I would recommend this shoe to others who are just beginning dance. The heel is high enough to make you feel like a professional dancer and yet low enough for comfort. I also purchased a pair with 21/2 inch heel I would rate them as having the same qualities.

Great dance shoe at a reasonable price. Shoe fits snug and I have a narrow foot so this works well for me.

As expected -
Only one comment: There is little to no padding, so standing or dancing for long period of time is hard on the feet.

Great dance practice shoe -
I bought this shoe because of the T-strap just for some variation in my dance shoes. It is a nice-looking shoe for ballroom practice. Comfortable with sufficient toe room and the heel height is attractive but still practical. I did buy a half size larger than I wear in street shoes, but I find that in almost all my dance shoes, I need that half size larger. But I would say that the shoe is most likely true to size. I have long toes so I need the extra toe room when I am on the dance floor. I would highly recommend this shoe for dancing.

Any Capezio shoe.

Good shoe for ballroom practice -
This shoe would be perfect for practicing ballroom dancing. However, at least for me, it fit a size too small. I am normally a 7, but it was too short. Otherwise, a great buy and comes in narrow!

I really liked the way these looked out of the box. They have a bit more style than the Capezio Manhattan Character shoe. But the arch hit in a strange place. I wear a size 5, and had to use the tightest hole on the strap, which worried me that I'd have problems down the road if they stretched. I ultimately chose the Leo's New York T-Strap instead.

I bought the wide size, but it was still too narrow. Cute style, just doesn't fit my foot.

I am a size 9 but the 9 was quite tight in the toes. Even so, my heels lifted out of the back when I walked. I tried the 9 1/2's and they were more comfortable in the toebox, but still had the heel-lifting problem.

I thought I liked this shoe, but I wore it once on the stage and the heel started to wobble on the right shoe. My foot slid forward and the heel bent backward, like it would snap off if I put too much weight on it. I am not a very heavy person, so I am sure the heel should not loosen up from standing on it! It's just not well-attached to the sole. The design is bad...needs some kind of connecting bridge between the heel and the rest of the shoe to prevent it from separating from the sole. I am very disappointed but Zappos is great and said I could return it because it's defective. I have ordered some other brands to try to replace the shoe, in a mary jane style to look like a theatrical shoe. This shoe is cheap and you get what you pay for! I like the Capezio professional line...costs three times the price, but they are sold out of the lower heels in my size. I have the 3" Professional Stage t-straps and needed a low heel.

I like these shoes. I have bad knees, so I need shoes that offer support and stability, but I also want shoes that are dressy and comfortable. I did not care for the color at first, but it is a shade that can be worn with brown or black. The soles are leather which I have to get used to - very much quality. I will enjoy for many years.

Zappos made shopping for dance shoes a breeze. I received the shoes in just a couple of days. I was able to try on and compare different styles and sizes right in my home to find the best fit for me. After I had made my choice, returning the other choices was a breeze. Zappos makes returns a simple and efficient process. The Capezio T-strap shoes fit true to size and seem to be of good quality.

I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit due to my narrow heel and more average ball of the foot. Zappos is my saving grace! This is the second pair of shoes I have bought from Zappos and they fit just as well as the Vanelis I bought the first time. They are so comfortable, the heel is not too high, but high enough to be stylish, and the shoe runs true to size. Additionally how can you not love a retailer that gives you upgraded shipping just because? These shoes arrived in one day! I am so impressed and will be a customer for life.

The shoes are extremely comfortable. I was able to attend a wedding, dance and walk all day without discomfort the first time I wore them. This is quite unusual for me. They also are true to size and a very good buy. They come up a bit higher in the back so they are a good fit for those that wear inserts.

My favorite Capezio shoe is the T-Strap. My husband and I dance country western. My first pair was 26 years ago. I had black and beige. I wanted more colors, but they weren't available. When the beige shoes got so scuffed (from husband stepping on me) the shoe man dyed them a light gray for me...to match my husband’s boots!! The black ones are being resoled and heeled for the third time! The first time I wore them, they fit like a glove...and to my delight I didn't get any blisters. I am the proud owner of 5 pair now and I won't wear anything else for dancing or when I get dressed up. There is nothing else that compares...and Zappos was wonderful to deal with. Thank you Zappos. I look forward to many more years of doing business with you.

This is a great shoe!! I have unusual feet - 10 AA and I wasn't sure these shoes would be very comfortable when I received them because they still felt a little wide. My fears were totally unfounded because the first time I wore the shoes I danced for 2 hours and they were extremely comfortable! That was the first time I wore them! I was shocked! I would highly recommend them!

I am in a theatrical production and needed a medium low heel that I can really run across the stage in. I have the 3" Stage Professional T-strap of Capezio's, but I needed to be able to run in these. I usually wear a size 8M, but I got several pairs in different sizes and the size 8.5W fit me just right with room to put in an orthotic. However, this is the first Capezio I ever saw with padding and an arch support already! Even the expensive Professional ones I already have no padding or arch support! I really like these and they don't look wide even in the wide width. Only thing is I wish Capezio would standardize their fit and sizing! I'm sick of trying to guess what size I wear! Thank goodness for Zappos and their great shipping and return policy! Got 'em overnight and have the others already packed to send back. I love Zappos!

Stylish and comfortable -
These are very comfortable for the height of heel and look very nice. I wanted dance shoes, however, which need to have a suede sole instead of the leather or man-made sole that these have. Otherwise, these are great!

Was delighted to find it both a comfortable fit and attractive to wear with both pants & skirts. I have a wide foot and was still comfortable. Wish it came in more colors!

Great pick -
I had bought a different pair of character shoes, but they fit so strangely and were uncomfortable. I bought these instead and they are wonderful! Very comfy, I could stand around all day and my feet didn't hurt. I also like that they come in narrow width, so they fit perfectly. Highly recommended, just order 1/2 size up.

Great dance shoes - I am a belly dancer who needed some dance shoes for dancing in a restaurant. These shoes are very comfortable and make it easy for me to go on the ball of my feet to do some of the movements. I love them. As with all Capezio products, I had to order half a size bigger than my street shoe size.

I read the reviews and took the advice to order a half size bigger than I normally wear. I am glad I did. They would be too tight had I ordered my "regular" size. I have been dancing in them for 8 days straight and they are very comfortable.

I love my Capezio’s<3 -
I have always worn Capezio shoes for dance so when I was looking to purchase a new pair of characters, I naturally chose Capezio. These shoes are very comfortable and easy to dance in, plus they look great while you are doing it. I especially like how the t-strap elongates my lines.

Love it!
I am so happy to have these shoes, very convenient and nice looking. I ordered wrong size the first time, but as soon as I re-ordered a half size bigger, I just love it.
I don't feel them at all, arch support is very good. Just specially for dancing.
Thank you.

Great shoe for tango and salsa, but the size wasn't quite right. I had to get a half size smaller.
