Bloch Dance Women's Elasta Bootie Leather and Elastic Split Sole Jazz Shoe

My daughter’s favorite shoe with her wider feet. The only shoe she will wear.

My 11 year old daughter dances and until this point only wore Bloch tap, jazz, ballet and character shoes because they came in narrow and fit her perfectly. We owned these jazz shoes in black and needed a tan color for a recital so we ordered the same size in tan. The sizing on this has been CRAZY in the tan. She is a women's 5.5 very narrow, so we ordered a 7.5N to give some growth room over the 7.0N we own. WAY too big and wide. Then the 7.0N and the 6.5N were both huge. These are supposed to be narrow and the toe area is so wide it would be comical if I didn't have to send back multiple pairs of these shoes. We also had difficulty with Bloch narrow character shoes being too wide that we've ordered for years. Is it a narrow size issue? If you have regular width foot or wide toes, you might try the narrow because it should fit you perfectly. This is going back.

This is a tight fitting shoe not really designed for socks. I recommend you buy 1.5 - 2 sizes up if you want to wear with socks. You will feel like you are dancing on the floor directly, FYI (since the toes are just a piece of leather).

I use to wear these dance shoes all the time when I taught and performed years ago. I tried purchasing the medium width at another store, recently, because they didn't have narrow. Had to return them because they were too big. The narrow hugs my feet and feels perfect and I do not have narrow feet, they are actually a bit wide. I wear a size 6.5- 7 shoe and buy these in a 7.

My daughter wears an 8. So I was concerned about size and if it will be a true fit. I ordered 8-1/2. Just in case, they fit with some wiggle room. So this slipper is a perfect fit. 8 would ad fit her perfect. The slippers are very well made and look great. I can't believe the price was this low. Fast shipping. Will definitely purchase here again.

My 8-year old has tried on many shoes and this is the only one she will wear. She likes the elastic on the side rather than on top, as she says it feels better. An the Bloch shoe seems to have a deeper arch. But beware: these shoes do run small (as with most dance shoes). She normally wears a 3 in girl's shoes, or 5 1/2 in women's, and she currently wears a 6 1/2 in this shoe. I recommend order a size larger than your normal shoe. Otherwise, these are great!

For those wondering about size: These fit well, size like my daughter's street shoes. I bought 4.5 and she is currently wearing that size shoe. Her last year's Bloch Elasta child sized jazz shoes were sized 4.0 and were incredibly too small. I only went up a half size because I followed the advice to buy your daughter's street shoes size

My daughter loves these jazz shoes. The fit is excellent, with the right amount of grip to prevent slipping but allow multiple turns. She dances 10+ hours each week and we generally purchase one new pair a year. Great shoe that is durable and long lasting.

Ordered these for my daughter as she already had a pair of Bloch shoes. She loved them. I actually bought them “used” on here and they came in perfect condition.

Very comfortable I went with my shoe size and they fit perfectly.

Always a great jazz bootie. Had no issue and was so much easier ordering on line than making an appt to go get fitted

Exactly the same as in dance stores. I got them on prime day and saved $30

As described and good quality shoe
