Bloch Super Jazz Shoe – Girls (S0401G)
Slip on jazz shoes for girls need to solve one problem above all else: getting a young dancer’s foot in and out of the shoe quickly, without laces to tie or a struggle before class. The Bloch Super Jazz does exactly that with a strong elastic top piece in place of laces, wrapped around real full grain leather construction that’s a step up from a basic synthetic beginner shoe.
Why does a laceless design matter for a young dancer?
Young dancers — and the adults helping them get ready — don’t need one more thing to fuss with before class starts. The Super Jazz’s elastic top insert stretches to let the foot slide in easily, then holds snug once it’s on, with nothing to come untied mid-combination or during a costume change backstage at recital. It’s a small detail that saves real time and frustration, especially for the toddler and early-elementary sizes where independence with shoes is still developing.
What does the split sole and EVA outsole actually do?
The rubber split sole lets the foot articulate through the arch instead of fighting a single rigid sole, which supports the pointed-foot lines that come up early in jazz training. The EVA outsole on top is built specifically for balance — light enough not to weigh a small foot down, with enough texture to grip the floor through turns without sticking. Full grain soft leather on the upper shapes to the foot over time, and a 100% cotton lining keeps things breathable through a full class.

Care Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| Cleaning | Wipe the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth |
| Drying | Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat |
| Do not | Machine wash, soak, or dry near a heat source — leather stiffens and cracks |
| Note | Studio floors only — outdoor wear wears through the outsole and dulls grip |

Bloch’s own guidance for this style: start with the same size as your dancer’s everyday street shoe, sizing up half a size if she’s between sizes or you want more room. Unlike Bloch’s ballet or tap lines, the Super Jazz stays true to street shoe size rather than running a size or more off. This chart is a guide only; come in and we’ll fit length and width in person.
