goes around the toe-box is a little tight at first, but loosened up after 2-3 wears.

This item came quickly and fit great. My daughter has ordered these shoes several times and they hold up well for a lot of dancing. Highly recommend.

Not impressed. I had high hopes for these but I’m not super impressed. The sizing is all wrong. It says on the bottom of the shoe it is a medium but that it is a large on the side of the shoe. Overall the fit is off and the quality is not the greatest. Unfortunately I have to return.

These are just as they say. I do think they run a little big but I think it's because they don't come in number sizes, just small, med, and large. It makes it difficult when you have a foot size right on the border of their sizes.They are soft and good quality.

When I first got this product, I loved it. The shoes are my skin tone and fit more or less perfectly (although a little on the small side). However I was furious to discover that the shoes wore out within the very first day of wearing them and my toes began to peak out. They also were uncomfortable around my foot and the elastics rubbed, making dancing nearly impossible. Very disappointed because I spent my own money on a useless product. I doubt that I will bother purchasing another type of dance shoes in a long time

True to size. Just the job for daughter who is very particular with her dance attire!Good quality. Worth the price.

Bought for my daughter - they’re just what she needed.

My daughter takes a variety of ballet classes. In the past she has used leather turner shoes that were very still and ripped/ cracked easily. These are cushioned and have worn very well. Easily washed too. True to size. Would definitely buy these when she needs a bigger size.

As expected and fits like the ones I buy in store. Will definitely buy these again!
