    The Capezio ballet slipper is comfortable and attractive. It wears well and is easily wiped clean.

    FYI, I ended up buying the slightly wide size, 1 1/2 sizes bigger than my daughter's foot measured at a shoe store recently. After 2 returns, the third time was the charm!

    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.

    I was very happy with my order. It arrived pretty quick after I ordered it. I did order a half size bigger then normal because I had read previous reviews. Overall, very happy.

    I have always loved these as around-the-house lounge shoes. However, If you want a ballet flat to wear with a formal or as a fashion statement, buy one designed for that purpose! There are lots to choose from! This shoe does not have the support or the sole to be worn outside and it not designed for walking! That being said, it is cute and comfortable to wear around the house.

    Beautifully constructed of soft leather with strong seams. The wide elastic strap stays flat and is subtly embellished with the Capezio signature which is an elegant detail. As with most dance shoes, order a half size smaller than your street shoes for a proper fit as the shoe will form to the shape of your feet. This is a terrific shoe, fitting better and lasting longer than other brands.

    The classic. Don't dance, just love to wear them around the house in place of slippers. Definitely run small; need to order a full size up.

    Perfect fit - The quality of this shoe is demonstrated in the details of the stitching and the materials used. Capezio has always been a standard for the perfect ballet shoe and it's because of the quality you get from Capezio.

    Great for ballet, just a tad bit snug in the toe - I purchased the Teknik ballet slipper and so far have been quite satisfied with the fit. Having not taken ballet in quite some time, I do not remember if the shoes were this snug at the end of the toe box. I may have been a bit more comfortable with a 1/2 size larger.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Love the women's Asics running shoes

    I got these shoes for my 9 year old granddaughter who has very wide feet. I was thrilled to find the extra wide but even that was not wide enough for her. She couldn't even get them on. I ordered the size of her street shoe and sent them back for a full size larger. Zappos got us a replacement before I even got the first pair mailed back. Wonderful service and here in time for dance class. Couldn’t be happier.

    Great gift - My niece loves these!!! She asked Santa for real ballet shoes two years in a row, and he could never find them. I found them, and more, at Zappos, and now I am, even more than before, the cool aunt. They do run big. I ordered a half size smaller, and they are fine to play around in the house, but for lessons and actual ballet, you should order a full size lower than your usual size.

    Fantastic customer service!! The shoes I ordered for my daughter were terrific but the best thing about this company is their customer service. My daughter is growing out of youth sizes and they were so helpful with advice about which adult size might work best. You speak to someone right away they are extremely courteous and it was the best service I've received in years from any company. Way to go! I'll be back!

    Sizing is extremely small! My 7 year old daughter wears a 2 1/2 - 3 street shoe. After 2 returns, a size 4 1/2 is what she's now wearing in this ballet shoe.

    Nice quality ballet shoe - I bought these for a dance class. Nice quality leather and construction. They look nicer on the foot than they do in the picture. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than my regular shoe size. I feel some very slight rubbing on the back of the heel, but I expect them to stretch out.

    A little snug - I ordered the ballet slipper in a full size larger than I normally wear, and it still felt a little snug, but it stretches, so that's ok. I like the way it looks.
