Got them in black patent color. There's a fixed elastic strap and the shoes can be worn with just the elastic straps. Or you can use the included grosgrain ribbon laces which allows you to better control the fit.
Daughter wears size 10. I ordered 11. There's some room but they're not as big on her as actual size 11 shoes. So I think other reviewers recommending to size up is the way to go.
The two brands looked very similar. I actually like this pair because the inserts are pink and feel slightly thicker and softer. The toe box seemed shorter and rounder which I found cuter.
But after my daughter tried them both on, she insisted on the Bloch pair. Both brands are similar quality and similarly priced. Can't go wrong with either!
I purchased one full size bigger than what my daughter wears. For example my daughter wears a size 8 in regular shoes (Carters, Cat & Jack) & I purchased a size 9 for her. They are a little big but will last her longer. Going a size up does not effect her dancing or walking in them.
A few things to know when buying tap shoes
1. They should have a rubber grip at the ball of the foot. Cheaper tap shoes do not have them & your toddler is more likely to slip. Most dance studios recommend this too.
2. Black is the classic color the one I recommend buying. They will more than likely be required to wear black shoes for their dance recital.
3. Do not let them wear them outside. They are not made for outside & can create a lot of wear on the shoe & taps (same with ballet shoes).
Also, your toddler will probably want to wear them at home (at least mine do). Please know that these shoes are very, very slippery on tile & you will need to hold onto them. If you have carpet, they will be fine if course. You should be fine with wood floors too but do hold onto them until you know for sure.
