Salvatore Capezio was born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy. Uninterested in following in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer, he became an artist of his own right, a cobbler. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Soon, the shop became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to discuss their needs and to get a pair of his shoes. As Capezio's popularity grew, dancers from around the world made it a point to visit him and purchase his shoes. The innovation of the products that Salvatore Capezio created and the camaraderie he shared with the dancers molded the direction that his company would follow. In this image, the Capezio brand was established to promote and recognize ongoing achievements and participation in dance. Capezio products remain in the forefront in quality and in technological advances with innovations like the split-sole, the stretch-insert, the Dansneaker and the Tapsneaker. Capezio believes that their success is dependent upon the individual commitment of each customer to continually set new standards of creativity and performance, while preserving a reputation for dependability and distinction. Capezio pledges their support and dedication to the advancement of dance, theater and recreation in communities worldwide.

My daughter wears a street shoe 9 and bought these shoes in a size 8.5. They fit perfectly. My daughter paid full price for a new pair of shoes and got a pair of used shoes, so be aware of that. If they had been new, they would have been beautiful, supportive, good quality, lightweight and perfect for a ballet teacher.

Love these shoes! I use for Urban/Soul Line dancing. I wear a 10 ordered 1/2 size up and returned, not enough toe room. I expected 1/2 size larger to work, felt like a 10. I think they run true to size.I ordered Size 11 which felt like a 1/2 size larger….No break end, felt good!ðŸ˜

I am a dance instructor and needed a pair of dance sneakers for teaching so my feet don’t get sore from hours of teaching in jazz or ballet shoes. It recommended to go up a half size but I did not feel this was needed. I wear a size 9 in sneakers and bought a 9.5. I could have easily bought a 9 and they would have fit perfectly. I have wide feet and the width fit nicely. Arch support is great. They allow for pointing the foot nicely. These are perfect for pirouettes and turns as they allow for less grip than regular tennis shoes. I wore these to perform a finale in our recital and they were so comfortable and function great on a stage. They are canvas so they do get hot if worn for long periods of time. Most dance sneakers are hideous but I chose these as they were not too bulky or flashy, and they look great on! All in all a great dance shoe! My coworker ended up ordering the same pair after trying mine out!

Contra dancer here!! First, DO SIZE UP 1/2 size. Capezio has been known forever as undersizing their shoes. They have gotten much better in recent years, but still, most of us wear actual socks in our dance sneaks. Plus, after dancing an hour or so, your feet WILL expand and spread a bit. That said, these sneaks are really the best I've ever had, and I've tried ALL the other brands. Not only do they look slimmer on your feet (the others tend to make your feet and ankles look larger than that are, due to all their padding), but the lacing system really pulls the whole shoe firmly around your foot no matter your foot shape, while still being soft enough material to let your foot move and spread naturally. They are well-padded and surprisingly comfy! I always have to install extra padded insoles because my feet always hurt (high arches+dancing = major ball of foot pain). With these, I did not have to. The soles are a perfect mix of slippy for spins and grippy for everything else. Best part: no rubber toe-cap around the top/front of the toe box, so your toes will not be jamming into that hard thing every time you move forward. How many toenails have you bruised, damaged or lost? Hard-plastic-toe-caps be gone!! Ok, I've just convinced myself to go buy a 2nd pair... go get yours!

I wear a street 11 Men's US. My feet are a little wider than medium but otherwise pretty normal. I'm one of those lucky people that usually has no trouble fitting shoes. I can get by fine with a little large, a little small, a little tight across the instep. Doesn't bother me. I got these in a 13 and the fit seemed snugger than I would prefer in a street shoe but right for dancing. They were a bit tight around the instep but I figured that would stretch soon enough. I took them dancing and for the first time in my life I experienced the agony of ill fitting shoes. The ball of my foot seemed to be behind the front sole (the soles are two separate pieces). After just a few minutes, my feet hurt, my hips were aching and I had back pain. I've never had this kind of experience before. I am fit and athletic without any kind of joint problems and I can't ever remember a pair of shoes causing this much pain.Most other people love these shoes so I dunno what happened here. As I said, my feet are not abnormal. Perhaps this was a defective pair, though I don't see how the problem could be remedied without a design change. Perhaps just the size 13 is not well thought out, possibly using the same sole as a size 12? I don't know. This was my experience and it sucked.

I have narrow feet and sized up a half size based on reviews. It seems they run true to size length wise and are very narrow. They are too long for me and snug around the foot. I’m sure if I had bought my actual size they would have worked, but I can’t imagine them fitting someone with wide feet no matter how much you size up. Them being too long prevents them from bending with my foot when I point, it’s just my foot pointing in and empty box and the shoe remains normal on the outside. I’d only recommend this for people with the narrow feet and just order your normal size unless you’re between sizes.

These shoes are comfortable, sturdy and flexible. They suit my needs beautifully. I love that they have laces so that I can adjust them to my feet. The soles feel secure and yet allow for effortless turning. Usually my feet become uncomfortable while dancing, but not with these shoes!*Buy a half size up from your street shoe for the best fit.

Bailo salsa y bachata y estos zapatos son excelentes para mis prácticas. Me encanta bailar con ellos, son muy cómodos y puedes girar muy bien. Estoy sumamente satisfecho con mi compra y los recomiendo ampliamente. Yo pedà un cm más y me quedaron perfecto.

I ordered a pair of Capezio Canvas Dance Sneaker,Black,14 M US. I’ve been on tour and when I finally arrived home I was surprised to find that they size their shoes differently. Now to be fair, if you look under their various shoe sizing you will see their actual size cart differs from all other known international sizing charts. I am a UK 13 in shoes and because the sizing is in American sizing, I got a size 14 US shoe. But when I received the dance shoe the inside label said US 14 but UK 12! I was surprised because in the real world if I got a Nike shoe, they are normally on size larger than UK sizes but to have two sizes larger is strange. To make matters worse, I’ve arrived back on the day that my return window closes, otherwise I would have sent it back and got a size bigger. So heads up of you’re getting a shoe and from another country add 1.5 sizes bigger.
