Customer Reviews Capezio Daisy

Bought the pinks ones for dance exercises. Classic style is always cute but they're definitely not as nice as ones purchased in past years. Have a cheap feel and I can't get them tight enough for my narrow feet even with the drawstring. Had to go up half a size from my usual for the right length. Overall they're OK for what I needed but nothing great.

I normally wear 6M but 6M in these flats are too wide. I tried pulling the strings to make them tighter, but still ridiculously wide. These are going back! Order one width size down probably helps.

First off, Zappos is wonderful! But . . . I wanted some slippers with a smooth sole for dancing on carpet, and ballet slippers fit the bill. I wear an 8½N but since I would be wearing sox, I chose a 9M. They were too short and too wide. Wonderful Zappos took them back, and I ordered a 9½N. The width was better, but the length is still quite short. I'll keep them and see if they stretch with wearing. Those are the reasons for the poor review.

I've done ballet for approximately 30 years, and got a pair of Daisys when my old beloved Capezio Juliets blew out at the sole seam. I'd forgotten how stiff (for a dancer) a full sole ballet slipper is. Dislike, too, that the elastic comes pre-attached, other than cutting it off and starting anew, there is no way you can get a customized fit. For non-ballet-dancers, they're probably good as a knockaround slipper indoors. Don't expect them to last more than a couple of months if you wear them on pavement, and there is absolutely no padding to them. There shouldn't be. They are a purpose-built shoe, and work well for dancers who need to flex against some resistance, but for everyone else, I'd suggest you keep looking.

got weird shoe . i purchased a pair in that one is fine and other elastic is like used so many times

What a disappointment. Seems Capezio isn't what it used to be! Looks like I'll need to find another brand of ballet slippers after wearing Capezio's for all my life.

Terrible shoe. I bought them for just around the house, I wear between a 9 1/2 and 10 and the biggest size they had was a 10 and my big toe was poking the top of the shoe, I got a med. width, and it was too wide. Returning.

Wow, I could smell this horrible plastic toxic smell before I even opened the package! These poor little ballet shoes are super duper cheap and they do not provide room for my big toe & I have Cinderella feet. Capezio should do a name change to Cheapezio...but Zappos, you are fabulous!
