    These shoes are just great -- buy a size larger than street. So glad to find good dancing shoes in a wide width, and an appearance the envy of my dancing compatriots.

    The shoe is running 1 whole size smaller than what is advertised. I ordered a 10.5 and wear a 10 and it is still too small in the toe area.

    Perfect for dance - These are so comfortable you almost (almost) forget they're on your feet. I've stood/danced/done blocking in these in rehearsals for over 3 hours and still been comfortable. I ordered them in my regular size (7 m) and they fit just fine. THANKS ZAPPOS!

    I love these shoes! I was very skeptical at first because there were some negative reviews, but I am so happy that I did purchase them. Some of the reviews stated that there was a need to size up. You do not need to size up! At first they are a bit snug, but once you break them in they are perfect. The shoe is pretty good quality and my director loves them! I recommend them to all!

    I'm 48 years old and wear an 8.5 to 9 wide shoe. This fit well (true to size and width) style was adorable but I didn't like the color. Was a very flat looking black color, almost like a dusty black. I chose the "TicTacToe" shoe instead. It wasn't as cute in style but had a richer black faux leather texture.

    About Capezio

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Capezio are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Salvatore Capezio was born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy. Uninterested in following in his father’s footsteps as a construction engineer, he became an artist of his own right, a cobbler. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Soon, the shop became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to discuss their needs and to get a pair of his shoes. As Capezio’s popularity grew, dancers from around the world made it a point to visit him and purchase his shoes.

    The innovation of the products that Salvatore Capezio created and the camaraderie he shared with the dancers molded the direction that his company would follow. In this image, the Capezio brand was established to promote and recognize ongoing achievements and participation in dance.

    Capezio products remain in the forefront in quality and in technological advances with innovations like the split-sole, the stretch-insert, the Dansneaker® and the Tapsneaker. Capezio believes that their success is dependent upon the individual commitment of each customer to continually set new standards of creativity and performance, while preserving a reputation for dependability and distinction. Capezio pledges their support and dedication to the advancement of dance, theater and recreation in communities worldwide.

    After several returns, I choose these marvelous shoes. Dance shoes are best for me, mostly because I have very sensitive feet (although I do take ballroom dance classes). These soft shoes fit like a glove and are still supportive. They were my wedding shoes. Dyed them white and had a ball; comfortable all day. A special thank you to Zappos from this older bride for your low prices, free shipping, and calming customer service reps.

    Put a sparkle in your step - We purchased these shoes for our daughter. She needed them for a summer theater group. I was nervous ordering shoes online, but was thankful to have input from previous buyers. These shoes are working out great and we would highly recommend them.

    Pageant Ready - I used these shoes for the production numbers we performed at Miss Michigan Outstanding Teen Pageant this past week. I enjoyed them and they were easy to walk and dance in. I would recommend these shoes if you need a pair of black heels and your feet are too small to wear normal heels like me.

    Brands I'd also recommend: I would recommend the tan character shoe.

    Cindy L. I've recently purchased this stylish tap shoe and am extremely happy. Very comfortable and easy to tap in. I generally wear a size 8 1/2, but ordered a size 9 medium and it fits perfect. At 53 years old and experiencing tap dancing lessons at my local YMCA, I'm the envy of the class with these shoes!

    from Connecticut

    GORGEOUS! A beautiful character shoe! Very pricey, but worth it. I use it as a tap shoe. Hard leather sole is very sturdy, but flexible enough. Heel height is perfect-sexy but not too high to dance. High quality leather broke in very fast, and bound edges didn't rub. I put in gel-pads for shock absorption at the ball of the foot. I recommend for serious dancers!
