Adult Warm-up Boots

These booties are a great benefit to me with my health challenges. Their Customer Service Personnel was most helpful through my purchase. Brought back many memories of the 15 years I shopped for my little ballerina.

Love these warm-up booties! Great to wear to ballet class. I can even wear my pointe shoes inside. They help to keep my feet warm and keep my ballet shoes clean.

My older dancers love these over their pointe shoes. They arrive for class and are ready for warm-up and conditioning class. Saves a lot of time.

These have been calling to me for so long! I am so excited to finally have them. My feet are often cold, not only in winter in the summer too. I purchased these because they seem like a great way to stay warm between classes or break when I’m not leaving the studio and I do not require the use of a street shoe. Hopefully it will help to cut down warm up time between breaks. My foot is a street size women’s 6/7. I ordered the Medium in charcoal and black. They fit perfectly and they are super comfortable. The sole is very flexible, which seems great for warming and working my feet for class. I’ll try to remember to update on durability and effectiveness. I’m very happy so far.

Runs small. I'm a 7 and a half to 8 and ordered a Medium (size range 6 - 8). My toes just barely touch the ends inside. If you're an 8 and want room for shoes, order a Large. For me, they are fine. Snug but comfy!

My daughter wears a. 7 in street shoes. So I ordered a 7 in the warm up boot. She couldn't even get them over her feet.

I got these boots because I wanted to be more comfortable while going to dance, and because everybody has them lol. They are the cheapest I've seen and they are extremely comfortable and warm. I am size 7, so I ordered the large. It is pretty big FOR ME, but my feet will grow. I highly recommend these to every dancer!

I need these in my life. I wear them every day to warm my feet up or to keep them warm during breaks. I have gone through 2 pairs ever. My first pair lasted me through my 4 years of college. If you wear them a lot after awhile they do start to tear, etc., but for what you're paying I think 4 years is a great amount of time.

I got these bootys in a size large so I could wear my pointe shoes under them and I'm very glad i did so !! I love the hot pink and the price and quality is really really great!! i wear these during the day because they keep your feet so nice and cozy. I also wear them to and fro my car to the dance studio so i end up walking on pavement a little bit which has resulted in a little bit of fraying but not a problem, I HIGHLY recommend these.

These booties are great for warming up before class, keeping your feet warm during breaks or particularly cold days, and they're also good for protecting your pointe shoes between scenes in shows, so having the booties be a little big is a good thing.

I really love these boots. My foot size is a seven so I ordered the medium. The size is a little big on me especially because they are wide and my foot is skinny , but I like it because it leaves room to put on over pointe shoes. If you do not plan on wearing them over pointe shoes and you are on the cut off between sizes then I would recommend getting the smaller size. I wear these around the house and they have a semi-sole so I will occasionally wear them to the dance studio and they are fine walking from the car to the studio. The only thing that is a little bit negative is that if you want to wear them with bare feet then they get really sweaty, so i tend to wear them with socks. Other than that I absolutely love these boots and my feet are literally always cold, so I love having them in the winter. I ordered the light pink and even though it is a light color the fabric is good and I'm not worried about them getting dirty.

I usually wear 8.5 for street shoes and 6W for jazz or ballet slippers. I ordered the red large size. It's bulky for my feet but that doesn't bother me because I can wear my dance shoes in it. I really enjoy wearing them while I'm reading to prepare for my night barre routine.

I LOVE these warm up booties! I got mine in red and a size large since I'm a street size 8, and I wanted room to wear them with my dance shoes on. There's plenty of room! They keep your feet soooo warm and toasty in between rehearsals or when warming up in a cold studio. They're also waterproof, so you can still wear them on rainy days. This is definitely my best purchase from DDS so far.

I received these booties for Christmas a few months ago, and I love them so far! They warm up your feet very quickly and they're very comfortable and cute (I got the bright blue color). But, they do run big. I have a size 7 and I got a size medium and they are slightly too large. But it's not a big deal, and I'm actually able to use these over my pointe shoes. Overall, I would definitely recommend to any dancer!

I got these for my 10 year old daughter in purple. She wears a women's 5-6 shoe depending on the brand, & also has a narrow foot. I returned the small because with her ballet shoe on it was a perfect fit. I wanted some growing room so I ordered the Medium. It gives her about 2 thumbs growing room. The top opening is also smaller than I would have expected. She LOVES them!

