Great...but with boo-boos out of the box

Great...but with boo-boos out of the box
I love the shoes! They are very pretty and I'm sure they'll be great. They haven't been worn yet. I'm very disappointed that they both have "boo-boos" on the toes of the shoes. It's not horribly noticeable but I expect a new item to be perfect when I get it. I just hope this isn't an indication that they'll be easily skint up.

I received the item right on time. Thank goodness too because I had a child who was very anxious to receive them. Although the first pair was too large and was returned, these fit perfectly. They are really a nice looking shoe. The leather, while not patten, is lustrous. The shoe is slender, the buckle dainty yet functional, and the quality overall seems good. I do like these better than the Capezio's which I have been getting for a few years now. The only thing is that as these do not secure with Velcro strap your child will need to either be able to fasten the buckle herself or will require a moment's help. An attractive shoe.

I bought these shoes for my daughter's tap class. After about 5 classes, she complained of the shoe hurting. It looks fine as far as sizing, but she says they hurt her feet. So, we are now borrowing shoes from the teacher in the same size but by a different brand. She claims that the borrowed shoes fit her fine and they do not hurt. I don't know. I liked this shoe and so did she, so I don't know if it is the make up of the shoe or not. Not sure what could be the problem. She is only five so she can't describe much about the problem besides that it hurts when she dances and you can't have that. So, I just spent money on shoes that only lasted 5 classes. I am assuming it was due to growing pains and giving the shoe a score of 3 because they did not make it through the year. Keep in mind, it may have been due to growing pains. LOL

When my 3 year old daughter started dance, Bloch was the only brand the teacher recommended and I can see why. All of their dance shoes are well made and last through lots of wear and tear. My daughter's foot is fairly narrow so I was worried she'd have difficulty keeping her foot in her shoe, but the 10 N fit her perfectly. These shoes and the ballet shoes run very true to size, which makes ordering easy. My only complaint is the buckle. It's made of cheap thin metal, but we haven't had a problem with it breaking or coming loose, so it's more of an aesthetic issue.

We just put these on for the first time this afternoon. My little girl was thrilled and has worn them all morning. They are for tap class and are super cute.....but super cheap made. The plastic covering is peeling off. For the price I just thought they would be better made.

"Wow wee, I love them. Super comfy" are the words my 3 year old used to describe them.. The proof is in the pudding. She wears them first thing in the morning to breakfast, during her days at home, 1st thing after school, and once even tried to sneak them on once the lights went out for bedtime.

Bloch children's tap shoes quality can't be beat. We've tried others... only Bloch for my little Princess & the Pea.

I'm impressed! These were recommended by my daughters dance teacher and I can see why. The ones I bought prior to getting these were a disaster. The paint rubbed off the toe of the shoe with in the first week of wearing them. These are by far a much better choice. She's been practicing in them for two months now and they still look New!

3.0 out of 5 stars Seems like a defect in the shoe
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016

Bought these for my 3 year old for her tap/ballet combo class. She had only used them for 2 classes (only 15 minutes in each class, total of 30 minutes of wearing) and the leather on the front of one of the shoes is peeling off. Seems like a defect in the shoe. Besides that, the overall quality of the shoes is great. Much better than other brands of shoes I have put her in. Just disappointing because we bought them a few weeks before class started and she has barely worn them and not a whole lot I can do about it now. They do fit a little snug but my daughter has a wide foot so we are used to ordering a little bigger.
