BlochDance Women's Spin II Stretch Canvas Teaching/Lyrical Ballet Shoe

These are awesome! I also have a pair by Bloch in leather, which I did love, but I got a size too small, so they really start to ride back and crunch my toes. if you are on the larger size of the range for your size, go up a size. This style of show just tends to ride back anyway, which is why you may want to go a size bigger. I wear a 7.5 street shoe(USA) and I bought a large and they are perfect!! So, they did fit as expected, but only because my teacher told me to get a size bigger because of the shifting. So, I guess they technically run small.The sticky rubber elastic is awesome too, never slips and is super comfortable. At first when you see the shoes and put them on, it seems like the toes are ENORMOUS! but don't panic, because they "shrink" or mutate or whatever to fit your toes very quickly. I usually prefer leather shoes, but these canvas shoes are really nice. Thick and strong canvas, and you can wash them, which is huge! No one wants stinky dancer feet! Gross! haha!

These are just as they say. I do think they run a little big but I think it's because they don't come in number sizes, just small, med, and large. It makes it difficult when you have a foot size right on the border of their sizes.They are soft and good quality.

These are one of my favorite (if not my fav) dance shoes ever! Very comfortable and cute. The toe area is wide enough that it doesn’t squeeze. The elastic keeps the shoe securely in place. I also like that there is a “R” and “L” for right and left shoe.

great shoe! compare to your normal ballet shoe (street size)

This item came quickly and fit great. My daughter has ordered these shoes several times and they hold up well for a lot of dancing. Highly recommend.

My daughter has me keep this on auto order. She loves the canvas - and needs this precise shoe for Pom.

These spin II half soles are the only half soles that my young dancer will wear. The wide binding on the foot is far more comfortable than the narrow binding of similar products. I do wish that we could buy these in leather, as the canvas wears out quickly with repeated use. It takes about 6 weeks of regular dancing before my daughter's toes begin to poke through the material.

My daughter really likes the feel of these with the softer surrounding straps and little stickier parts that keep the elastic in place, and the large turning base on the sole, but she does find the toe area a little big. The fact that these can be washed makes me happy and we feel that the washing could shrink them up perfectly. I also think the toe box shape makes your feet look really good - can't explain it really, but it sort of makes the toes look tidy and the point look better. We'll see how durable they are - I know other reviewers said that they wore a hole in them on the first day... Hope this doesn't happen for my daughter.
