If you need a Brand new and in the box pair of tap shoes that you want to customize Do I have a deal for you!!!, this pair of tap shoes from Bloch gives a feminine style line and sturdy support to the beginner. I have over 200 pair of these and most are absolutely perfect. I am showing a photo of a returned pair so you can see the worst of it. Had they painted them, the peeling would not have taken place. They all look perfect until you start dancing in them. The Bloch Annie has a soft kashmir lining and padded insole for comfort and to reduce moisture.S0350G and ladies S0350L offered here in 3 colors. Please note that there is NO SIZE 2, 2.5, 3, or 3.5 Bloch Does Not manufacture those sizes. The girls 2 jumps to the ladies size 4. If you need a 3, that is size 5. and it continues like that so if you wear say between a ladies 7 to a 7.5, buy the 7.5. The two sides of the upper part of the shoe look like the old style ribbon tie but are fastened together with an elastic strip featuring a snap design as well as a ribbon. The ribbon has been threaded through the eyelets and tied in a bow to conceal the elastic. Synthetic upper and pretty good sounding taps for a beginner tap shoe. This shoe fits fairly close to street shoe size but when ordering for little ones we recommend you go up a 1/2 size for grow room. upstr
