strictly come dancing

When Vladimir Nabokov described nostalgia as an “insane companion,” he didn’t have shoes in mind (as far as we know, anyway). But more than a few women harbor a special fondness for their old “Nutcracker” fancies, so much so that one of the world’s preeminent makers of dance shoes, the Australia-based Bloch, has seen its Covent Garden shop overrun by grown-up girls, insane companions in tow, determined to wear soft-sole slippers out on the street. In response, the company is launching its first-ever range of street shoes, Bloch London, next spring. The new line has already found favor with buyers at Fred Segal, among other trend-spotting stores worldwide.
