Very nice shoe
My story is that I am a nearly 50 year old male who has never even thought of tap dancing, however since Covid started, I have found myself trying to make myself a more well rounded, healthier person in various ways. I heard that some pro athletes were taking tap dancing lessons to further their athleticism. Hence, my rather whimsical purchase of these Bloch shoes.I bought them on the "try free" program of Amazon's, so I figured there was little to lose. The first impression was the wonderful smell of leather. I haven't had leather shoes in eons and these filled the general area of the house with that unmistakable smell. The leather is very supple and the shoes are definitively flexible at the midfoot.After much deliberation (and the Amazon return deadline looming) I decided to just put them on and hope this would not be another short-term thing where I use the shoes a couple times then never again....bottom line is I have really taken to the you tube lessons so far. The shoes have been wonderful and honestly I can't really believe such a nice pair of finely crafted specialty shoes made from obviously high quality leather can be made for under $100. So happy I made the purchase. I am still developing my fundamentals because it takes me a long time at my age to learn anything new, but I have learned that a firm grasp of the fundamentals is critical for anything.Also, if you are looking for a cheap "dance floor" I purchased a box of the engineer hardwood flooring at Costco, and it has stood up nicely to the pounding so far...I am actually thinking of converting a whole room to this flooring so I have more room to do my thing!I really can't recommend these shoes any higher based on the quality and price.

Excellent shoes for tap.
These shoes work perfect and are very comfortable. It is correct to follow the sizing recommendations to get on size smaller. Made a nice difference in enjoying my tap dancing class.

Great for women’s feet too
I’m a woman with wide feet so I decided to buy the men’s top shoe. These are so comfortable and flexible. I bought a size 6.5 men’s and I normally wear a women’s 8.5 or 40 in European. It fit perfectly!

Order full size down
I first ordered a size 13 but the fit was much larger than I expected (with 13 being my street size). I sent them back (return no problem) and immediately ordered a 12, praying they weren’t too small. They were tight. However after tapping for about an hour, these shoes are so comfortable! The fit is so perfect that I don’t want to take them off. I’m getting compliments on the sound of the tap, which is very clear . 10/10

According to my dancing grandson . . . .
I purchased these as a Christmas gift for my grandson. He told me these shoes are the best gift he has ever received. I wish he was writing this because he could say it better . . . but he told me the sound of the taps is exactly what he needed. He said more too about how great the leather and fit are. I guess you will have to take my word that I have a delighted grandson.
