Customer Reviews Capezio Fierce Dansneaker®

Capezios needs to make a wide version. There are big footed dancers. I wear 9½EEE in street tennis shoes. I had to go to a 12½ just to equal my standard size. This is not uncommon for dance shoes by design since I have been dancing they run narrow and close to the feet.

Shoe is well made, but sizing is way off. I ordered 1/2 size larger than my normal size and it was still too short.

I ordered a full size larger than my usual shoe size, and I am glad that I did. I could have even gone with a size and a half bigger. They are not made for wider feet, pretty narrow, but I like the support around the opening of the shoe. They are flexible, and not very cute for a shoe, but as long as I can dance in them, they serves their purpose.

This is a good shoe for zumba classes. The bottom is a little slick, but stil works. The shoe runs small. I always wear a 7 and I ordered an 8.

I love the Capezios but will warn you that sizing is tough - I had to return twice for a larger size. But Zappo makes exchanges so easier, I almost didn't mind!

Because it is a unisex shoe, I had no problem with it being wide enough. My foot is very wide across the toe area and I was worried. I wear a 10 in my workout shoe and ordered an 11. I probably could have done 1/2 size smaller. (I wear my workout shoes 1/2 size bigger for swelling, since I teach 2-3 fitness classes a day) I bought these for teaching Zumba and they seemed perfect, until I wore them on the stage in our studio, which is carpeted. I found the shoes to be a bit to slippery for carpet and I had to hold back my range of motion a bit for fear of loosing my footing. I have several class members who swear the dance sneakers are perfect for Zumba on our wooden studio floor but I would think twice if you work on carpet. Overall, the shoes were very nice and fit perfectly. I will be back for another try.

I really like these shoes. They are a true dance shoe -- lightweight and flexible, they make the turns in Zumba so much easier. I wish they came in a wide width but buying a half size larger as was recommended worked okay for me.

I wear a size 6 1/2 normally, and bought these in 7 1/2. These shoes make dancing zumba much easier. Turning, sliding, and pivoting is much easier with these shoes than with regular gym shoes. They still don't slip and slide as easily as I'd like, but I think it's due more to the studio floor than the shoes. I used them for Zumba at home, and they work great on carpet. My only complaint is that they sometimes make the arch of my right foot hurt, but after yesterday's workout, they were fine. Other shoes like Bloch Boost DRT are more expensive - these are great value for the money.

I followed other reviewers' recommendations to purchase one size larger, so I have the perfect fit. The shoes are so comfortable and exactly what I need for Zumba and Cardio Latin Dance classes. No more pressure on the knees for turns. The shoes are ugly, so be prepared for that. I don't care since I am going for comfort and these are it! I tried a better looking pair, but those did not have the comfort and cushioning that these do.

This is a good dance shoe, lightweight, good foot and arch support. I usually wear a 7 in athletic shoe, but the 8 in dance sneaker felt tight--however, you want them to be very fitted. The tighter fit took a little getting used to, but you really don't want much "play" in a dance shoe. Nevertheless, I ended up wearing a full size larger than my running shoe (and size and a half bigger than my dress shoe size). I''d buy this shoe again. I've been happy with the performance. (it's not a beautiful shoe, but the last pair of cute dance shoes I had gave me a bad case of tendonitis in my foot--so I'm going for support this time.)

Great for Zumba. Makes it easier to pivot and turn. Order a full size up if you wear heavy socks.

These shoes are lightweight, but provide good support. The shape is nice, not too wide or bulky looking. Good flexibility in the arch. Comfortable and great for Zumba!

Great shoe overall, but could use a little more cushion in the ball.

Purchased for Zumba class - These shoes are not as cute as I thought they would be. They are bit clunky, but better than the running shoes I was using in my Zumba class. They definitely have a slicker sole so you can move across the floor. These are dance shoes so they don't have great arch support (I have orthodics so it doesn't really matter). In hindsight, though, I wish I had bought a cuter pair. These are just so ugly.

Short, short, short! There were a lot of features I liked about this shoe. It was one of the few I've tried that had enough room in the toe box, where many dance sneakers are cut too narrow, even for my medium to narrow foot. I also really liked the lacing system on this shoe, which is designed both to prevent tongue slippage as well as to provide lateral support. However, this shoe runs ridiculously short. After reading the reviews here on Zappos I ordered a full size larger than my usual 7 and my toe hit the end. So I returned them and ordered an 8 1/2, and they were STILL too short with my toe hitting the end! There was also a lot of squishiness in the upper part of the shoe (the tongue and upper seem quite padded), which gave this shoe a sloppy and un-sleek feel on my feet. Adding to the sloppy feel was the loose insert that comes with the shoe. It crumpled under my arch when I moved my feet in certain ways and was really distracting. It's a good-looking shoe, but with drawbacks I found insurmountable.

Order UP! I ended up with 2 sizes larger than my street shoe. Luckily with Zappos FABULOUS return policy and methods, I was able to get the shoe I needed to continue teaching 6 classes per week!

Good but the fit - Initially ordered 1/2 size larger than I typically wear due to other reviewer’s comments. I usually wear an 8 M or in some cases, particularly open toed shoes, 7 1/2 M. The 8 1/2 in this shoe was too short so returned them for 9 and now too big in the toe area but only a hair bit longer. I then put full insoles in and that has helped a great deal. Not perfect but works. The service experience with Zappos, however, seems to be the gold standard that all businesses should strive for!

Runs small - I noticed significant improvement with my performance in my Zumba class. This shoe also eliminated pain associated with sharp, quick turns.

Dance Sneaker - Zappos is extremely efficient! This was my first purchase and I had to exchange the shoe due to a sizing issue. They made the exchange stressless. I needed to buy this shoe a full size and a half larger.

Shoes made for dancing!! I take hip hop classes and never realized that the shoe makes the girl :) Now I can spin like a champ and I move more like a dancer. The support is GREAT. I purchased one size larger than my normal street size, thanks to other reviews, and they fit perfectly.

Interesting dance shoe - I use this shoe for Jazzercise and I found I sometimes slide. The sole needs to have more gripping power. I do, however, find it an interesting shoe for dance.

Feel a little small, but good for dancing - These are really nice shoes, but they feel a little small. I wear a 71/2 no matter what and I think I could have done an 8 and been more comfortable.

Looking for an alternative for regular aerobic shoes - I found this shoe very comfortable. The flexibility was certainly much better than a regular aerobic shoe, but the sole had a tendency to pick up dust and hold on to it, making it very slippery at times. As to the fit…well, I did ballet for twenty years and am used to shoes that feel as if they have been painted on my feet. In fact, I feel uneasy if they are in the least bit loose, so the fit for me was true to size. If you are used to a regular fitting shoe, then I would order at least a half size larger.
