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.
