Detailed Review
When it comes to comfort, the Bloch Women's Tempo Accent Dance Shoe excels. The cushioned insock effectively absorbs shock, making each step feel lighter, which is paramount during intense dance routines. Furthermore, the breathable canvas upper allows air circulation, reducing sweat accumulation and keeping your feet fresh throughout performances.
In terms of flexibility, the specially designed suede leather outsole ensures you can perform a wide range of movements without restriction. This flexibility is complemented by the low-top shaft height, providing just the right amount of ankle support without hindering mobility.
However, it is important to note that while the shoe's size fits most comfortably, some users have reported that the fit runs small. Thus, trying them on before purchasing or opting for a size up might be beneficial.
The overall design blends elegance with practicality. Whether you're dancing in a studio or performing on stage, the understated yet chic look of the Tempo Accent will elevate your attire.

User Reviews
The shoes look excellent, their structure is very, very comfortable, there is a narrow gap in the center of the shoe that allows flexibility of the foot. The processing of the sole looks good and of high quality. I am very satisfied
I used these for opera, and they held up really well. I don’t like to wear leather, so these canvas upper shoes were a great option and is super flexible and comfy. I have extreme sensory issues when it comes to footwear, but I found these to be unbeatable compared to other heeled shoes.ALSO SIZE! I wear a 6 or 6.5 in tennis shoes and boots, and the 7 is snug on me. I recommend a full size up!
I did order size 7 after reading the other reviews. (Regular shoe size is 6). Looking forward to trying them at my next lesson on September 6th. I’ll write an update is anything changes after a few lessons.
The shoes were absolutely as advertised and true to size. Very happy with them.
They just didn’t fit.
Just wish they put a black strap on it instead of a pink strap. Perhaps detachable or able to put iit under the heal.
Good quality shoe. Felt well made and sturdy. Strap secures it to your foot nicely. Nice size heel gives stability with a little height. I wear a 9.5-10 street shoe and this 9.5 fit well. I was able to wear fishnets with them comfortably and they are a little thicker than regular nylons
Highly recommend this terrific pair of character shoes! Very comfortable and well made. I’m a dance (ballet, modern & jazz-broadway) teacher, studio owner and former professional ballet dancer. Ballet flats are just not comfortable to wear for all day teaching so I was looking for a pair of shoes with a low heel and a bit more support yet allowed for full articulation. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Not only are they great for teaching but I can also dance in them. As is customary with Bloch, the quality is spot on.
