Bloch's mesh dance sneaker with DRT (Dynamic Resistance Technology) features a dancer-specific, high arch last for true fit and comfort. Made of genuine suede and lightweight breathable mesh, with a Dri-Lex heel and tongue.
Just received my shoes well before the estimate delivery date. They fit perfectly and yes, do order one size bigger than you wear your regular sneakers. Notice though that the colour pink on the image is a little brighter than the one of the colour swatch when ordering. The swatch is the exact colour of the shoe, more of a salmon pink which is what I wanted so I am very happy with my first shopping experience with Amazon and with Discount Dance Supply.

The "Evolution" by Bloch consists of a leather and mesh upper and a non-marking rubber outsole with a medial pivot point for ease of turning. Other features include an expanded EVA foam midsole for superior cushioning and shock absorption and a removable contoured sock liner.
I absolutely love these shoes! Very flexible and comfortable! Its almost hard to believe they are dance shoes. You will really like these. I wear a size 9-9.5 and have generally wide feet. I ordered the size 10 in these and it fit perfectly. I'm really particular about comfort and generally order Clarks brand shoes or Naturalizers for comfort. So if you like those types of brands you will like these.

I bought this dance shoe for Zumba and am so glad I did. I used to wear the Nike Zipsister for Zumba, but during class I would get shooting pains in my arches. No problems once I started wearing this Bloch dance shoe. My feet are completely happy all throughout class.

This review is purely subjective. I had high hopes when I purchased these Block Women's Boost Dance Sneakers. I own numerous pairs of sneakers/shoes for different activities including walking, biking, and bootcamp. I work out every day and take at least four Zumba/Zumba-Tone classes a week. I wanted something to wear that would support my foot, weren't clunky, and would allow me to move a bit more freely. I wear a size 7.5 so I sized up a full size to an 8.5 as recommended. The fit was fine, they weren't clunky or heavy. So, I decided to try them at home on various surfaces while working out to my Zumba DVDs. My teachers use plyometric moves with explosive jumps and kicks as well as fast footwork and pivots so I added them to the routine just to see if I could land without hurting myself.I loved the fact that there is a "sweet spot" on the bottom that allows the wearer to pivot and slide with ease.But..alas..I was upset to discover that no matter how I laced them, (tight all over, tight over the instep only, graduated tightness on stress points and more), my arches and metatarsals were killing me after only a few minutes of the workout. Thank goodness I was at home and not at the gym or studio.Objectively, every Zumba class and routine may be different, every surface is different, and everyone's foot and body type is different. I guess the split sole and lack of at least a panel around the sides where the arch and metatarsal are that would offer more support didn't…

I bought this shoe for Zumba. It is very comfortable to dance in, but not good for walking. I don't even wear them into the gym. The only drawback I see is that SOMETIMES it slips a tiny bit. I wanted these because they do have the ability to pivot without knee torque. I feel these shoes have saved my knees and ankles. Zumba requires some twisting and other dance moves that are not served well by athletic shoes. They do run smaller than size marked. I normally wear a 9.5 athletic shoe but need a 10 in this style. It is a joy to dance in a comfortable shoe that fits!

I was using a Nike shoe previous to this that didn't provide the ankle support I needed in my Zumba classes. This looked like it had the right amount of cushion. I've had them for two classes so far and haven't experienced the ankle pain that I've had in the past. Sizing: I wear an 8.5 shoe and I purchased a 9.5 and it fit perfectly. My sugggestion is to avoid any return charges and go to a dance store to try them on for sure. I got lucky when I ordered a size bigger.
