For the record, this is not an advertisement for Bloch and Bloch has not sponsored anything. If there is a funny coincidence, Bloch should know that I am not a fan of the fact that they have different sizes for the different pointe shoes which means that you have to find out the right size first.... It's similar to the underwear companies that aren't the brightest light in the chandelier and give out 10k pads the same size as something that doesn't have these pads The same type of shoe should have the same shoe sizes (lengh of shoe on the inside – it shouldn't be that people have an 7,5 in one model while an other model is 6 and so on) for the same size - model independent!
