Character Shoes

BLOCH: Womens Splitflex 2.5" Heel Character Shoes

  • A great start to character shoes. 

  • Come in black and tan - as a Musical Theatre student, it is recommended to have both a black and tan character shoe (the "tan" hopefully matching your skin tone). But don't go buying two pairs of the same shoes before you know if you love them or not!
