Some prefer it fitted whilst others prefer a more generous fit. In respect of our BLOCH products this is a guideline only. Due to the nature of their design and purpose, jazz shoes should fit comfortably snug, sock-like, much like a pair of ballet flats. As all our jazz shoes are made of soft leather we recommend ordering them to your true size or size smaller to your regular shoe size. Remember, leather naturally gives over time so with wear, your jazz shoes will stretch around your pressure points making them feel a little bit bigger and wider.
