Excellent for women with wide feet - great quality - good sound - comfortable
I wear a women's 9 wide width E size shoe, and the women's Bloch tap shoe was too narrow. So I bought the men's shoe in a size 8 and it's a perfect fit. I have narrow heels compared to the wide front of my foot, so I was worried the heels of these shoes might slip off, but they don't. They're very comfortable and make a fantastic sound. The tap dance teacher noticed it the first class, that I was making a better, more definitive sound than with my first set of cheaper tap shoes. They're also just beautiful to look at and I'm proud to be wearing them in class. I saw other, similar quality shoes selling for $350 or more.

Fits true to size!
Great shoe that fits true to size! Even though I am a beginner the tap sounds are great and these require little to no break in!

Excellent, well-made shoes.
I first used another more popular, less expensive brand, but the heel came off within nine months of use. After some research, I found that Bloch were highly recommended.These are excellent tap shoes. They are well-made (they have been used heavily for almost two years, and they still look great) and have a nice weight. They make clean, distinct taps. I highly recommend these!

Love These!
These tap shoes are fantastic and well worth the money. I absolutely LOVE them. They’re a fair bit heavier than most taps because they have very large taps, thicker wood base, and a more robust toe box. As a result, they take a bit of getting used to and a couple days to break in, but once you adjust to them, they produce a crystal clear, deeper sound when dancing that is really impressive.They also come with separate rubber grips, which you’ll want to take to a cobbler if you want them installed properly without damaging the shoes.

Professional Tap Shoes
These are super high quality professional tap shoes. There’s almost no difference between the men’s & the women’s in this style - just fyi. Buy them based on your foot measurement & you should be good. These are leather & though they’re pretty stiff when you first get them, they’re very comfortable after being broken in & will last for years. JSams are heavier than beginniner shoes & produce an amazing sound. They even have really great resale value in case your tapper out grows them

Sizing for women
I wear a women's 8.5/9 street shoe with a slightly wide foot and had the ladies Jason Samuel's in a size 9.5. The men's size 7 fit me great! These taps make a real difference compared to more affordable pairs. The sound definitely makes them worth the expense (especially if you catch your size on sale like I did)! I bought my first pair in 2021 and danced in them probably 6 hours a week at minimum and they lasted me until I bought this pair, almost 4 years! Worth the money and a joy to tap in 😃
