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.

Surprisingly, the shoes are comfortable for dancing. I recommend them but for me, I had to order a half size larger and a wider width. They tend to run narrow and shorter. I am happy with them since I have not had heels on my feet for many years.

Capezio T-Strap - I'm having a BIG problem with this shoe: The straps are too thick for me to thread through the metal part in order to strap shoe comfortably, so I'm going to have to return it unless you think a shoemaker can fix problem!

Yes, they _do_ run narrow - I ordered these based on the Capezio name, and the fact that they're leather rather than a synthetic material. I ordered both a 6.5 (my usual size) and a 7, based on reviews here; the 6.5 is a slightly better fit. I then ordered a pair of Leo's T-Strap based on the large number of very positive reviews of that shoe -- which looks practically identical but is synthetic, not leather -- and they feel _wonderful_. They're wider and softer. I recommend them for anyone interested in this shoe but worried about the narrow widths.

I'd also recommend: Leo's T-Strap

Dancin' Shoes - The shoe is comfortable, I ordered 1/2 size up based on other reviews & am glad I did. They fit perfectly that way. I wish the nail on the heel was in bit more, but it does not mar any surfaces the way it is.

I really like these shoes. I ordered the wide, but they are not wide at all. They do fit, but are a little snug in the front. I do like them though as the heel is nice and low and they look very neat. It would be nice if they were just a little rounder in the front so they wouldn't fit so snug. The shoe has a very good arch support. That is a plus +.

Good support but snug in toe - I like this shoe. It's sturdy but a little snug in the toe. At a "W" width, I expected a little more comfort. Fine for a night of dancing on a crowded floor. Not a finesse shoe but serviceable.
