Bloch Women's Respect Dance Shoe

This shoe is excellent to tap in! It is loud in sound and the rubber pads are great for providing stability when turning. My street shoe is a 7.5-8, but got these in an 8 because I had a wide foot. They fit perfectly. With the full sole, it gives great arch support and the leather is nice quality. I've been tapping for decades, broke an ankle a few years ago, and this shoe is the best full sole shoe I've tried in the market recently. It's worth the extra $30 investment compared to less expensive Bloch and Capezio mid-line tap shoes. I only wish the laces were a little longer, but that is an easy fix.

I highly recommend these shoes to anyone considering them.I haven't worn tap shoes in many years and opted to try these.After reading through many reviews, I decided to order a half size larger than my usual 10.5 womens. They fit beautifully with some room to add thicker socks if I want, but totally not necessary.They look great and the taps sound wonderful.Good luck!

Great tap shoe. Soft comfortable leather. I am a 7.5 or 8 street shoe and the 8 is a perfect fit. I would have given 5 stars but I tried the 8.5 and the 7.5 first because for some reason they were $35.00 cheaper than the size 8. It felt like I was paying $35.00 because the 8 is the most popular size? I almost did not buy them because of it but I could tell they are a nice tap shoe. I have been tapping for 6 months and the Capizio's I started in are ripping and do not have a good sound. I am excited to try these for a Summer Tap Workshop class.

Enjoyed the fit while wearing when I was taking adult tap classes. My daughter also had the same pair. She felt all grown up in a leather vs patent leather pair. They feel great and make great sounds. Good option if not ready to break off the cash for Chloe and Maude's tap shoes.

They’re great quality and stable shoes with gorgeous leather but they ran pretty darn small and hurt my feet to wear, which is a shame because they sound great. They also definitely aren’t made for toe stands because of how narrow they are

I normally wear an 8 narrow, ordered 8 1/2 narrow. They fit fine, happy they come in a narrow width. I assume a nine would fit also, almost too short, so order a full size up. They feel fine while tap dancing.

When my daughter's tap shoe split in two ... we consulted her current tap instructor and she recommended this tap shoe. My daughter, who has been tapping for 5 years loved the fit, comfort and quality of the tap shoe.

For over $100 you’d think there would be a bit more QC going on. Received what I thought were new shoes, however, they look worn on the edges and some one wrote on the bottoms.
