Bloch Women's Jason Samuels Smith Dancing Shoe for Tap Dance

These tap shoes are the best! They are very heavy duty and great quality. The sounds on these are beautiful! Very sharp and loud sounds. They do run a bit small. I normally wear a 7.5 to 8 in street shoes and I had to get a few sizes before finding a good fit. I ended up with a size 8.5 in this tap shoes and it fits snug (which I wanted). I can still wear a pair of thin socks with them. The toe area was a bit tight when I first got them but have stretched a little since then and are now comfortable. They come with the rubber soles unattached. I chose not to put them onto my shoes (because I didn’t know how and I didn’t want to pay more money to find someone to do it professionally). There is definitely more sliding without them but I’ve gotten used to it. I do feel like the balls of my feet get a bit more sore after dancing for a while probably because of this. Overall, I love these shoes! I’ve had them for about two years now and I still love them. I’m considering getting them in white too! If you get these shoes, you won’t regret it!

Love love love these tap shoes, great quality and amazing deep noise.

Great good quality shoes, great sounds. Bloch says size up 0.5 inch from street shoe its more like 1. Inch. Perfect would be 0.75. Wonderful shoes though just sizing is off

This is a beautiful tap shoe. I saw some other reviews saying they’re fake, missing laces, etc, but the pair I received has the signature under Bloch, and laces. I can confirm you’ll want to size up. I wear a 7 in street shoes (usually 37 in european sizing, and a 4 in Dr Martens). I ordered a 7.5 and it is pretty snug. I probably could have ordered an 8 and it also would fit, but one issue I have with my current shoes is heel slippage and sloppiness, so I’m okay with a pair of white snug shoes that stay put. The shoes are nice, good quality leather, comfortable, and have good sound. Wish I would have started with these. Comfort is important when one is dancing.

They are good, much more easy to get more sounds then beginner tap shoes, nice support.

I was on the hunt to find the perfect pair of tap shoes, and my tap teacher insisted on Bloch's Jason Samuels Smith tap shoes. Although I was a little hesitant at first due to the price, I had been envying hers all year and decided to make the investment and go for it. And holy moly am I glad I did! From the moment I put them on, I knew these were THE pair of tap shoes to own! The inner lining is so soft and supportive, perfect for wicking away sweat and providing comfort, and the body of the shoe is so well constructed and fits my foot like a glove. And the sound! This stacked heel and platform will take a few times to master, but it will be absolutely worth it. The sound is so strong and solid, it's beautiful. I wear a size 7 in street shoes, but I wear a 7.5 in Bloch's SplitFlex Character Heels, so I decided to go with the 7.5s, which turned out to be the perfect fit (I also prefer my dance shoes on the smaller side). If you are thinking about going into the professional theatre/dance world, these shoes are a must have!

Best shoe on the market! So well made and the sound they make is amazing! I would love to have thicker shoe strings for them

Runs small. Size up!

The seller contacted to check the sizing due to American sizing being different. Item arrived quickly and were perfect.
