Bloch Shoes
For those who are searching for unique shoes for woman, girls, toddlers, and in particular shoes for ballet, Bloch Shoes are the perfect answer. Jacob Simon Bloch, who was born on May 14th, 1898 in Lithuania, immigrated to Australia in 1930 where he sought work as a cobbler. In 1932, he started his company which is renown for making some of the world’s best ballet and dance shoes.
From the companies inception, Jacob Bloch has made it a point to carefully listen to dancer’s, and through this insight has successfully determined what is required when making shoes of this type, and this philosophy has resulted in fulfilling the needs of professional dancers worldwide for decades.
An excellent example of Jacob’s Bloch determination to create the best possible pointe shoe is demonstrated in one specific occasion. While observing a ballet dancer having difficulty, he recognized that if he made certain changes in the design of his shoe, the dancers lateral balance would improve and through this the possibility of falling forward would be greatly reduced.
The creation of an improved pointe shoe would further serve to assist the dancer’s ability to stay on her toes for extended periods of time. Equally important was the need to create a shoe which would fit well and at the same time protect and support the dancer’s feet. There is no question that this goal was accomplished as well. It wasn’t long before dancer’s worldwide were raving about this highly durable and resilient pointe shoe.
In addition to pointe shoes, the company also makes ballet flats, tap shoes, sneakers, dancesport, character shoes and many others. The Bloch Shoe Company has also expanded it’s line to include a complete line of shoes for women and children.
Their women’s shoe collection present the highest level of fashion which is demonstrated in their Italian high heels and sandals, and have been created by one of the more imminent fashion designers. The collaboration with Josette Hourizi has been met with resounding approval by woman from all corners of the world, and there is no doubt that better things are yet to come.
The line of shoes which Bloch offers for babies are modeled after their ballerina shoes. They are nothing less than what you would expect for toddlers. They are made of the softest of materials, lightweight, and there is no better adjective to describe these shoes for babies other than beautiful!
The following list represents a small sampling of the many shoes made available by Bloch:
Ballet Flats-It isn’t as though the selection of ballet flats is limited and they are available for girls, women, and men. In fact there are twenty-five to choose from.
