Runs very large and narrow
My daughter is between a 10.5 and 11 in little kids regular shoes and I ordered both sizes. They were both huge on her. Sized down again to a 10, smaller than her shoe size and still too large. Tried a 9.5 and they are still too long, but now too narrow to be comfortable. Seems like a quality shoe, just won’t fit well unless you have narrow feet.

Good quality, narrow fit.
This shoe is really narrow. However, the quality is great. My daughter wears a size 2 street shoe, and a 12 1/2 in this shoe. I was expecting this difference, but her previous shoe was not as difficult to get on. Would be impossible to slide on without tights on.

Fits true to size.
True to size based on size chart. Wears same size as street shoes. Excellent product. No doubt it’ll last for the entire year of her dance class. We have been using Bloch tap shoes and they are great quality too!

Ordered these, based on previous reviews, half a size big and they are perfect. My daughter couldn’t stop dancing after she put them on. The leather is nice and soft. My only complaint and it’s not a big deal but the shoe box they were in got squished bc it was shipped in a bag instead of shipping box.

Way too small and tight.
The shoes wouldn’t even come close to fitting my daughter. I ordered up a size and were too narrow and small.

Good shoes but runs small.
These were for my granddaughter’s dance class. They were somewhat tight but she decided to go with them anyway, hoping they would stretch out after wearing a bit. She likes them well. I would definitely buy them again but I would go up a half size just in case. They are good shoes for Jazz dance.

Half size down worked for us
Nice quality Jazz shoe but I initially bought much too large. My daughter is 6 and wears a size 13 sneaker.. After a few returns (thank goodness for Amazon Prime), she finally has a 12 1/2 in these that fit comfortably with a little room to grow.

Very nice.
Update: Yikes!!! I ordered two pair of Bloch jazz shoes from the warehouse. Two different sizes. They looked the same to me upon arrival. My granddaughter refused to wear the first pair she tried on yesterday evening. That review is below. Today she wanted to try the other pair. They fit and she likes them. Then she proceeded to show me how the two pairs are different. The pair she likes have the Bloch logo inside the shoe. The first pair she tried on did not have the Bloch logo. The color was not quite identical and the seam lines are not the same. The toe on the unbranded shoes is gathered, not smoothly wrapped under the toe. I would include pictures if that option was still available. We received one pair that is NOT a Bloch jazz shoe. In fact, it does not have any brand name on it anywhere. The size is stamped where the logo should go inside the shoe. I have updated my review to five stars. The Blotch shoes are very nice.Original review: My granddaughter has always loved her jazz shoes. It was time to go bigger. These are a different brand than I have purchased in the past. I purchased these from the warehouse. They fit. BUT, the seam that goes around the arch and under her foot, was uncomfortable and she couldn’t get them off fast enough. She informed me they are uncomfortable and she will not wear them. Perhaps they were returned to the warehouse because of a defect on the seam? Or perhaps the seam placement makes this style less comfortable. They look fine to me and seem to be the correct size. [These turned out to be another brand, not Bloch.]I have reordered jazz shoes in a different style for her to try. Unfortunately, these will be returned. The warehouse price was great. I really wanted these to work. Oh well.

Runs a bit large
These were purchased for a GD who is beginning jazz dance classes. I read through many reviews and purchased two different brands of shoes. I ordered a size 12 1/2 in this brand and the GD wears a size 13 in regular tennis shoes. These fit just a tad long but the width is perfect and they do not slip off her feet. She will hopefully be able to wear these the full year. They appear to be well made and are soft and comfortable for her.

QUALITY, FIT, COMFORT, & STYLE WITH THE BONUS OF PROMPT DELIVERY
Perfect fit, great quality! My daughter takes ballet, tap, and jazz and Bloch is well known for dance shoes. I do reccomend finding out if the dance school has used versions or even Kid to Kid or other thrift stores because they are a little pricy for a kid with growing feet.

Bought this for my daughter’s dance class. The fit was just right with a little bit of growing room. The material gives her enough room to use comfortably.We’ve bought dance shoes by Bloch a few times and their quality is very good. These will definitely last until she outgrows them.

Run large but otherwise no complaints
I ordered these for my daughter to take dance class, and like tap shoes, I heard these ran big. I guessed the same for both shoe types and ordered a size up. These definitely run large, to the point that you can see where her toes are and the edge of the shoe is flat. They’re not the easiest to get on and I’m worried if we size down much she’ll just outgrow them quickly, and she doesn’t seem to mind the extra toe space, so we’re making these work. Otherwise I’m happy with the quality, just hoping they make it to class at the rate she’s wearing them around the house!

