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.

Level Up Your Look: The Essential Guide to Lifestyle Shoes
Shoes are more than just footwear; they're an extension of your personal style. The right pair of shoes can elevate your outfit and boost your confidence. But with so many different types of shoes on the market, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Enter lifestyle shoes: the versatile and stylish option that can take you from day to night, errands to adventures.
What Are Lifestyle Shoes?
Lifestyle shoes are a broad category that encompasses shoes designed for everyday wear, comfort, and style. They bridge the gap between athletic shoes and dress shoes, offering a comfortable fit and a more casual aesthetic. Lifestyle shoes come in a wide variety of styles, materials, and colors, making them perfect for expressing your unique personality.
Popular Types of Lifestyle Shoes
The world of lifestyle shoes is vast, but here are a few of the most popular types:
- Sneakers: Sneakers are a classic choice for casual wear. They come in a variety of styles, from low-top canvas sneakers to chunky platform sneakers. Popular lifestyle sneaker brands include Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Converse.
- Loafers: Loafers are a timeless and sophisticated option for men and women. They offer a polished look that can be dressed up or down. Popular loafer styles include penny loafers, driving loafers, and tassel loafers.
- Boots: Boots are a versatile option that can be worn year-round. They come in a variety of heights, materials, and styles, from ankle boots to knee-high boots. Popular lifestyle boot styles include Chelsea boots, chukka boots, and combat boots.
- Boat Shoes: Boat shoes are a classic summer staple. They're typically made of canvas or leather and have a rubber sole for added traction on boats (or, you know, the sidewalk).
Choosing the Right Lifestyle Shoes for You
When selecting lifestyle shoes, consider your personal style, lifestyle, and needs. Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect pair:
- Think about your daily activities. Do you need shoes that are comfortable for walking long distances? Or do you prioritize style over comfort?
- Consider the climate. For warmer weather, you might opt for breathable sandals or canvas shoes. For colder weather, boots or sneakers with good traction might be a better choice.
- Don't forget about comfort! Lifestyle shoes should be comfortable enough to wear all day long.

So ditch the boring shoes and step up your style with a pair of lifestyle shoes that will take you wherever you need to go.
User Reviews
Just a heads up for parents, my daughter uses a 2 youth in regular street shoes, I had to buy a 3.5 youth for my daughter. Her feet are a bit wide, we tried the 3 youth and it was very tight and it could've been due to that. The shoes are a bit narrow compared to other brands, which is good for kids with narrow feet.For these types of shoes (character shoes) the youth sizes don't go beyond size 3 or 3.5, but be aware that going to a 4 in women's size will be different because women's sizes run differently than youth's. If they had a size 4 Youth and size 4 Women's, the size 4 Youth style shoe would be bigger. For this reason, when purchasing for a child in a woman's size, I had to go to a 4.5 women's for my daughter (vs a 3.5 in youth).Another thing to keep in mind is that each brand runs differently, we tried a women's 4 in a different brand and it was big for her. My advise to you is that if you buy one size in a particular brand, and it doesn't fit, order up or down from the same brand to find consistency. Otherwise it will be very hard to find a match for your child.
This is the third pair of these I have bought for my daughter. She is very petite so the shoes are perfect for her. They’re quite durable and the only reason I’ve bought new ones is because she outgrew them. The sizes are way off though. She wears a size 13 (US little kids) and the shoes I bought her were a size 2 (US kids).
My 7 yo wears size 2 shoes, this shoes was at least 2 sizes too small.
These shoes were just what I was looking for. My daughter needed a pair of "pump" shoes for a costume/dance contest. I danced for years and usually bought Leo brand shoes but when the Leo's didn't come in white, I decided to go with Capezio. The shoes are comfortable and the heel is not too high. My daughter, who is 8 and does not take lessons, was easily able to dance in these heels. The extra padding in the shoes was a nice surprise since the shoes I remember from when I danced were never padded.I do agree with what some others said about going a size up. My daughter wears between a 12 1/2 and a 1. I measured her foot (and the company does provide a size chart) and decided to go with the 2. They fit like a dream.Great product!
Capezio makes great dance shoes. All my daughter's tap shoes have been Capezio. However, this one for a dance recital was NOT a hit. First, she wears a 12.5 US - she would have needed a 1 or 1.5. It measured like her old 10s. No kidding. The shoe was very narrow and tight across the vamp as well. However, the reason I returned rather than exchanged was that one of the nails on one of the heels was raised rather than flush with the shoe. It was not what I'm used to from Capezio. Otherwise, beautiful shoe - leather.Edit: I wanted to add 2 things: 1) I bought a full size bigger than she normally wears based on another reviewer - so my review is based on based on buying a full size bigger (still too small), and 2) I was charged for the return despite problems with quality and sizing I noted on the return. Therefore, based on the sizing issue and the cost of returns, I would NOT recommend purchasing this shoe from Amazon.
My daughter measured into a size 2. I ordered a 2.5, and it was too small.
After reading lots of reviews we decided to err on the side of caution and just order a size and a half bigger than her street shoe. This was a Mistake! We should’ve order just a size bigger. She has very narrow feet but, she also knows how to describe what her foot feels like in a shoe that is to tight width or length wise...the husband and myself have worked with her on this because we want her to be able to describe what’s going on...not just with a shoe. I don’t normally write reviews with shoes but, after all those that I read and decided to adhere to, I wish I hadn’t. Although, I do appreciate the reviews. I just had to put mine in for someone else to refer to when considering ordering this shoe.We now have to return and she has to deal with a tight shoe for flamenco tomorrow.
I was so pleased to find an offer for the Capezio shoe at a substantial savings - and it was the "right" size for my granddaughter. The shoe was advertised as slightly used, but when it came, it looked brand new. To my great disappointment, however, it was too small for my granddaughter. I saw some reviews that said the shoe runs small, but some others said that it was comparable to street size - so I took a chance. I have had to return the original shoes and order (at a higher price) the next size up. Other than that, the shoe is just what we were looking for.
