Two of my tango friends were wearing this shoe at a workshop and I had to buy them. The reviews were great to begin with. The shipping policy on Zappos.com is unbeatable, with free shipping to you and free shipping for returns. As one who dislikes paying for shipping and handling at all costs, that was a large factor in me purchasing them here. The shoes themselves are *thin* - very very *thin* layer of fabric between your soles and the floor, but surprisingly there is enough cushion to support and protect your feet. I ordered a 1/2 size above my street size and it fit like a glove. I wear thin socks with them and I can easily dance in them 2-3 hours. Highly recommend them.

This sneaker does feel comfortable when I'm taking my Zumba classes but it is ugly. It bulges from the sides which makes your feet not sleek and gorgeous but rather clumsy looking. If you wear long pants that covers the ankles you can get away with it. Since these were my first pair I can't compare it to any other but it felt just fine with the turns I was making, I do feel like I would've liked it to be a bit smoother. I had to purchase a 1/2 larger than my regular sneaker size b/c it is too snug.

My favorite Capezio shoe is the T-Strap. My husband and I dance country western. My first pair was 26 years ago. I had black and beige. I wanted more colors, but they weren't available. When the beige shoes got so scuffed (from husband stepping on me) the shoe man dyed them a light gray for me...to match my husband’s boots!! The black ones are being resoled and heeled for the third time! The first time I wore them, they fit like a glove...and to my delight I didn't get any blisters. I am the proud owner of 5 pair now and I won't wear anything else for dancing or when I get dressed up. There is nothing else that compares...and Zappos was wonderful to deal with. Thank you Zappos. I look forward to many more years of doing business with you.

This is a great shoe!! I have unusual feet - 10 AA and I wasn't sure these shoes would be very comfortable when I received them because they still felt a little wide. My fears were totally unfounded because the first time I wore the shoes I danced for 2 hours and they were extremely comfortable! That was the first time I wore them! I was shocked! I would highly recommend them!

I was looking for a dance shoe that would be sturdy and comfortable whilst remaining flattering and I found exactly that in the Capezio Professional Footlight. Best of all the fit was pretty true to size. I have a wide foot so I ordered the 10 W and the fit was near perfect! Admittedly it was a little tight but given time I assume the leather will stretch. I have yet to do any serious dancing in the shoes but just in wearing them around the theatre I have discovered them to be very comfortable. I am looking forward to dancing in these shoes. Also, I have to add, that the shipping was extraordinary!!! I ordered them at around 7pm and the next day they were at my door step when I came home! I was amazed and thank Zappos for their great service. I highly recommend this shoe and Zappos as a company to anyone who is looking for a sturdy and professional character/tap shoe.

This shoe is just a nice, not too costly, adequate shoe; it is comfortable, and the canvas is not that ugly. The pink on the strap is strange but it's a pale pink, not a hot pink as some people seem to claim (unless they've changed the design). I would probably go with a more traditional character shoe next time, but this one was less costly. Also, it runs a tiny bit large, but I kept the size I ordered because I wasn't sure if the next size down would be too small.

I have a small foot but listened to the other reviews and ordered a 7(!). Perhaps the sizing anomaly gets worse in the larger sizes or they meant 2 half sizes. Anyway ended up reordering a 6 and 6.5 (normal size 5.5 - 6). I'm still not sure which is better. The 6.5 is long, but the 6 is a little narrow. The debate is still on. The lacing system is GREAT. I have a very high instep and 1 tug on the laces tightens the toe perfectly, snugs the shoe up into my arch but doesn't press on my instep. I wish running shoe companies would adopt that system. Wearing them helped with my plantar fascia.

Capezio Latin T-Strap Sandal - 2.5"

Reviewer:Victoria from Binghamton, NY

Overall Rating:

I like the color. Although it is called tan it is a rosy tan and quite attractive. The availability of W in size 5.5 was great and actually fit nicely with wider toe box than the other M-width shoes I ordered and yet a heel counter that fit snugly and supportively. Despite the wide toe, the cutout rubbed my big toe. Maybe a 1/2 size up or down would fix that, however, the insole lining changes from suede to the smooth leather just under the ball of the foot. The resultant bump bugs me. I remember Capezio ballet shoes doing that too.

