Bloch Shoes, Dance Shoes, and Ballet Shoes

Bloch has evolved from a pure position as clear leader in the technical dance market into a truly inspirational, forward thinking contemporary footwear brand. The Bloch for dancers' product range extends from dance shoes and dance apparel for classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap and chorus through to ballroom, latin, salsa and hip hop. Their shoe collection includes baby shoes and fashion footwear for young girls, through to designer ladies ballet flats and pumps. Their biggest honor to date is the collaboration with Jozette Hazzouri's collection of Italian-made high heel shoes. These feature a unique design approach, blended with the pinnacle of italian craftsmanship.

Founded in Sydney, Australia in 1932 by Jacob Bloch, Bloch is a pioneer in the technical dance market. Since its inception, the renowned footwear brand has produced hand-made ballet and pointe shoes for esteemed ballet dancers worldwide. The company’s success is driven by its philosophy of listening to dancers' needs. This philosophy has enabled the company to produce a product that meets both the rigorous demands and comfort needs of the performance stage. Each shoe is specially crafted to the curvature of the foot, offering protection and sustainability through rigorous hours of dance and movement.

You can expect the same comfort provided to professional dancers in your Bloch shoes and heels. Jozette Hazzouri's collection of Italian-made high heel shoes and sandals are outrageous - the colors and styles are artistic, seductive and classy. The vibrant line of ballerina flats has already received phenomenal success in high-end boutiques and department stores worldwide. Arriving for Spring 2009, her elegant and artful designs will include dance-inspired collections for Baby, Girls, ballerina flats as well as her own luxury line of Italian-made heels and sandals under the banner 'Jozette Hazzouri.' Each collection, designed by Hazzouri in collaboration with Bloch, comes as the result of careful fusion between high-end fashion and the artistry of dance.

Review:
I tried these shoes for a shoe and was amazed at the comfort. What I like most about these taps is the color - when wearing flesh-colored tights, these taps make my legs look longer. The cusioned heeel also is great, as it works really well for shock absorbtion. Easy to clean, and sturdy.
