Great for price!
Got these for my daughter who is taking a beginning ballet class for college. Perfect for her needs.Wasn't sure from the website if sizing was "American Shoe" or "Dance Sizing", so got both. DANCE SIZING was correct (she wears an 8.5 regular shoe, 6.5 ballet shoe was the right one. 8.5's will go back)Very happy with the price and quality of this purchase

Favorite practice pumps.
I've bought these exact dance slippers three times now. I hope Bloch never stops making them. Love the split sole for the "arch". Very comfy and customizable to your foot. Remember that these are not your street sizes - order about 2 sizes smaller.

2 sizes down definitely works!
I've been doing research on what ballet slippers to order for dayyyyys. And after reading countless reviews, I decided on these Bloch ballet slippers. Three or more reviewers said that they ordered slippers that were 2 1/2 sizes smaller than their street shoe size and that they fit well, so I did the same. These slippers literally JUST fit, so there is NO extra space at all. And I never buy wide shoes, but in addition to larger sized slippers (6 or 6 1/2), I'm wondering if I need wider slippers as well. I ordered a 5 1/2 M/B, and I am an 8 Regular. The slippers just come up around the sides of my foot so I don't know. Buying ballet slippers without having the chance to try them on is very stressful. Luckily I had two-day shipping so that these came really quickly, because I need these slippers for a technique class for school and I am going back to college in two weeks. I will be printing out a return label and ordering a different size ASAP.**UPDATE**: Returned the 5.5 B and got a 6 B. DEFINITELY feels better. But as I had suspected the sides still don't go up the sides of my foot enough that I would need the slipper to be wider. I had thought that I would need a wider slipper, but a C would probably be perfect and even though Amazon says "C/D" a reviewer says that she received a D, and D would definitely be too wide and I enjoy my two-day shipping. Therefore, the 6 B will have to do. I'll try to update again once I actually use these!

Sizing is weird but great ballet shoes
My daughter had to have tan ballet shoes for her recital. Went to the dance supply store and they tried a size 5 on her (according to her shoe size). They were a bit snug. Of course they didn't have the next size up (a 6) so they tried size 7 which were huge. So I found the size 6 on Amazon. While they for like I epxected I found the sizing to be weird. My 10 year old daughter wears like a 5 in kids, or anywhere from a 6-7 in ladies. Her Block jazz shoes are a 7.5 so it seems weird that she needed a 6 in the ballet shoes. But they fit great with a little room to grow.

Bloch
Bloch is known for really comfortable ballet shoes. I am a size 7 or 7.5 in some regular shoes so size 6.5 C fit me perfect (apparenly they run big in canvas). Only would have liked for them to come pre-sewn. Also cheaper on Amazon than my local ballet store. I went in to get fitted in this exact slipper at my local store which cost more so knew my size and ordered on here for much cheaper. Arches look great in these! Great spin control as I don't spin out of control in these. I only wear bloch as they are the most comfortable.
