Not bad to learn in, but the sound's a bit tinny...
This tap is fun to practice in because it's easy to roll up and literally walk around on your toes. Past that, though, as the other commenter said, there are better Capezio shoes. My biggest issue with the shoe is that the tap itself sounds thin to me. I prefer the Capezio Dance Sneaker, which has the Teletone II tap. That tap has a stronger, fuller sound, and the sneaker allows you to toe-stand easily. The shoe also gives you a bit more support and there's awesome shock absorption. If you're a girl, you can't audition for traditional Broadway tap in these shoes (or the sneaks). You need a heel to elongate your leg--and you can't toe-stand in Capezio heels. Or, I guess I should say *I* can't toe-stand in them. I've opted to move to Miller & Ben--which has an oxford tap with a 2" heel.

Not the best tap shoe out there...
Well, I have to say first that I am a very very good tap dancer, and this shoe is great for anyone who is dancing for fun and at a beginning level. However, I don't think long time tappers should choose this particular shoe. Capezio has made far better tap shoes than this one.

Sounds good, but isn't that great...
I'm a professional tap dancer and have been for years. I've always been a supporter of Capezio and, because I always like to know what kinds of tap shoes are out there, I always try the latest product. A few years ago, I purchased these, the MCG03's. Although the sound was better than average and the shoe fit rather comfortably, I noticed that the shoe gave almost no support whatsoever. For toe stands, they are ideal; for any other step, however, I highly encourage against them. My recommendation for any student looking for shoes is the Capezio MCG09's (the ones with the Teletone II taps). It gives better support and has an adequate sound quality for an amateur dancer. For a professional dancer (who probably is not looking at this shoe anyway), I would recommend the Capezio K360, which should later be customized with a build-up of anywhere between 1/8" and 3/8". They require a bit more money, a trip to the shoemaker, and a comparatively long time to break in, but they are well worth it.

 |  | I just wanted to write in because I have placed many orders in the last couple of months and returned several of the pairs. I am leaving for a trip to Paris in a couple of weeks and I've been searching for the right pair. I've not had much luck, but I wanted to let you guys know that it isn't because I've been unhappy with my shopping experience with Zappos. Quite the opposite actually. Because your customer service and purchasing/returning policy is so great - I just keep coming back. So thank you, for making life easier for those of us who lack the time to run around to the various shoe stores around town. You really make my life easier and give us all one less thing to worry about.
A huge fan,