I adore these like all the reviewers before me; they are lightweight and keep my feet super warm without all the bulk other booties have. I wear a 7.5 street and have pairs in adult small and medium. The smalls fit snug like a slipper and the mediums have extra room so I wear them over my ballet flatties. I wanted to mention something for the guys. I bought a pair for a male friend, his street size is 10.5/11 and these were too small. We were so disappointed these didn't fit! I really wish Bloch made an XL for the dance dudes, they need to keep warm too!

I absolutely adore thes boots.I ordered them in red, and since I wear a size 10, I ordered a large.They came in, and fit almost perfectly, only a little wide and long.After a few wears, the foam or whatever smushed down a teeny bit, but not too much.The material at the bottom formed perfectly to my arches.My pointe shoes fit perfectly in them. The boots are great for breaking in shoes, as your feet heat up the pointe shoe forms to your feet.The color and quality is beautiful, even though I thought the price was a little much.These boots are a great investment, and I recommend them.

I wear a size 7 -or- 7 1/2 (depending on the shoe). I ordered size small in these booties. They fit perfect and warm your feet up instantly! Really soft booties would recommend to any ballerina. I really like that you can adjust the booties tighter or looser to fit your feet perfectly. I'd say anyone between a 5 1/2 -7 1/2 could fit the small as it runs a tad large. The product size chart recommended a medium but I read reviews on how they run large so ordered one size down. Glad I did! Definitely using them during barre warm-ups.

I bought booties a few days ago, and they are AWESOME! I practically wear them 24/7! They warm up my feet really well but not too much as to make my feet sweaty and gross. The only flaw is that they run pretty large. Buy them a size small, unless you enjoy having your shoes move up and down and side to side on your feet when walking :). I can't really say much about durability as they are still pretty new, but so far they are holding up well, and all of my friends have a pair that all have lasted for a while. Wearing pointe shoes inside them is pretty fun! My new favorite dance accessories! :)

Had these for a long time and took care of them so they lasted longer than others. Try not to go in rain/water with them, and i know they scuff on the ground but thats normal. In winter time this and my sansha fleece sac and jacket were key to not freezing, but there good in summer too.

I would probably wear these everywhere if I could... I got these a year ago, and used them through summer intensive and class for the last 5 months. I'm not allowed to use them during regular class, so I use them backstage or before class to stay warm. I'm a 6.5 size shoe, and got a medium to fit my pointe shoes in as well. They're perfect for when I'm en pointe, but when my shoes aren't in there they're pretty big. I'd stay true to your size if you just want to use them barefoot or in flats, but definitely go up a size if you want to wear pointe shoes in them. They're the comfiest things and I'd definitely say buy them!

I love these. My dancer daughter wears a size 6.5 shoe and bought these in a size large so she can wear her pointe shoes under them. she doesnt mind the large size. I tried them on and they are very comfy. I wear a size 9 and the large are a bit big on me. I think I could wear a large or a medium, but I would order a medium to wear bare feet with them. They are comfy and warm, yet light. The bottom sole is not really for outside but is a light rubber.

I ordered these booties a little over 3 months ago. I love them so much! I got mine in the charcoal/black color. The fit is great and i always wear these to ballet everyday. I also can wear my pointe shoes with them. So that way I can keep my feet warm and keep my pointe shoes clean at the same time. My only complaint is that there is not very many color options, but I love them so much.

My daughter used several "slipper-looking" booties and socks but they all ended up either dirty, not protecting her feet (especially the sole part) or not keeping her feet warm. These Bloch booties are comfortable, they keep her feet warm and the sole is not thin. Now they even come in many colors. My daughter wears them in the studio and in the theater when she is not performing. They are a bit pricey but they are worth it because they last a very long time.

These booties are amazing,.they feel like you are walking on the moon. Lots of people from my studio have them now. It seems to be the trend! They are almost always out of stock here. If look on other sites they have them for a lower price times with more colors, and in stock! I've seen neon pink, neon orange, navy, turquoise, candy pink, and several more!

I first saw these in "First Position" a ballet documentary, then I saw a whole bunch of girls at auditions wearing them, then a girl at my studio got them. I have actually wanted them for a long time and I finally got these as a late Birthday present yesterday and it is the best thing I could ever imagine! I received them in purple. They are so warm and comfy and they feel like walking on pillows, better yet, Clouds! They fit over my pointe shoes and they are perfect for stretching in and wearing before classes. They are also great for in between Ballet rehearsals and shows. These are awesome... BUY THEM!!:)

oh my gosh! I got these today for my thirteenth birthday and i love them so so much! They are so soft and feel like you're walking on a cloud. My dressing room is in the basement of my studio, and they keep my feet warm when i walk upstairs. I wore them before I had to dance and my tootsies were warm and toasty. Definitely the BEST dance product you can buy. It is worth every penny.

