We ended up with a different pair of Bloch Jazz shoes in the end. These just didn't fit right. The arch area was uncomfortable and the back of the shoe kept slipping off. A smaller size was too small. Just could't get a good fit. Switching to another shoe was the only option...not to mention more comfortable in the arch. We ended up going with the Bloch Neo-Flex after this shoe. Those fit perfectly, comfortably, and like a glove.
