Great for beginning tapper!
Bought these for a beginning tap class I started a few months back. I bought a 1/2 size bigger then my regular size and they fit great. Definitely not for a wide footed person. They are very soft and flexible.

I love these tap shoes! Upon the recommendation of prior purchasers, I ordered a full size larger than my regular shoe size. I have narrow feet and the width is perfect for me.

Very comfortable tap shoe with pliable soft leather upper. It is lined inside (synthetic soft material), which is great if you don\'t want to wear them with socks. The Bloch design at the heel curves at the back tendon and is quite pliable, adding to the comfort. \r\n\r\nThe laces could be just a tad longer and I am considering buying replacement laces that are not too long, not too short (considering my foot is not wide or fat, I was surprised at the laces\' shortness). \r\n\r\nI\'m a beginner at tap, so I can\'t really judge the tap quality, although it all sounds fine to me. \r\n\r\nOverall, a good shoe for this tap newbie.

Great tap shoes -
I followed other reviews' advice and ordered a half size up, but I had to return them for my regular size; not sure if Bloch changed their sizing or if other people are wearing socks with their shoes (I just wear peds or tights). Super comfortable & I can't wait to wear them for tap class.

My daughter loves them. They are so soft, flexible and light. My daughter has not worn socks with them and has yet no blisters. Her "wings" are easier now with this shoe.

A wonderful shoe -
This shoe is great! I'm a first-time tap dancer. The instant I put it on, it fit like a glove for my feet. The leather is soft, and it has enough flex to make heel drops and such easy to do. My feet didn't hurt at all after class (unlike the first pair of Mary Janes I had). I ordered a half size up, but might have been able to get the regular street shoe size.

Good -
I would buy these shoes with a half size larger than my usual size. Otherwise, I think this shoe is very good for beginners.

Would definitely recommend -
These shoes are so comfortable, took them straight out of the box and went to class, no breaking in, very flexible. Great sound. I've had several years of dance and didn't know what I have been missing since buying the Bloch shoe.

Bloch Tap - Flex - great shoe -
My daughter who performs in song and dance shows practices about 1/2 hour per day and has weekly rehearsals lasting 2-3 hours. She loves the shoes and says they are comfortable to wear through long rehearsals and performances. They are flexible and have good sound. The screws keep the plates secure yet allow for movement.
We would highly recommend these shoes.

Tap shoes -
I just started a beginning tap class and I find these to be very stable and comfortable. I bought a half size larger than my street shoes and they fit perfectly.

Awesome comfort -
I purchased these shoes for my daughter and she said that they are so comfortable. The reason I chose Zappos is because of the guarantee. No other studio offered that, so I would have been stuck with them. Thank goodness for Zappos.

Love!
I really enjoy my new tap shoes. They allow me to do toe stands with ease. I'm a clogger and these shoes help me on Irish steps especially. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone looking for new ones.

Good shoes -
I found these shoes to be very comfortable, and to have very good arch support despite their split sole. The cutout for the ankle is nice. They are also very supportive for toe stands.

Great shoe
Beware, this shoe runs at least 1/2 size small. I normally wear a 9, but even the 9 1/2 was a bit close. If I wore heavier socks I would have considered a 10! Beyond that, the leather is soft and easy to break in. As with any split-sole tap, there is no arch support, but let's face it, you aren't walking miles in these shoes all day!

Speedy Service - Zappos is the only store on-line or off that we could find the Bloch's Tap-Flex. The shoes came in within 2 days of placing the order and they were exactly what my daughter needed. The nice thing about Zappos is they cover return shipping if you need to make a return, they also guarantee the lowest price.

A great tap -
This tap has been a highlight in my tap class. It is top of the line, in my opninon. It is extremely comfortable, and flexible. They are good looking, I have been very happy and excited about my selection.

Shoes fit great. We ordered 9 1/2 narrow because they were out of 9 M. I was surprised by the fast shipping. Thanks for the service. I will definitely buy from you again.

Good choice -
The Bloch Tap-Flex is extremely comfortable, good looking and overall a great tap shoe. Just order one half size larger than your regular shoe size.

Overall Good Tap Shoe -
This tap shoe was true to size and the split seam in at the heel is very comfortable. The lining is such that you don't have to wear a sock.

Split shoes -
Followed the info and it was true that the shoe had to be ordered larger than it street size.
I had to put in some arch supports to actually use the shoe since there seemed to be no support at all in the shoes.
Being that this is my first year to tap I thought the taps sounded wonderful, compared to another pair I had purchased before.

Great Value!
My daughter has been using these for a good month now, and has only very positive comments regarding them...even the appearance has been satisfactory. That is not an easy feat for a picky teenager, but her teacher has been full of praise for the sound compared to the other students. These also seem to be very comfy, and the best that we have found so far. We did order 1 1/2 size larger at our instructor's suggestion which has been great - got a narrow just to be sure that they wouldn't be outragous!

I have significant bunions. I bought a half-size larger than I usually do but was a bit worried with no "wide" width option. But the uppers are made of soft leather, so they work with my feet just fine. I'm happy!
