BlochWomen's Performa Dance Shoe

I am a competitive dancer taking 3 ballet classes every week and these are my favorite ballet shoes ever!!It is very soft and very comfortable and makes your feet look amazing. It is perfect for dance floors and even on carpet!! The fit is very nice and I love the stretchy elastics around the arch instead of the ones with strings that you have to tie.One thing about this product, these shoes run larger than expected. I got them a size smaller than my street shoe size so make sure to order many sizes and try them out!!But these shoes will not slip off your feet and improved my turns a LOT! It has cushioning on the bottom and supports your feet very nicely.I was wearing these shoes while writing this review but it felt so comfortable, they're almost like supportive socks!!! So if you want good ballet shoes, get these NOW!!!

I’m normally a women’s 8 or an 8 1/2 with wide feet so I followed the size chart and bought a 6W. They’re a little snug but it’s perfect for class. Great quality. I get the feeling these will last a while.

I ordered 4 diff ballet slippers to try on (2 Stella's and another Bloch), and this one fit the best: material was soft but sturdy, canvas wasn't too thick, when foot points, the material doesn't bunch out, it bends with the foot. The slit padding did have a slightly slidy traction, but still grippy enough not slide around.I have a slight bunion on one foot so I wanted to find a slipper that didn't feel like it was making it worse. This had good shape with some space for my toes, but wasn't too much excess fabric.SIZE: I went according to the size chart picture they had above the product description. I measured about 9.4" long, so about 38-39 EU size, then according to that EU size on their size chart picture, I went with EU 39, which was a 6 for Bloch. 6wide is good for me (bc bunion).I'll keep this one and return the others.

I like this shoe a lot. No round elastic channel makes them a bit more comfortable but they feel more traditional than shoes with very elastic panels etc. They look polished and nice. I’m not a huge fan of the fact that the ankle elastic is pre-sewn BUT it hasn’t caused me any pain and I don’t feel a need to rip out the sturdy machine seam to move the elastic only slightly.Okay so fit. I wear a 7 women’s shoe. Since gaining some weight, by high arch foot has been uncomfortable in many shoes and I often size up to an 8 or even an 8.5 just to have less pressure over the top of my foot even if the 8 is too long.I have always found ballet shoes in the equivalent of a 7 a little bit restrictive for spreading my toes. I have tapered greek toes (Morton’s toe), and the ball of my foot is the widest part of my foot. So, wide greek feet. I often feel like I’m either on my big toe only or on my other toes only on relève. I sized up to a 6 instead of a 5 in these because my toes need a lot of room to work!The sizing up may have also saved me from having issues with the pre-sewn elastic given my fat feet. The elastic is just very slightly tighter than I would have sewn it myself.The “canvas” stretches most perpendicular to the lines in the fabric, so diagonally across the top of the foot. I attached a picture showing the fabric for clarity. This material stretches just a little bit in all directions but is not at all some totally stretchy spandex or something. It still feels mostly rigid, but is softer and thinner than many canvas shoes I have had, so I expect they will be a little less durable. The diagonal stretch of the fabric is perfect for giving my toes room to spread.The pleats are not bothersome at all with this thinner fabric. The leather pad on the ball of the foot feels a little farther back than in my Sanshas and Capezios, but this could be because I sized up. In any case, it is in a perfectly fine place.I really like these shoes and find them a nice change from really rigid canvas without feeling or looking like a hybrid shoe. The elastic around the top is more comfortable than raw string elastic as less obviously different than other types. If you want a more modern shoe without a modern look (or if your teacher abhors a hybrid shoe look!) these might be a good buy for you. I find them mostly flattering, although the pre-sewn elastic is a drawback to look and feel. Would be 5 stars if the elastic was not pre-sewn, or even if it had an inch of extra so it could be let out and sewn longer.

Was in desperate need of a new pair of ballet shoes and these are perfect!!! They are soft and comfortable and are really nice on the feet/floor when dancing. Also make your point look super nice!!!

Great brand, true to fit! Canvas material is very flexible. Perfect shade, match my daughter perfectly!

The fit is nice and the pros use these. Plus you don't have to deal with political agendas getting mixed in (like Capezio now features a man when you look up womens fishnets & their social media is filled with ridiculous ideological propaganda as well). No thank you. This lesbian is sticking with Bloch from now on!

Before these I tried the much cheaper Capezio Daisy slippers; those felt plasticky like there was no hope of stretching. I returned those. These felt good on my feet immediately.I bought a 5.5 with 9.75" long and 4" wide feet, sizing up intentionally (I'm normally a 6WW in street shoes), and I think a 5 would have been a slightly tighter fit (I haven't danced in these yet), but the 5.5 seems like it'll be fine as well.The elastic is a little snug but I imagine it'll stretch.

La talla es tricky. En México soy 25cm, en USA soy 8. En Europa a veces 38 a veces 39. Según la tablita, correspondían las 24 y esas pedí. Me llegaron unas que dicen 7C. Me quedan bien. Justas pero bien. Veremos como aguantan la clase o si tendré que subir de talla.

Me quedaron super bien, están muy bonitas y se adaptan al pie, lo que hace que luzcan más los pies. Definitivamente volvería a comprarlas.

A mi hija le encantó la textura y el color , son super cómodas para su clase de ballet ,la talla llegó exacta y llegó dos días antes de lo establecido .

Me encantan, son muy cómodas porque se amoldan perfectamente a tu pie y la base amplia me ayuda a sentir mejor el piso. Tal vez la única desventaja es que al ser delgadas se desgastan más rápido que otras pero tampoco es rapidísimo, ya que tienen un forro blanco que ayuda con eso.

La lona es muy suave pero resistente, tengo unas so danca y el color de estas y la calidad es mucho mejor, sin embargo la plantilla se ve un poco simple, de ahí en fuera me gustaron mucho, llevo varios meses usándolas, soy número 5mx y esas me quedaron excelentes
