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.

These are the first ballet shoes I've had in about 20 years. Ballet shoes conform to your foot, and these are what they are supposed to be. I don't like the new elastic ties on them – I liked the cord they used in the old days better.

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 -
I have found these shoes to be true to size. The ballet shoe size correlates to street shoe size.

A little small in the toe -
I was so happy to get my first pair of ballet shoes since high school. They fit great in almost every way. They are just a tad tight in the toe. If I remember correctly though, that will work itself out with some wear. Overall, you can't beat Capezio for dance shoes.

Quality Dance Shoe -
This was the first time I bought ballet flats without a sales person forcing me to buy way too small. I prefer buying true to size and depending on the elastics to further help with fit. These came with the elastics pre-sewn that were too loose for me, so I will have to re-sew them in. Also, I prefer two elastics to sew in a criss-cross, but these came with only one set. The gathering lace is elastic and not cotton, like most shoes I have worn.
I was very surprised to discover that these shoes are made in Vietnam. I always believed that Capezio shoes were American-made. Overall, this is a quality shoe.

Looks so good and hurts so bad -
I purchased my pair of slippers 2 sizes smaller than my street shoes as directed and let me tell you, one of the shoes was so tight on my big toe that I almost suffered from a hang nail! But I will suffer through my pain and they looked good, nevertheless!

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.

If you want a ballet flat, get a ballet flat! Haven't worn these in, oh, 20 something years, but it's like wearing nothing! Love them! And Zappos of course has unbeatable service!

Perfect...fit and arrived very quickly -
My 10 year old daughter was participating in a summer theatre group and needed a dance shoe. She is tall and wears a woman's size 9 so I felt a bit lost trying to find her a ballet shoe on such short notice (last time I bought them for her she was wearing pink and she was at most a size 1). Fortunately you had just the solution. Thank you. We love Zappos...both my daughters and I!

Always a favorite -
I have always loved these for kicking around in - beware, they feel just like bare feet, so don't expect arch support, etc. Used to be that I ordered half a size smaller, but now I must order true to size.

A very sexy shoe! I have bought my wife Capezio ballet slippers for years. She loves them and they are sooo hot when worn with straight leg jeans or cut offs. When I was in high school Capezio ballet slippers were the rage - every girl had a pair but black slippers dominated, worn every where. The more worn the better!!! With all the imports of cheap Chinese made plastic knock offs its glad to read these reviews that some women love them too. I hope that they make a come back. Their classic style is timeless and YES they are great for street wear.

I normally wear a size 11W. The instructions recommended ordering a size down so I ordered a 10D slipper. The shoes were tight initially but did stretch width-wise. However, my toes went to the very end of the shoe. I gave them to my daughter, who wears an 11M and she has the same complaint about the toe. I would recommend ordering true to size.

Great customer service -
The shoe I ordered online was actually out of stock. I was offered 1/2 size smaller in wide and thought it might work but it was too short and I cannot wear it. I was given the shoe for free due to the mix up! Thanks. It is a good quality shoe and would have been perfect except for the fit. If they want them back I would be willing to ship back at my expense because they were so nice.

I purchased these at the same time that I purchased some very sensible New Balance cross-trainers (yay to Zappos, my first order with them!); while I am quite fond of the New Balance, I am absolutely in love with these little Capezios, and also the idea of being one full size smaller (6) in them, than my street size (7). Nice! I ordered 6D, thinking my feet are slightly wider than normal, but probably would have been better off with the medium width (C) - though the adjustable drawstring helps much with that, tied tautly! I've recently begun using the "New York City Ballet" book by Peter Martins as my primary exercise routine, and these work brilliantly for that (and the adorable look of these shoes prove an inspiration, truly!). Personally, I like the positioning of the elastics, and have not adjusted them like some reviewers have. They're just about perfect - and seem quite durable though they look so delicate, and when they've worn out, I'll surely buy another pair from Zappos. Superb!

Classic traditional ballet slippers -
These are for dance class (indoors only) on wood floors or surfaces suitable for dance. They can be used for indoor slippers if you like, (I'd buy regular slippers). They were not made to go outdoors. It is nice that they sew elastics in for you. However, they are a little far forward than I like and was taught to sew them in. Just as Zappos' suggests for dance buy 1 size smaller than street shoes and usual or even narrower width as leather is very soft and stretches easily.

Capezio's Teknik -
Beautifully made, fit is terrific. I bought them as slippers/VERY casual shoes, to wear after a long day in hiking boots-very, very nice. I usually wear a 7-medium so, based on prior reviews and what I wanted the shoes for, I ordered them in 6 1/2-wide so they could stretch (a LITTLE) to fit and have a little more leather in contact with the ground. I am very satisfied and will buy them again whenever they wear out.

This shoe is tinier than I expected, and so is a bit uncomfortable. Not bad for a ballet shoe; but it does feel pretty disposable. Next time I'm going for the athletic version.

Teknik Ballet -
I had taken ballet for years and wore Capezios. Now that I am older and don't dance anymore, I still buy these for fashion (great with leggings!) and for comfort. There is no comparison to those so-called ballerina skimmers that you see - the real thing SO MUCH better! Be sure to buy 1/2 size smaller than your "normal" size - they stretch.

 |  | This is a personal note of thanks for your fast, efficient, service with an order I placed on 9/1 for my granddaughter's birthday on 9/2. I never expected her to receive it until some time this upcoming week and they called to say it was there on 9/2. All too often in this day and age, praise isn't given where it should be. Thank you so much for your fine service. Zappos has served me well more than once this year. Look forward to doing future business with you. Have a nice day.