Cheaper than the studio
Got them for my daughters jazz class. The studio sells them at twice the price for the same exact shoes. We tried shoes in the studio, so we knew what size to get. My daughter wears a size 12 shoe with a little growing room and this is the same. She has a little thicker foot, but not quite a wide width and they are not too tight with socks. If you have a thin foot, they would have been too big and we would have needed an 11 or 11.5 in the shoe.

My daughter dances in these endless hours and I have only needed to replace them as her feet grow. They are a great quality and a purchase I will continue to make as she dances throughout the years.

Great Quality
Soft leather jazz shoes. My 6 year old daughter wears these for jazz class once a week. They will conform to your dancers feet after a few times being worn. This style of jazz shoe is great for narrow feet. I’d buy a 1/2 size smaller.

Sizing is very screwy
My daughter has small, narrow feet for a kid her age (size 10 street shoe and she’s about to turn 7). When she started jazz a year and a half ago, we bought her a generic pair of jazz shoes in size 9 that lasted her this whole time. But now it’s obvious she’s cramming her foot in them, and since jazz is quickly becoming one of her favorite classes, I decided to get her the teacher’s recommended jazz shoe, which was the Bloch neo flex. The website we ordered from said to order a half size up from her street shoe size, but since she was most recently in a size 9, I went with her actual size, a 10. When we received them, she claimed that one was bigger than the other. I compared them from the bottom lining them up at the heels, and she was totally right. So I returned them to the company that sent them, and they sent us a new pair. BUT, before the other pair could get to us, my daughter made a comment, “even if both shoes are the same size, they’re both still a little too big.” Well that particular Bloch kids shoe doesn’t come in a size smaller than a 10. So I looked to the same brand for smaller jazz shoes and found these for the same price, but slightly different color (which I wasn’t expecting), and different style in terms of elastic fabric material. I called Bloch to make sure that it made sense to order these super jazz shoes in a 9.5 since the size 10 in the neo flex was a hair too big, and they said yes.We just got them today and we also just received the replacement neo flex today also. My daughter tried on the super jazz shoes and could barely squeeze her foot in them, but once they were on, they were nearly an inch too long. Ordering a smaller size would not make sense because there’s no way we would be able to fit them on her. The Bloch neo flex size 10 are only about 1/4 inch too long, and much easier to put on, so she’s just going to put up with that. Compared side by side, the Bloch size 10 neo flex are noticeably shorter than the Bloch size 9.5 super jazz.

Comfortable & fit great
I purchased these for my 7 year old to wear to dance class. She is an 11 in regular shoes (small feet) & these fit her perfectly. She said they were very comfortable. I’d been hesitant to buy online as the reviews seemed mixed on the fit, but we didn’t have any issues. Her feet are medium width. For us, buying the same size as her regular shoe size was perfect.They seem well made, flexible, and comfortable so a win-win! We’ve purchased other Bloch shoes (ballet & tap) and have never had an issue.They always manage to last through her Sept-May dance season just in time for her feet to grow enough to have to buy new shoes for the recital (never fails lol).

This is the 2nd pair I have bought of these, and so far they haven’t let me down. I do however recomend 1/2 size larger just so they will last 1 entire year. We actually got almost 2 out of the 1st pair and they never got any holes in them. They are now passed down to my daughters cousin and holding strong.

A little tough to get on, but great quality
It’s a little tricky getting a wiggly preschoolers foot into these shoes, but that’s true of any jazz shoe of this style. They are great quality and gender neutral (so perfect for my son). He wears a 9.5 in street shoes and the 10 gives him plenty of room to grow without being too big.

I ordered one size larger based on reviews and they are actually a tad bit big for my daughter. She has narrow feet and a high instep. I will just keep and put cotton in the toes until she fully grows into them. I feel like I need the larger size just to get her foot into the shoe because of her instep.

5 or 12 but can easily fit into the 11 size in these
These are the dance shoes my daughter’s studio requires. I can buy them much cheaper online than from the studio or local dance shop. I would suggest sizing these in person though. She is wearing street size 11.5 or 12 but can easily fit into the 11 size in these. They hold up well.

SHOES SHIPPED IN A ZIPLOCK BAG!
The shoes were shipped in a zip lock bag! Ridiculous! As much as we pay for this shoe, it should’ve been in a box. Plus, the shoes is so tight and hard to put on. I even ordered one size up.
