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.

Regular medium fit. True to size.

BLOCH tap shoes are generally designed for a close, secure fit. Your toes should lie flat without curling, and the heel should remain stable when walking or tapping.

Use your measured foot length and the BLOCH size guide when selecting a size. Wear the same socks or tights you intend to use for class when trying them on.

Try the shoes on clean carpet only. Tap plates showing scratches or floor wear cannot be accepted for return.

Care information

Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air-dry naturally.

Do not machine wash, tumble dry or place near direct heat.

Keep the tap plates dry and check the screws regularly. If a tap becomes loose, ask a dance teacher or experienced shoe repairer to adjust it before the shoes are worn again.

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: First Tap Classes • Adult Beginners • Early Technique Training • Dance School Classes • Rehearsals & Performances

Description

Learning tap is easier when the shoe provides a steady base and a clear response. The BLOCH S0330 Timestep Tap Shoes are one of Dance World’s most popular beginner choices, trusted for early classes, adult beginners and developing students who need reliable support without a heavy professional build.

A structured full sole, low heel and secure two-eyelet front tie create an accessible starting feel, while the cushioned insock helps soften impact during regular training. BLOCH Techno Taps arrive ready attached, with a specially developed toe spring designed to produce a clean, audible response as dancers learn their first taps, shuffles and rhythmic combinations.

BLOCH S0330 Timestep Tap Shoes – Personality

Beginner Friendly • Full-Sole Support • Clear Tap Sound • Lightweight Feel

Straightforward, practical and reassuring, the S0330 is a shoe designed to let the dancer focus on timing rather than footwear. The classic black finish works naturally with dance-school uniforms and performance clothing, while the neat front-tie shape keeps the look traditional without feeling overly formal.

BLOCH S0330 Timestep Tap Shoes – Design & Performance

The durable synthetic leather upper is finished with supportive canvas binding around the opening. A two-eyelet lace-up front allows simple adjustment across the instep, while the full-sole construction provides the structured base that many dancers benefit from during early tap training. The low 1-inch heel, including the tap, keeps the dancer close to the floor and supports a stable, manageable feel.

Inside, a soft antibacterial sock helps manage moisture, while the cushioned insock provides shock absorption for weekly classes and repeated practice. Pre-attached BLOCH Techno toe and heel taps create a clear beginner-friendly sound, with the developed toe spring helping the forefoot respond cleanly as rhythm, timing and weight placement begin to develop.

Dance World Tap Shoe DNA™ compares the defining characteristics of each tap shoe. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe—it shows how strongly each characteristic is expressed.

Dance World Notes

A Trusted Start for New Tap Dancers

Why It Works: The full sole provides useful structure and resistance while beginners learn how to place their weight and control the toe and heel independently.

Sound Character: The Techno Taps give the S0330 a clear, bright response that makes early rhythms easy to hear without the weight or tonal depth of a professional double-sole shoe.

Training Value: This is deliberately a beginner-focused shoe. Its stability, cushioning and manageable weight are more important here than extreme flexibility or powerful stage projection.

Dance World Tip: Wear the same socks or tights you plan to use for class and test the shoes on clean carpet only. Taps showing scratches or floor wear cannot be accepted for return.
