Customer Reviews Capezio Canvas Dansneaker®

Comfortable, fits true to size, not bad looking. Perhaps a great jazz dance shoe, but just not supportive enough on the balls of feet for a Zumba class which is what I'd hoped it would work for. Otherwise a great, flexible, comfortable shoe.

I like how it glides on the wooden floor. I use this shoe for zumba. The impact on the knees is a 5 star rating for me. I gave 4 star, just because, it is little slippery on the wooden floor and you have to get used to the arch in the middle. I got used to it, to dance on the wooden floor now, since it has been 3 years. This is the shoe I like so far for zumba. Tried Nike Musique 1V (too narrow and too stiff in the beginning) and Reebok Zigtech (sticks to the wooden floor).

I bought these Capezio dance sneakers because I was looking for something that allows the twisting motion that we do in Zumba and eases the stress on the knees. These shoes were recommended for Zumba so I thought it would work for me. I have had them a few weeks and am not having the success I expected. The lack of arch support makes it difficult to do any jumping moves wearing these shoes. They do make it easier to do twisting motion like "suzy-Q" but overall they are not working out that well for me in Zumba. Line-dancing was a different story - these shoes worked well for that.

These are my second pair of dance sneakers and they are very comfortable. I'm glad I ordered a whole size bigger, because they run small and are tapered at the toe. Nice support for arches.

This is the 2nd pair of Capezio Dansneakers I've purchased and find them perfect for line dancing.

I wore these to my Zumba class today and love them! They are lightweight and allow me to move more freely than a sneaker. The only thing is the lack of arch support but I think I will put my orthotics in (as suggested by another customer) for the next class and that should solve the problem. Thanks to Zappos for a very speedy delivery....I love this website!

I normally wear a size 8 and the size 8 fit perfectly, if not a little long for a jazz exercise shoe. You usually don't want these to have a much extra length in the toe as you would your running shoes.

There was a flaw in the first pair of these shoes that Zappo sent me, but they promptly and cheerfully replaced them at no cost to me. Great service and products!

I had no problem with the fit of these shoes, but I don't wear socks with them. If I wore socks, I could see where they might be a little snug. I got these to Zumba on carpeting at home and they really do work out much better than regular sneakers as they glide across the carpet. The shoe is very comfortable and flexible. I am pleased with my purchase.

I love these shoes. I do Zumba and I was having knee pain in my athletic shoes. I think it was because they were gripping the floor too much. These shoes are great for Zumba. The only issue is if the studio floor is older, you might experience more slipping. I usually wear a size 8. I got an 8.5 and they fit perfect. Keep in mind, this means my toe almost hits the edge which is proper fit for a dance shoe.

I love this shoe for Zumba. They are super light weight, and oh so comfortable. I actually wear them for Golf and pilates too! This shoe also make one's foot look small, unlike regular workout shoes. Obviously I really think this shoe is fabulous.

I ordered this shoe a half size larger as other reviewers suggested and it fit perfectly. The shoe feels very comfortable on my foot and it works very well in my Zumba class.

Just started using the shoes and it's amazing how easily I can spin and do my zumba steps in these, compared to regular sneakers. So far, very comfy. I followed other reviewers' advice and ordered a full size bigger and they fit perfectly. Highly recommended.

I have used these for several zumba classes and they are perfect. I did buy a size larger than I typically wear.

This is the shoe I use for Zumba and it is great! I was worried about arch support as it appears to have none; but, when you step down in the shoe, the part of the sole that is under the heel presses up into your arch and gives surprising support. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past and these shoes have given me no problems. They are very comfortable and the soles allow me to to twist and pivot easily without putting torque on my knees. I recommend that you don't wear these until you get to your dance site as you will scuff the bottoms and make them less "twisty." I usually wear a 10, but a 10.5 fit perfectly. Happy dancing!

Love at First "Step." My Capezio Canvas Dansneaker is "oh, so comfortable." My Zumba feet actually move faster than my body. Plan to order them in black for winter. Loved expedited shipping at n/c for a larger size.

I'm writing what my husband said. They are for him, for ballroom dancing. They run small; he wears a size 11 and we got him a 13. They are comfortable and he likes them.

Bought these just to do zumba. I am very pleased! They are great. I did read the other advice given about getting a larger size than normal and I did. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 and I ordered a size 9. They fit perfectly! Two thumbs up!

I am so glad I read everyone's reviews and went up 1/2 a size! They are so comfortable and arrived super fast! I can't wait for my next Zumba class now.

Great shoe for dancing. I currently use it for Zumba; however, I found that the mesh is too forgiving while dancing. I would choose the same brand and style but use the one that has leather since it is more sturdy and your foot will be more secure. But all in all great shoe.

I started doing Zumba classes with my girlfriend. I noticed that everyone was wearing black shoes, but didn't know that they were dancing shoes. I was using my regular sneakers and couldn't do the dance moves as effortlessly as they were, so I asked someone in class where did they purchase their shoes, the cost of the dance shoes and if they were true to size. So I ordered them received them within 3-4 days of purchase and have been using my Capezio dance shoes and love them to death. I would recommend them highly. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of purchasing a pair for my sister-in-law because she is now doing Zumba classes too! The thing that I would also recommend to any one that is purchasing them, do go a half size bigger as they recommend! I did and they fit perfect! I hope you enjoy your shoes as much as I am! A happy Zumba member! :-)

I have had my Capezio's for a month. I wear them for Zumba and they couldn't be more perfect! And as a bonus, I got them on sale. Less than my other zumba'ers.

Great shoe for Zumba if you're overweight. You can turn, pivot, and really dance. Love these shoes. Downside is they are fabric and we'll have to see.

These shoes are really comfortable but do run small. Get at least a half if not a full size larger than shoe size for the best fit. Zappos is the only place to buy shoes.
