Bloch Dance Men's Xavier Ballroom Shoe

In a handsome oxford silhouette, the Xavier from Bloch is a traditional ballroom and salsa dancing shoe. The smooth leather upper is set atop a low wide heel and short shank for maximum arch support, all the while still maintaining flexibility for ease in demi-pointe. The insole is fully cushioned to protect and absorb shock for the metatarsals, while the suede outsole provides traction and ease on turns and slides. Founded in Sydney, in 1932 by Jacob Bloch, Bloch is a pioneer in the technical dance market. Since its inception, the renowned footwear brand has produced handmade pointe shoes for esteemed ballet dancers worldwide. Bloch recently entered an exciting new period of innovation and fashion design with the creation of mainstream footwear, following the demands by current customers to create street-ready shoes.