Got these for the wife and then later myself. Now even my doughters and son have them. Theyre prefect for in between classes as they keep your feet from becomeing to cold and cramping up. Great for relaxing and staying warm will in the studio. Get them as soon as you can they are will worth the price.

I love these! I have them in purple....love the color. The bottom has a thick sole so you can wear them to class! Just don't walk around town in them! These keep my feet super warm! Problem..they make your feet look super puffy. Also expect them to be big. If you're an 8, it fits like a 10 because its an 8-10. But don't get them small. 10 out of 10 100 out of 100. I recommend!!!!!!!!!!<3

I first saw these in the ballet documentary "First Position." Then the ballet TV show "Bunheads." I thought it was some kind of a marketing strategy. Then I saw lots of students in my class wearing them. I just thought it was a fad. I sometimes wear flip flops and whatever inconsistent type of shoes, and wanted something that I can wear before/after my ballet class. I ordered small (I wear woman street size 6), and they are perfect for me. They are great because they will keep your feet warm. It's really helpful after class because my ankles are sore from jumping and all that. I just walk outside a bit to walk to my car, then drive home. I don't recommend wearing them outside, but the amount of exposure I have seems ok so far. I absolutely love them! :)

I just received my boots in the mail this afternoon and I've worn them around the house most of the day and I absolutely LOVE them! They're so comfy and keep your feet extra warm when it's chilly outside. I plan on wearing them at competitions when I don't want to put on a full shoe but certainly don't want to walk around barefoot in between dances or on stage for award ceremonies, I think they'll be perfect!

The Blue Floro color is the bright blue color, close to turquoise.
- DDS Customer Service (12/15/2015)

I think you're asking about the 'floro' blue color? They are a bright, bright florescent blue. Bloch makes them in bright pink (dark, like a bright fuchsia) and really bright orange (like a highlighter!). The blue is really vibrant and fun, medium in shade. In fact; all these colors make me think of highlighters! Hope this helps; happy shopping :) - Kelbell (12/28/2015)

So I wear a 8 in street shoe and also have very narrow feet. I've read some reviews and most of them say they run large. I want to be able to wear these over my Pointe shoes. What size should I get? For my narrow feet? A L or a M?

The manufacturer's suggested sizing for this item is as follows: S(4-6),M(6-8),L(8-10) Please note, sizing cannot be guaranteed.
- DDS Customer Service (12/11/2014)

I think the color of the charcoal/black booties is gray with a black lining. But in the pictures it appears to be all black. I would love to purchase some gray and black booties but I am confused as to what color the charcoal actually is. Thanks

The charcoal is a darker gray and black. There is a distinct difference between the gray and the black on the actual product.

Wear size 6.5 in street shoes. On another website it says a S = 6.5-7.5 but here on DDS it says S = 4-6. I also wanna be able to wear pointe shoes with them. Please help before they go out of stock again!!

Based on our size chart, I would recommend you order a size Medium, which covers a street shoe size 6-8.

I wear a 6 in street shoe and I bought a small in these booties. For me there the perfect size. They keep me warm, but I still have tons of room to wear pointe shoes. I would recommend a small because they are a great size for me and we have similar shoe sizes. :) - Bunheadballerina (11/18/2014)

I need something to wear to/at competitions and recitals and this looks good but I don't know if you can wear these outside. So I'm curious if I can wear these outside.

These booties do not have a hard sole, so technically they can be worn outside and in-between classes/recitals, but I would not recommend wearing them outside for extended periods of time.

Little bit is fine. I leave the ballet studio, and walk on asphalt for about 1 min (in the parking lot) and that's ok for these shoes. It's not as fragile as your ballet slippers or pointe shoes, but obviously not as strong as your street shoes. - Natashia (09/21/2013)

The vendor is having EXTREME difficulty getting these in. We are still filling backorders from November and will continue to not have these on the website until all of our backorders have been filled.

Currently Bloch is having extreme difficulties even getting in the charcoal, purple, or red. After they fill all of our backorders (that have been pending since November), we may carry the new color.
