They're made by Bloch--I don't remember the exact name of the style, I just read through sneaker reviews at discountdance.com until I found a highly rated shoe that reviewers said was good for wide feet. My feet aren't really that wide, but the neuroma in my left foot cannot abide any lateral compression, so my shoes need to be roomy. It finally dawned on me that maybe all these teachers and workshop instructors wearing dance sneakers might just be on to something, and perhaps I should give it a try too...
