BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.
BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.
Men’s Leather Oxford Tap Shoes • S0301M Jazz Tap
Men’s Leather Oxford Tap Shoes • S0301M Jazz Tap - Black / 7.5 UK is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Best For - Adult Beginners • Developing Tap Dancers • Regular Classes • Rehearsals • Musical Theatre • Stage Routines
Description
Description
From the first rhythm exercises of class to a finished stage routine, the BLOCH S0301M Men’s Jazz Tap Shoes bring a traditional Oxford shape to the work of learning and performing. Smooth leather, adjustable lacing and a low heel give these men’s tap shoes a familiar, understated look.
They are an appealing choice for adult beginners investing in a leather pair, returning dancers finding their rhythm again, and students building a regular practice. The emphasis is on a secure fit, useful structure and sound you can work with as your steps become more assured.
BLOCH Men’s Jazz Tap Shoes – Personality
Classic Oxford • Soft Leather • Adjustable Lacing • Ready for Rehearsal
A Traditional Shape with Everyday Studio Appeal
The rounded toe, neat lacing and smooth black upper make the S0301M easy to pair with rehearsal trousers, class clothing or a musical theatre costume. Its appeal is in that simplicity: a clean, recognisable tap shoe that looks equally at home beside the studio mirror and beneath stage lights.
BLOCH S0301M Men’s Tap Shoes – Design & Performance
The soft leather upper is finished with reinforced eyelets for regular lacing. An elastic join helps ease tension over the instep, while firm heel and toe counters reinforce the shoe’s shape.
A structured full sole and 1-inch heel provide a steady platform for working through changes of weight. Inside, cushioning helps soften repeated impacts. Beneath the forefoot, the Pro Balance rubber pad adds traction behind the toe plate.
BLOCH Techno toe and heel taps come attached, with the front plate mounted to a resonating board to add depth to the toe sound. This gives dancers distinct surfaces to explore as they practise articulation, timing and the relationship between toe and heel rhythms.

Dance World Tap Shoe DNA™ is an editorial comparison based on shoe construction, not laboratory testing. Higher scores show more of a characteristic, rather than a better shoe; a higher weight score means a heavier feel. Fit, size, floor and technique affect the experience.
Dance World Notes
A Men’s Tap Shoe for Building Your Practice
Why It Works: Returning to the same pair each week lets you become familiar with its fit and response. We would place the S0301M with dancers looking for a traditional leather Oxford for classes, rehearsals and the occasional performance.
Sound Character: Take time to explore separate toe and heel sounds before combining them. Short, repeated rhythm patterns help you listen for even timing and a consistent strike as your familiarity with the shoes develops.
Studio to Stage: The simple Oxford shape is easy to build a costume around. Rehearse in the socks and trousers you intend to perform in, so the fit and trouser length feel familiar on the day.
Dance World Tip: Adjust the lacing across the whole foot before tightening the bow. Aim for an evenly secure hold with room for your toes to lie flat, rather than relying on tight laces at the top alone.
