Your cart is empty.Pirouette like the pros in our Leather Pirouette II. The half sole design offers the best of both worlds. Sturdy leather hugs the forefoot while the open heel provides much needed breathability. Elastics around the sides and under the arch of the foot keep you stable while turning non-stop. Capezio logo on ballet-style sole patch adds an exclusive touch.
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.

These are great shoes, very very comfy for my girls. In case anyone is wondering, as I did, the size X-small fits my young girls perfectly. One wears 13/1 & the other wears 1-2 in regular shoes. These foot like second skin, no shifting & nothing poking their feet. We tried another brand here on Amazon first, just a bit darker in color, I think they were about $17. (If you've searched for pirrouette shoes here then you know what I'm talking about) It wasn't worth it to get those cheaper shoes... the part to adjust the size goes right into the size/bottom of the foot and drove my girls crazy. The leather was a bit thicker, probably better for longevity than these, but harder to "break in". These had zero break-in/adjustment time; no sores or places rubbed 'raw. Comfy on day 1, and used for both practice and performances on many different surfaces. I bought these last on Nov 8, back for re-order today (Feb 27) due to toe holes. That may seem soon, but these girls dance approx 3 days a week for sometimes 4 hour stretches of time. Worth every penny for happy, healthy feet. ;)

These shoes are a staple for my dancer daughter for pom. This is the shoe her coach recommended and the one we continue to purchase. Half sole shoes, in general, don't last a long time, especially for girls spending many hours a week dancing in them. These seems to hold up better than the canvas ones.

May 7-year-old wears a big kid size 2.5 shoe; these are too small (women's 4/5). Medium fit better. Great quality.

My daughter wears this brand of pirouette shoe. I have purchased them several times over the years with no problems. However, this time the material came loose from the bottom of the toe within a few days. Maybe just stitched wrong, but it will not keep me from ordering again. Product does the job, and they are comfortable.

I needed a quick order for a recital, and these came the day after I ordered! Very quick arrival, good quality shoe, and lasted all 4 days perfectly (which is impressive for me lol) would buy again, except they're still in perfect condition so I don't need to! They're a little tight before you work them out, but that's normal so don't be worried unless they're choking your foot!

After only two winterguard rehearsals, the leather began to peel off in multiple spots, and the sole detached from the leather in the front of one of the shoes, creating a hole where my big toe was. When they were intact, they were great, but for the price I would have expected at least a couple weeks without major damage. They’re decently comfortably, but not too stretchy. I just wish they had stayed intact for more than 8 hours of moderate usage.

I gave these a 5 star rating due to the quality of the shoe... but unfortunately even the largest size they come in did not fit my grand daughter who is normally a size AU/US 10. The largest size these came in was 10 - 11.5 but nowhere near long enough.At the time of purchase these were on a special deal of $24 so that was too hard to pass up on.
