This is a great dance sneaker from Bloch. The ad said to order (I believe, without looking) 1/2 to 1 size larger. I have purchased Bloch dance sneakers before. So I knew my 9.5 street-size feet needed and 11.5 in the Bloch. Just sharing that in case it's helpful for someone else.
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.
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 can execute turns with ease in these shoes! There’s no need to put dance socks over these shoes. Ordered one full size larger and they fit perfectly.
Good quality and just what I was looking for to replace similar 5 yr old dance shoes. Usually wear a size 8 but ordered size 9 per others recommendation. It fits but a bit too long in the toe area. Would try an 8 1/2 next time.
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 ordered a size larger than normal per all the reviews I read. They still did not fit.
