Bloch Dance Women's Prolite II Split Sole Leather Ballet Slipper/Shoe

We use this specific ballet shoe for ballet and this size was a great fit.

Perfect ballet slippers for me. Just enough give to mold to foot, comfortable, just supportive enough, fits like glove. I generally wear a size 8 US in other shoes. I purchased 51/2 C in these and they are perfect. Note: please read my review to the Bloch canvas ballet slippers if you are considering getting those.

I have pretty much tried on 15 pairs of ballet shoes on and off Amazon to get the right ones! I am a size 7 street size with medium foot width. I ordered these in 5.5 B and they were a little tight at first in the toe area but they have been stretching out. I also tried on 5.5A and there was a bit more room the front of the toes but the side was too narrow. I suggest buying a variety of sizes to try on all at once if you have Prime membership anyway - Amazon's service is great and the refunds are prompt. I love ordering on Amazon. I also went to a Capezio store to try on Capezio and ended up getting a pair of Juliet. So with this Bloch Prolite in black and the Capezio's Juliet in pink I am all geared to start taking ballet! :) Right now I am wearing these Prolite ballet slippers around the home to get used to them. They smell, fit and look great!The elastics do come sewn on only one end so you will have to do the other side yourself - I measured the straps (crossed-over X) to a place on the sides where the slippers gape the most when I flex my feet and after the elastics are drawn. Make sure you sew close to the lining of the inside of the shoe, and not onto the elastic. It's not hard and when you're finished it feels great! The slipper will look and fit better too.

Starting up ballet as an adult. Read through so many reviews to figure out sizing. Ended up going by the sizing chart but ordered 2 sizes to compare. I’m an 8.5-9. I ordered the 6.5 and 6 and ended up keeping the 6 for a tighter fit. The 6.5 fits but once you point it creates a lot of extra space that I assume you don’t want when dancing. The 6 was perfect and will probably even stretch some due to the leather. Quality seems very good and elastics are comfortable. I love them!

My bad, when I read they run "true to size" and that I should order my "usual size," I incorrectly inferred they meant my street shoe size (37 - in American sizes, I am too big for a 6.5 and not quite a 7 - the European 37 fits me better for whatever reason... in Dr Martens, I wear a UK 4, translates to a US 6 - they run big, though, and I can wear a UK 5 with thick socks also). I have worn this slipper for dance for at least two decades, and it is by far my most preferred flat slipper. I love the leather version, the split sole makes my arch prettier, and they are an all around great shoe. But this pair I ordered on my incorrect assumption that sizing had been changed to be consistent with American shoe sizes must go back. They are entirely too long. It has been a while since I've bought shoes for myself for dance... I had an old pair in good shape which I thankfully found for my class today; they are a 5B. Again, my street shoe size in US sizes is roughly a 7, more than a 6.5, and I am a 37 in European sizes. I think the size chart on the page, which I should have checked first, says I would take a Bloch 4B. NO way. Acc to that chart, the size that fits corresponds to an American women's 8. I have never worn an 8, I'm a whole size smaller. With the 5B, the slipper is completely filled by my foot, as it should be. the 4B would cause my toes to be curled up.

Love the split sole and the fit. Use for ballet classes.

Well made.

I wore my previous pair three times a week in class for the last eight years. They are comfortable and last a long time.

Ya había comprado de otras marcas, pero se nota la diferencia de calidad con éstas. Son súper cómodas y son hermosas!!! Me ENCANTAN. Pedí media talla más grande por los comentarios en la publicación (soy 24 cm, pedí 25.5) y me quedaron grandes, pero con los elásticos se ajustan bastante bien. Igual, hubiera preferido comprar mi talla normal.

Colour, Sizing, Quality and correct width.Really pretty slippers that fit well. You forget you’re wearing them!I will Order these again because I love them.KH.

Juste parfait! Vraiment vous fier à la charte de grandeur. Je prends du 7 et j'ai commandé du 4,5!!

The slippers run large so I went with a smaller size and they fit perfectly

I love these ballet shoes. It is true I had to return the first pair. I followed the other reviews, but that was not good for me. I wear size 7 ½ and I first tried 5 ½ and they were much too small. So I returned and tried a 7. These are absolutely OK. So in my case the Bloch size is like half a number different. I think the second ones are C. I don't understand the letters. I have normal feet, more narrow than wide. These C shoes may be a bit larger but if I use the shoe lace it's really OK. I ordered C as they were cheaper than A or B. ( Prices and vendors varies a lot between sizes).It's better to wear socks as the leather is soft and easy to poke a hole with the toe nail.I use these shoes for some ballet classes and are great.
