Customer Reviews Capezio Fierce Dansneaker®

I'm a Zumba instructor and this is my third pair of Capezio dance shoes, but my first pair of Fierce. They're excellent! Comfort, padding and just enough slide on the floor. Order 1/2 size up! They're easy to lace, they don't come loose, and feet never hurt.

I absolutely always wear size 6½. I did not believe the other reviews so I ordered both size 6½ and 7½. I kept the 7½, and returned the 6½. You can trust the reviews, you will need a larger size than you normally wear. So far, I like the shoes for Zumba.

These are great shoes. They are perfect for Zumba. Unlike the recommendations and other reviews, I suggest ordering your street size. I ordered a size up to begin with but it was way too large. These shoes provide great arch support and comfort while dancing.

This is THE perfect shoe to wear for cardio dance and aerobics classes! But the size of this shoe is deceptive, so buyer beware when selecting the size to buy. I suggest you buy a full size larger than you normally wear. I wear size 7 1/2 narrow. I bought a size 9 and it fits well because I wear socks with this shoe. I probably could also wear a size 8 1/2. Although this shoe is a medium width, it is narrow, so it fits my narrow foot. I did not find any narrow Dansneakers on zappos.com, so I was happy that this one runs narrow. The arch support is great. The flexibility of the sole and the lightness of the shoe make it ideal to wear to my cardio dance class. I am so happy with this shoe that I recommended it to my friends at cardio dance class. At my first cardio dance class, I discovered that you can't wear running shoes to cardio dance class because they lack flexibility, they are heavy, and more importantly, the tread is so deep that it makes dance moves hazardous. So I hopped onto zappos and found this Dansneaker. Given my size (7 1/2 narrow), I was surprised to find a shoe that works for me. Yeah!

Love! My street shoes are a man's 9 (11 women's) with a little wiggly room extra for comfort, but for these a 10 and 1/2 are perfect. Proper length is important to hold feet snug and in position for dancing. These glide nicely and are saving my knees in dance class.

After three tries I finally got the right fit (thanks to Zappos free shipping both ways). This shoe runs one whole shoe size too small so I had to order a 6 1/2 when I wear a 5 1/2. I love the great padding around the ankle. This offers good support for Zumba Fitness and other dance forms.

These shoes are very supportive for your arches and are very flexible and light for dancing. I normally order a 6 and 1/2 size shoe and ordered a 7 following the manufacturers recommendation of a half size bigger. They fit perfect! I have plenty of toe room for a sport type polyester sock. They slide on the dance floor just fine but are not overly slippery. I love them, very well made and form fitting. My heels do not hurt in these.

These shoe definitely make doing Zumba easier! I was wearing regular tennis shoes for awhile, and then after seeing so many people buying these, I decided to give them a try. I was amazed at how much easier it was to do all the Zumba moves. The shoes fit comfortably, except that after a little while, the side of my foot starts to hurt a little bit - maybe I need to break them in more. I listened to other reviews and ordered a half size up from my regular shoe size, and turned out to be the right size.

I use this shoe exclusively for Zumba and the fierce Dansneaker has more support than my previous Capezio dance shoe. No breaking in period at all, comfortable from the start. I did have to order up a full size.

Be advised that while these shoes are awesome for my Zumba class, they do run very small. I normally wear a size 5 1/2 - 6, but a size 7 in this shoe is what finally fit properly. Very comfortable and easy to move about in. And Zappos has the absolute BEST customer service ever!

Because of the previous reviews, I chose the right size. I usually wear an 8 medium and ordered a size 9, instead, which fit a little snug at first. Once I broke them in, they fit great. It has just enough grip when executing a dance. Will get another pair for backup!

Knew this ran small especially for a man and usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 had to get a 12 that fit right but it is comfortable and makes the Zumba moves easier. Even wore them to a ball room dance, not bad looking shoes.

I ordered Dansneakers to replace my worn to the bone 7 year olds. They arrived in 2 days. A little too small. Called support and they said send them back. I sent them back the same day and my 1/2 size bigger shoes arrived the next day. Charge to me, zero dollars. Couldn't be happier. I just had knee replacement and the extra cushioning is a godsend to me.

Very comfortable, excellent heel support and ball of my foot support.

Runs about 1 and one half size smaller, so I ordered a 10 2/2. I do wear socks with these. The shoes fit great. I usually take an 8 shoe, 9 outside boot or New Balance sneaker. The Fierce Dansneaker is wonderful for dancing. I can pivot with no stress on my knees, like I was experiencing before. The customer service at Zappos is excellent. My shoes were dropped off at some one else's house by UPS and when I called Zappos looking for my lost order, they credited me and sent a second pair, right away, then found the other shoes and had UPS return them. I would recommend having a signature upon delivery, to avoid this problem.

Wife bought this after deliberating quite a bit...she likes it for her 'zumba' classes. Says it is very comfortable for this purpose.

These shoes do look chunky and ugly when I put them on. I was about to return them for "prettier" skinner looking shoes until I saw that are the only Capezio ones labeled as having "superior" arch support -- which I need for Zumba class. Plus I like that these have the support on the back of the foot -- unlike the canvas dance sneaker. So I guess I will keep them and suffer from looking fashionable but hopefully save my arches from aching. I did order once size up and they fit great considering I have wide feet.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is a ballroom dance instructor. She loves them and keeps thanking me for them, so I guess that qualifies as a highly recommend! Her ballroom shoes are a 6.5, I bought her a 7 in these because of the warnings that they ran small, and the 7 fits her perfectly.

I bought these for my ZUMBA class, and they really help keep me from sliding and allow my foot to point when needed. Much better than sneakers in a dance situation!

Super comfortable! I do Zumba at home, and my cross-trainers snagged the carpet and their traction made it hard to move. The Capezios are so easy to move in, and they slide across the carpet. The reviews I read said they run small, so I ordered a size larger as I do for my running shoes. However, that was too small, so I ended up ordering a full size more.

I have owned these shoes for 2 years now and wear them 2 or 3 times a week for Zumba. They have held up well and still look great. They are perfect for Zumba and great for moves involving being up on your toes! The sizing is really different though. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 and had to get a 10 in these. They aren't the cutest shoe but I love them!

These have been great for several types of dancing. Good support, good flexibility. I usually wear a 9, perfect fit with size 10.

Great shoe! I watched about the sizing and ordered a size larger as recommended. Had to reorder. I have a narrower foot and would suggest 1/2 size larger than usual size for narrower feet.

Great for dancing! I went up one size and they were still too small. I had to size up another full size (I regularly wear a 7.5 shoe. Ended up with a 9.5 shoe).

Good shoes required by dance instructor. The sizing is strange. Had to buy a size 4 when street shoe is only 1.5.
