Size & Fit Advice

All shoes are displayed in UK sizes. The size printed on the shoe or box may differ due to the manufacturer's international sizing system.

Fit: Relaxed, roomy warm-up fit.
Choose the Bloch size range corresponding most closely with your normal shoe size when wearing the booties barefoot, with socks or over ballet shoes.

Wearing over pointe shoes: We recommend choosing the next size up to allow sufficient room for the pointe shoe and toe box.

If you fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the roomier option.

BLOCH Size & Fit Advice

BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Tip

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Before Choosing Your Size

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

Bust / Chest Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level.

Waist Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

BLOCH Fit Guidance

BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Fit Note BLOCH size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, foot shape, shoe width, construction and personal preference. Where an individual BLOCH product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Best For: Ballet Class • Rehearsals • Backstage • Competitions • Between Classes • Cold Studios • Pointe Shoe Warm-Ups

Description

There are dance accessories you need, and then there are the ones you simply love. The Bloch IM009B Warm-Up Booties have become one of those unmistakable studio favourites: wonderfully padded, instantly cosy and made for keeping hardworking dancer feet warm before and between sessions.

Pull them on over socks, ballet shoes or, with the right size, pointe shoes, and suddenly waiting for class feels considerably more comfortable.

Personality

Iconic • Puffy • Cosy • Studio-Loved

Part dance essential, part comfort accessory, the IM009B has developed a personality all of its own. The oversized padded silhouette is instantly recognisable in studios and backstage spaces, while the choice of classic and playful colours makes them just as much fun to choose as they are to wear.

Bloch IM009B Warm-Up Booties - Design & Comfort

The secret to the IM009B is its wonderfully simple construction. A lightweight 100% nylon outer shell surrounds generous 100% polyester padding, creating the soft, puffy insulation that gives the booties their signature cosy feel.

A cushioned heel adds softness underfoot, while the adjustable bungee toggle around the top lets dancers gently secure the boot around the ankle. A branded pull tab makes them easy to slip on when moving quickly between class, rehearsal and backstage.

There is even a small external bungee loop for adding a favourite charm, a tiny detail, but one that feels perfectly at home on a bootie dancers often make very much their own.

Bloch IM009B Warm-Up Bootie DNA™

Our Dance World Warm-Up Bootie DNA™ highlights the five characteristics that define how each bootie feels to wear, helping dancers compare warmth, comfort and everyday studio use across the collection.

Warmth

●●●●●

Generously insulated for cosy studio warmth

Cushioning

●●●●○

Soft padded comfort beneath the foot

Cosiness

●●●●●

Signature puffy feel dancers love

Shoe Compatibility

●●●●○

Roomy enough for dance shoes

Ease of Wear

●●●●●

Quick pull-on comfort between classes

The Dance World Warm-Up Bootie DNA™ compares the defining characteristics of each warm-up style. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better bootie — it shows the balance of warmth, cushioning, cosiness, shoe compatibility and ease of wear, helping dancers choose the style that suits them best.

Dance World Notes

A genuine ballet-world icon. The original Bloch Warm-Up Booties were designed by former American Ballet Theatre principal dancers Irina Dvorovenko and Max Beloserkovsky.

The puffiness is part of the charm. These aren't designed to feel like ordinary footwear, their generously padded silhouette is exactly what gives them that wonderfully cosy character.

They're made for the studio. Think changing rooms, rehearsal spaces, backstage and waiting between classes rather than walking outdoors.

And yes, dancers get attached to them. Colours come and go, limited editions appear, and somehow one pair of Bloch booties has a habit of turning into two.

Dance World Tip - Wear them while you wait. Pull your booties on after warming up, between rehearsals or while waiting backstage to help keep your feet comfortably warm rather than allowing them to cool down completely.

Bloch IM009B Dance World Fit Advice

Wearing barefoot, with socks or ballet shoes:
Choose the Bloch size range that corresponds most closely with your normal shoe size. These booties are intended to have a relaxed, padded fit rather than fit closely like dance shoes.

Wearing over pointe shoes:
Choose the next size up to allow additional room for the pointe shoe and toe box.

Between two bootie sizes:
We generally favour the roomier option. A little extra space works naturally with this style and preserves that wonderfully cosy feel.

Fit advice is intended as a guide. Individual fit can vary depending on foot shape, dance footwear worn underneath and personal preference.
