Bloch Women's Chloé and Maud Dance Shoes - Professional Ballet & Jazz Shoes for Women - Perfect for Dance Classes, Performances & Practice

For my daughter’s 18th birthday she really wanted black and white tap shoes. She owns 6 pairs of taps. After doing much research we decided on these. Her go-to pair is Bloch Respect. So we ordered the same size, as they are Bloch as well. She wears a size 8. We returned the size 8 before we could take pictures, but they ended up being nearly a full size too small. So we ordered a 9. Nope. Too big. So 8.5. This was still a bit too small, but she’s hoping that the leather will stretch soon. They’re right, but not too tight for her to try and make work.In summary… the sizing is odd compared to her other taps. Be prepared to try a half step up or down.
