When you come to a place that's all about running/racing? Customers are literally running short sprints down the lanes and even my own kid started to do some pretty serious warm-up exercises - high kicks, jumping, quick bursts to the walls. It was very weird to me but no one else seemed to give a hoot. Anyway... Parking wasn't an issue (always a plus for a Jersey guy driving in NYC). The staff were welcoming and helpful. (Especially the lady that had to endure my endless questions and concerns.) Everything's entirely too expensive but I blame that on the sport and not the store (so much). I fear I'll be here sooner than later since sneakers only last a few months when your kids are running (at least) ten miles a day...

For some reason, I had a heck of a time trying to find this place but once I walked in, I felt an…read moreoverwhelming sense of nostalgia. A friend has a daughter who is into tap, and shoes by Jason Samuels Smith are sold exclusively through Bloch so I was looking forward to seeing what they had in-store, in addition to some items for myself. Even though I walked into a rather busy shop, I was greeted by a sweet girl right away, and she brought out shoes and some pants I was interested in. There is only one fitting room so there will be a wait if there are more than a few people looking to try on dance/activewear. What fascinated me was watching someone get fitted for pointe shoes, and this took me back so long ago even though I was fitted at a different brand. A cool customer nearby gave me her opinion on the sizing of some pants I was hesitating to try (she teaches over at Alvin Ailey, so I'm taking her word for it) and then she was called over to assist with the fitting. Everyone here seemed to know one another and it made me think of how small the dance world really is. Sadly after trying on the shoes and pants, neither worked but I know I can order the pants online in the size and color I desired. As for the tap shoes, they had the basics (my favorite being the classic black and white oxfords) but the current seasonal color was...yellow. The daughter gave a definite no to those, so my work here was done. Even though I left empty-handed, it was great going down memory lane here at Bloch.

He might be knowledgeable but he's been repeatedly rude and...I guess "ungracious" is the best word for it. He has a problem checking his inventory and has now more than once told me something isn't in stock until he goes back and checks and lo and behold, it is. I made an online order too and came by to pick it up and he told me I'd have to wait 3 hours(!) for the order to process and that they didn't have the item anyway. Except then they did after I had him go back and actually look. All of this was done with zero apology and a patronizing attitude. Management should be working with employees on their bedside manner here, especially given that prices are at a higher premium than other places where a dude doesn't dismiss you at every question. Just go to the UWS location on 72nd where you'll get a much more friendly and competent staff to help you find what you're looking for.

I walked in looking for Dansko shoes to try on and had heard they had a huge selection. Turns out they have a huge selection of everything! Uggs, Born, Mephisto and more. All those top brands that are especially soothing to the feet. Daniel was so helpful in trying on different sizes and types of Dansko shoes, and even after paying, he insisted I try on another size instead just "to be sure" the one I got was right. It was, and that extra effort to make me (a customer) happy is what makes people coming back for decades. Congrats, Daniel, on such a successful small business. I'll be back! 5 stars!!!!

This is the second time in a few years that Patricia Jimenez helped me get a perfect shoe with the perfect fit. Patricia is very attentive, communicative, and caring, all wrapped up with extensive experience. Patricia spent over a half hour carefully selecting several shoe options for me, which resulted in another great find and perfect fit! The store itself has great staff, the same prices you would get elsewhere in other physical or online stores, and, at times, a limited selection( which is why I could only rate it a 4 star). My wife shops here as well for her nurses shoes for wearing at work in the Operating Room. The service from staff like Patricia is the reason I shop here!! Keep up the great work!!

I had a very negative experience in this store. Came to have my orthotics refurbished. I wasn't…read moresure at first if I needed simply that or a whole new pair, but I left a 100$ deposit on them anyway. First mistake. Subsequently I sat down and thought about it for a few minutes. Finally, feeling much more positive, I got up, went back to the counter/register, told a man--someone other than who I'd paid the first hundred to, "Why don't I just pay nearly balance, " or something to that effect, and handed over another hundred dollar bill. Second, big mistake. My last mistake was not checking my receipt after they handed it to me. I only looked at it the night before picking up the orthotics and was very unsettled and hardy slept that night. Because it said my balance was 125$, not having credited me with the second hundred but only the initial 100$. Instead of 225$, 325$ was the amount I ended up having to pay. But, hey, I assumed I was dealing with (mostly) honest people. Stay away from this store. Instead, find a good honest podiatrist, and if you need your orthotics refurbished, the HANGER CLINIC at 210 e 86th does that service and does a superior job. (Except you need a prescription, which is why I went to Eneslow.)
