BlochWomen's Pulse Dance Shoe

I've been a dance instructor/studio owner since 1993. I've been wearing these for years and I love them! They fit perfectly the way I want them to fit. I like my dance shoes tight out of the box because, if they are of any quality, they will stretch to fit my foot which is EXACTLY what I want. I can go a couple of classes with some discomfort until they break in, but with these it's very minimal. The upper molds to my foot like a glove after just a few classes. Every part of the shoe that touches your skin is padded in some way. The neoprene keeps them from stretching permanently to be too long. The last thing I want in a dance shoe is extra space: this is where sliding around in them can cause blistering and extra material at the toe can get in the way and trip me (believe me, I don't need help tripping!). The darts accent the arch so beautifully! Even my dancers whose point isn't as strong have pretty feet in these.So answering some questions that have been asked:What size should I buy?Do you like your dance shoes to fit snug or loose and what do you wear them for? I like a tight fit so I wear an 8.5 in athletic shoes and buy these in 8.5. I'm actually a 9 in dress shoes, heels, or boots, but these jazz shoes eventually mold to my foot so the 8.5 is perfect and allows for some eventual give to my wide feet (at the metatarsals). At that size my toes hit the end of the shoe which is what I personally want. If you like room and you (or your child) is taking maybe 2 recreational classes a week then you could probably just stick with the usual street shoe size. If you (or your child) is competing and taking several hours of classes per week, it would be best to talk to the instructor about what they prefer.How long do these last?Again, it depends on what you need them for. My senior competition team (around 10-12 competitions per year) can go through a few pair per dance season. That's normal with ANY dance shoe that takes heavy wear. However, my recreational classes can make it the entire year without having to buy a second pair unless they just outgrow them. They do have a more sturdy pad on the ball of the foot than other jazz shoes which is the place I find that most other shoes fail first. With these it's usually the big toe busting through the top but by then we've gotten more than enough wear from them.Do they have a lot of support?No, but that's not what dance shoes are for. Dancers need strong feet and too much support can keep them from developing that strength. Think of jazz shoes as a good second protective skin. They aren't street shoes and are meant for wear only on dance surfaces. So they can't be compared easily to street shoes in that way.There isn't a perfect one-size-fits-all for styles and brands of dance shoes. You just have to find the right one for your foot and the way in which you dance. But I find that these tick a lot of boxes for our students and are DEFINITELY my go-to jazz shoe!

Bought a half size larger than my shoe size. Was afraid they wouldn’t fit right and I needed them for a performance. They came in two days, and they fit perfectly. I loved the details in the arch, and that the heel was hidden inside of the leather. They are really perfect to dance with, and I have zero complaints so far. I will update in a few months to see how they handle over time. Hopefully they don’t wear out too fast!

Perfect shoes for dance. My daughter competes and these are just right in every single way.

Dependiendo de tu tamaño de calzado recomiendo que lo pidan 1 talla más. En zapato mido 7.5 y me quedo un poco ajustado. Ya las he usado en varias oportunidades pero aún siguen muy ajustadas.

based on the reviews I ordered a half size larger than my daughter's street shoe size, they had to be returned & these which were a full size larger fit perfectly, and look nice when dancing

The only jazz shoe we buy! My daughter wears a woman's size 6 shoe and wears an 8m jazz shoe

These shoes are for performances, and are super comfortable. They fit as expected and easy to point and flex in them.

I bought these jazz shoes for my daughter and they fit perfectly and look amazing. They follow the shape of her foot well (she has high arches and instep) and she finds them comfortable. Her feet really stand out from the others in her troupe when she's wearing these shoes.

Very good quality and quick delivery.

I have been wearing them often over the last two months, and they have already started to wear out on the top of the toe as they just fit. They have also started to come apart a tiny bit at one of the seams. Additionally they kind of come to a little bit of an angle near the big toe, making it look a little like I am perpetually pigeon-toed.I do find them to become uncomfortable after a few hours as the heel portion feels like it's digging into the bottom of my foot a bit, though I am rather flat-footed and have somewhere between and medium and wide foot.Overall the shoes aren't bad for the price, but I probably wouldn't repurchase them.

I like the quality and feel of these shoes but although I ordered a full size above my normal, they were way too short and it felt like my big toe would break through very quickly. They were easily returned.

The fit feels excellent - snug and supportive feeling - My feet are size 9, borderline narrow but I wear regular shoes typically. I ordered size 9 M and I feel it's the perfect fit. Unfortunately the stitching at the bottom was not secure so this pair has a small stitching hole at the bottom - so that's a disappointing hassle and too bad they aren't stitched better as they are a fair price! So that affects my rating - Hopefully these have some longevity once I start using and performing in them. Otherwise I love them.

La talla me quedó algo estrecha , pero tienen buena resistencia , es un buen producto
