Made using a traditional construction technique, the Pump encourages the upper to hug the arch and reduces material bunching underfoot when pointing. The teardrop-shaped pads at the toe and heel promote extra flexibility for the foot to the arch.

Ballet shoes are available in four width fittings: A (narrowest) to D (widest), with most styles offering these options. Exceptions include the Performa, which comes in B, C, and D, and men’s styles, which typically range from B to E. If you're unsure of your width, most customers fall within B (average/narrow) or C (average), while those with very narrow (A) or wide (D) feet may already know their requirements.
Width fittings are proportionally graded to the length of the shoe, so we don’t provide specific measurements. For guidance on length, please refer to our online size guide for a Bloch recommendation. For first-time buyers, we recommend visiting a Bloch retail store for a professional fitting.
