Customer Reviews Capezio Fierce Dansneaker®

Capizio - I love these shoes.... They are comfortable, flexible, durable and look nice. I take martial arts, and my shoes take a beating... This is my second pair, and I'm sure I'll be back for more.

Comfortable shoe - I have been using the shoe for salsa dancing. It works very well.

Much more comfortable than my dance heels... Advise them to anybody who practices more than 1 day per week!!

I ordered a whole size up based on the reviews that I read. They still seemed a bit small to me. They were also too tight around the ball of my foot. I have a small bunion, that might be why, or it might also be because the shoes are tapered in the toe. I tend to like shoes with a round toe, not a pointed toe. I'm returning them.

Shoes are way too small. I'm usually a 7 and even a size larger did not fit. Too narrow.The shoelaces are difficult to use.

Order at least one size larger than your normal street shoe size, these run very short. I've ordered size 10.5 in a Capezio jazz sneaker in the past and none were as short as this model in that same size. Otherwise I preferred this shoe to the Bloch one.

Inadequate cushioning for high impact aerobics - I like the shoe, but I need more cushioning for high impact jazzercise 4 times a week. It would be great shoe for a light workout, very comfortable, but it was not what I need.

Runs way too small! My dress shoes are 8.5, my New Balance sneakers are 9. I read the reviews and ordered a 10. Toes hit the end of the shoe and it squeezes all over. I might try a 10.5. Hard to tell whether it would be a good Zumba shoe or not b/c of the size -- hence the 2 stars.

This shoe just doesn't make sense. It's not comfortable and has no midsole support. I'm a podiatrist and would recommend that sports/dance enthusiasts stay away from this design. Looks interesting, but the foot needs support in the arch! Do not buy any shoe that bends in the middle of the shoe!

Very comfortable for salsa and zumba. Turn well on most floors. A men's 9R street shoe is a 12M here. Shoes wore out in about 5 months. First stitching tore and shoelace loop tore out. Then, upper tore away from sole, showing my socks in the gap. They died to quickly. I wouldn't recommend to others due to their early failures.

I'm a DanceFit instructor. I tried these shoes in two classes and the soles are far too slippery for my taste. I can't hold a wide stance position without my feet losing grip. I do not like these shoes at all. I agree with comments on the fit -- they run small so a size larger than your usual street size. I'm still searching for a comfortable, supportive dance shoe. I currently wear Ryka.

I got these shoes for my hip hop dance. In fact, our whole dance team got the same ones. The problem that we have had with them is not really the comfort, but after just 6 uses, all of us are experiencing alot of wear on the toe area. We tried to bring them back to the store where we purchased them, but because we wore them, we weren't able to return them. I, personally, have been dancing since I was 3 years old, I am now 17 and I have always worn the capezio brand name of shoes and have never experienced this problem with any of their shoes before. I am very disappointed in the quality. I hope that this is not an ongoing issue with this line, because that would be unfortunate to those of us who really like capezio shoes for dance. Thanks for listening and I'm really sorry this isn't a better review.

the shoe size is 1/2 to 1 size larger than my foot size (as measured on the metal scale thingy in shoe stores). my foot is medium to wide, and this shoe is flexible and fits well for wider feet. very comfortable, good shock-absorbance, excellent swivel enablement. It took a month or so of dancing (3-4 times a week of at-home pandemic dancing) for the sole to stop click-tapping on the floor. By the time we returned to in-person dancing I am not raising a hell of a drumming sound while dancing. the type of dancing I do is mostly international folk dancing; and when life gets back to normal I will go back to contradancing, English country dancing, Scottish set-style dancing, Scandinavian - these shoes will be good for all these different styles. I do not grade the style of the shoe high - it looks like a clumsy sneaker, not a nice dance shoe. But comfort and performance come first, looks secondary.

Loved the shoe. They run very small. Had to up size 2 1/2 sizes to get enough room for a little grow space for a young girl.

I have a Narrow (AA) width and I am always worried about ordering a shoe online because of this. However, I read the other Customer reviews and took their advise. Normally, I am a 8N, but I ordered these shoes in a 9M. It was a perfect fit!! I am using the shoes for Zumba and they are very comfortable and snug. Thanks to everyone for writing reviews!!!!

This is a very useful and comfortable shoe for ballroom dance lessons. I will never get over how strange they look but several people were wearing something similar. I could wear these for hours. I ordered others and sent all the others back because all were less comfortable.

Nice shoes. Not wide enough for my feet.

After the third attempt this was the shoe that allowed an orthotic insert. It's comfortable, not the most stylish by any means but helps in Zumba to keep your knees from getting twisted.

I have to insert an orthotic so I need the depth in the heel area. These fit the bill to a T. I need the sole for Zumba classes so I usually order this type of shoe. If you don't have an orthotic issue Bloch provides an equally good shoe for dancing. Not recommended for walking on sidewalk or treadmill.

I wear a 10.5 mens, ordered 11.5 and it was a bit too short. Reordered a 12 and it was just right. The B width is a bit narrow but the shoe still fits well and is comfortable. Bought these because training shoes I was using were too “sticky” for Zumba and Cardio (had to use talc on soles). These shoe have a nice easy grip on wood gym floors but rotate/spin easily. Needed that specifically because of knee replacement. Great value.

I just love these so much. This is perfect for most dance fitness / dance practice / Zumba classes, especially for a lot of fast and full Latin motions and fast turns on the floor that is less slippery surface. On a very slippery studio floor, I need to use my thigh muscles to hold myself from slipping but many studio floors this is perfect. I have narrow feet and highly developed arches so they are just so perfect for my feet. This has a good ankle support and side support, too. For your information, my street shoe size is 7, and athletic shoe size is anything from 8 to 9, depending on the brand. 8.5 fits perfect for this pair. (just like a pair of Bloch dance sneakers) My wish is: can Capezio one day make different colors, too, for this particular style? I love their white so I own two pairs of white but I wish they also make metallic colors, turquoise, red, pink, etc!!

Nicely made dance fitness shoe, but, as a true size 9, I had to return and exchange this shoe twice...based on reviews, I ordered one size up and then had to try the 11 and then the 12 -- 3 sizes up -- before I had a comfortable fit. Truly mis-sized with narrow toe area, so order sizes up, ladies!

I usually buy a 10.5 US size. I ordered a 13 since it said to add '2'. I added a wee bit more to accommodate the narrow width. Not sure why a wider size is not offered. I have had a lot of trouble with traditional dance shoes - they hurt my feet after an hour of dancing. These Capezio shoes were great, i am going to use them for both ballroom and country dance nights.

I have a size 8 AAA which is an extremely narrow foot. These fit perfect in width and I went a full size up which is my perfect fit. It was a nice bonus to remove the insoles to put in my orthotics. Even though I had broke my heel 3 years ago, the support in these shoes for the arch and heels are excellent. I was able to move smoothly and quickly without jerking my ankles and knees in my Zumba class.

These shoes are great. I got a half size bigger than usual, but that was too small so I returned them for a pair one full size larger than street shoes and they are perfect.
