The dance shoe brand Bloch has never disappointed me. Also in this shoe not. Have you ordered in size 8 1/2, because I have the 38.5, or depending on 38 or 39. They sit very good, only on the heel slightly loose. (Everyone has different feet!) With the Velcro they are adjustable and thus adapt even better, as required. However, this also poses a small drawback: threads and other materials of the tongue stuck and drieseln on. The shoes are ventilated much easier and better through the built-in mesh. Although they are well made, I have already noted some shortcomings in the seams. The sole also allows on slippery surfaces footing.