I have trouble finding underwear that fits because my left leg is larger than my right. Since these accommodate 4 toes on one side and one on the other, the size comes out perfect.

Extremely disappointed! These are probably the worst shoes I've tried to dance in thus far! First of all they are extremely uncomfortable, I can feel the suede padding through the shoe the entire time I'm dancing, I've only danced in them 3 times and the canvas is already fraying! Even after distressing the bottom, they are very slippery and I've had a very hard time controlling spins. What a waste of money! It's an attractive shoe, but I'll take comfort, support and quality over that!

Good Dance Shoe - These are great for belly dancing. My only complaint is that they twist a little when twisting your foot into the floor. Other than that, it's as close to dancing barefoot as you could get.

Capezio Jazz - Ordering the size 1 1/2 sizes larger than street shoe was perfect fit. The uncushioned heel takes a little bit of getting used to.

You really should order up at least 1 size - These are great shoes for dance, theatre, or (for my use) wedding reception wear. HOWEVER, I have 3 different pair or Capezio's ballet shoes and you really need to order at least 1 size up from your street shoe size. They run very small.

Capezio's Fierce Dancesneaker - These shoes are great. They are light weight and provide great arch flexibility. I needed a full size larger than my regular size for a perfect fit.

I AM THANKFUL AND PLEASED...I am doing a show (a play) that requires me to change shoes quickly, feel comfortable and enables me to walk (I am not kidding) without stumbling around. I am having knee surgery right after the performance. These shoes are terrific in every way, even the pink elastic works with my pink skirt. I have been rehearsing in them just to make certain they would work for me and they do indeed. Thanks again to Zappos for getting them here in what seems to be a blink of the eye.

Too tight even a size larger - Not a lot of cushion, so not so sure this will work for Jazzercise. I thought/expected better.

Reviewer:Sharon Y from San Jose, CA

I thought I liked this shoe, but I wore it once on the stage and the heel started to wobble on the right shoe. My foot slid forward and the heel bent backward, like it would snap off if I put too much weight on it. I am not a very heavy person, so I am sure the heel should not loosen up from standing on it! It's just not well-attached to the sole. The design is bad...needs some kind of connecting bridge between the heel and the rest of the shoe to prevent it from separating from the sole. I am very disappointed but Zappos is great and said I could return it because it's defective. I have ordered some other brands to try to replace the shoe, in a mary jane style to look like a theatrical shoe. This shoe is cheap and you get what you pay for! I like the Capezio professional line...costs three times the price, but they are sold out of the lower heels in my size. I have the 3" Professional Stage t-straps and needed a low heel.

Great ballroom dance shoe! It feels so comfortable, has the perfect heel for me and enables me to spin easily. And it protects my toes from partners.

I am in a theatrical production and needed a medium low heel that I can really run across the stage in. I have the 3" Stage Professional T-strap of Capezio's, but I needed to be able to run in these. I usually wear a size 8M, but I got several pairs in different sizes and the size 8.5W fit me just right with room to put in an orthotic. However, this is the first Capezio I ever saw with padding and an arch support already! Even the expensive Professional ones I already have no padding or arch support! I really like these and they don't look wide even in the wide width. Only thing is I wish Capezio would standardize their fit and sizing! I'm sick of trying to guess what size I wear! Thank goodness for Zappos and their great shipping and return policy! Got 'em overnight and have the others already packed to send back. I love Zappos!

Love these! My feet perspire and I slip and slide doing sun salutations, these worked great for keeping me from sliding. They're comfortable, I hardly notice I have them on. I have tiny feet and these slide up a little bit during more active classes, but overall - they're worth it!

Good for dance class - Shoe has no cushioning, but bends well. Better than gym shoes for dance classes as it doesn't stick. However, at some points it is actually too slippery.
