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.

BLOCHSOX A1000 fits true to size. Choose your regular size according to the BLOCHSOX size range:

XS: UK 1.5–3
S: UK 3.5–5
M: UK 5.5–7
L: UK 7.5–9

The compression construction is designed to fit closely around the foot and arch rather than feeling like a loose everyday sock.

If you are between sizes, consider your preference for compression and the length of the foot when choosing.

Fit guidance is intended as a starting point. Foot shape and personal preference can affect the final fit.

Care information

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.

Do not bleach or use fabric softener. Air dry naturally by laying flat or hanging to dry.

Do not tumble dry or iron, as excessive heat can affect the technical fibres, compression and performance features.

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: Contemporary • Lyrical • Jazz • Modern • Turns & Leaps • Floorwork • Multi-Style Training

Description

More technical than an ordinary sock and freer than a conventional dance shoe, BLOCHSOX A1000 Premium Dance Socks are designed for dancers who want to turn, glide, jump and move across the floor without losing the natural freedom of the foot.

The clever sole combines a dedicated spin spot with strategically positioned grip and brake lines, while compression through the arch and cushioning at the heel bring extra control and comfort. The result is a dance sock that feels wonderfully unrestricted but far more predictable underneath the foot.

BLOCHSOX A1000 Dance Socks – Personality

Controlled Turns • Compression Support • Full-Foot Freedom • Grip & Glide

The studio sock that changed the rules. BLOCHSOX keeps the easy, unrestricted feeling dancers love about working in socks, then adds control exactly where an ordinary sock tends to fall short.

Sand creates the most classic barefoot-inspired look, Mocha offers a warmer, deeper neutral, while Black feels strong, graphic and distinctly studio-led.

BLOCHSOX A1000 Contemporary Dance Socks – Design & Performance

The real intelligence of BLOCHSOX is underneath the foot. A dedicated spin spot is designed to encourage smoother turning, while strategically positioned brake and grip-control lines help the dancer regain traction when stability is needed.

This creates a much more considered relationship with the floor than a conventional sock. Instead of giving the same amount of grip everywhere, different areas of the sole are designed to support different phases of movement - release for turning, traction for control and stability for landing and directional changes.

An enhanced compression arch wraps closely around the midfoot for a more supported, connected feeling, while the padded heel adds comfort during repeated impact. The knitted construction remains highly flexible, allowing the toes, arch and ankle to move naturally without the structure of a conventional dance shoe.

For dancers moving between contemporary, lyrical, jazz and modern work, that combination makes BLOCHSOX particularly versatile: one lightweight piece of footwear capable of handling turns, jumps, travelling sequences and floorwork without sacrificing the freedom of dancing in socks.

BLOCHSOX A1000 Contemporary Footwear DNA™

Our Dance World Footwear DNA™ highlights the five characteristics that define how Contemporary footwear feels.

Floor Feel ●●●●○ Close floor connection with targeted cushioning where comfort matters most.

Turn Control ●●●●● Dedicated spin spot and brake lines balance smooth rotation with controlled stopping.

Flexibility ●●●●● Knitted construction follows the foot freely through pointing, flexing and floorwork.

Protection ●●●●○ Full-foot coverage and heel cushioning offer more protection than barefoot or half-sole work.

Support ●●●●○ Compression through the arch gives a secure, supported feel without restricting movement.

Higher score ≠ better. Dance World Contemporary Footwear DNA™ shows the balance and feel of the footwear, helping dancers compare different constructions and choose what suits their movement and floorwork.

Dance World Notes – BLOCHSOX A1000

The studio sock that changed the rules.

This is one of those products where the engineering genuinely changes the experience. Ordinary socks can feel unpredictable on a dance floor; BLOCHSOX gives different areas of the foot different jobs, allowing the dancer to turn while still having traction available when it matters.

Dancers seem to notice exactly that. Feedback repeatedly describes the grip as a sweet spot between sticky and slippery, with dancers praising BLOCHSOX for turns, leaps, tricks and contemporary floorwork.

Our overall impression: A1000 is for dancers who love the freedom of dancing in socks but want considerably more predictability underneath the foot. It still feels like a sock - just a much more intelligent one.
