This is THE lightweight ballet shoe that the dance market has demanded for elite performance. The super soft canvas has an almost 360-degree stretch capability which creates the feeling of a second skin with the foot and shoe moving and working together as one. The upper has been styled for extreme toe comfort with no binding or drawstring to distort the top line which modernises the designs while the under arch adheres to the instep creating a streamlined aesthetic.
The generous split sole pads have been contoured for ultimate balance with the front pad encompassing all the weight distribution on demi pointe, while the heel pad has a shock absorbing cushioning. The elastics have been pre-sewn in the X feature for practical and easy wear. The Performa is designed with an all-inclusive range of shades to match varying skin tones, removing the necessity of dyeing the canvas to match your skin.

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.
