Whatever you do, do not ever start with Bloch Alphas! I made that mistake and I still cant forgive myself after 3 years! Some Blochs are good, I didn't like the Signatures very much. For your age, if you want to try Bloch, I very highly suggest European Balances! All of the people your age at my studio have them and they LOVE them! They really compliment your feet and for a youngster like you, they will help you balance. If you want Grishko, go with the 2007s first. They are simple and very flattering and supportive. I LOVE them! I have been wearing them for a year now. After that you can try other kinds of Grishkos. I heard Freeds are hard to break in and die quickly so don't get those. And I heard that Chaccots are amazing! But out of all of those, I would suggest the European Balances!
Good Luck! Hope I helped!

You should try on many different kinds because what other people may like you may not..and what you like others may not. It's all about what feels the most comfortable to you.

no ides... 2pts!

try on all different kinds of shoes except for blochs! my favorite are freed studios 2. i also like fuzis. grishko and chacott are good too!
