Flexible foam padded footbed with non-slip socklining. Brushed microfiber lining for comfort. 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.

User Reviews
They fit really well. The sound is clear. Easy to put on and take off with great comfort. My daughter loves them!
These are great shoes. They are narrow so not good if you have wide feet but worked good for my daughter. Since they were narrow we could get away with getting them a little big to fit her longer without them being sloppy. Unlike other dance shoes the length of these run the same as street shoes so do not order up unless you are buying for a kid that will grow into them. They have good sound. I would like them better if they were a little more flexible but they might become more flexible with wear.
This was not my first choice of style but this was the third pair I purchased. The fit was just right. These are the comfortable tap shoes of the three and stay on without slipping or being tightly laced.
Fits quite well, true to size, without socks. I normally don't wear socks with my dance shoes so this shoe fit quite well. I don't like any kind of slack in my shoe or a sloppy fit and this shoe met my expectations. I ordered my street shoe size (6). I could wear a very thin sock underneath. Good flexibility in the shoe and I'm very happy with it. Good price too.
I am a beginning tap student and I wanted something that sounded good and was easy to get on and off. These are wonderful. I bought up a half size and they fit in length but are a little snug in width. They will probably stretch with wear so I'm not concerned as they are still comfortable for all the basics that I can do.
I am very pleased with my purchase. I was nervous because a lot of reviews that I read after I ordered them said they ordered a half size up. I ordered how the product suggested true to my street shoe size and they fit perfectly. They have great sounds and they are easy to point your feet in!
Since these shoes are for active wear, I would have expected a little more width than normal. I ordered 1-1/2 sizes above my street shoe size to accommodate my extra width, but it is a struggle to get them on. I am hoping the leather will stretch a bit with wear.That said, the taps are excellent and I love the split sole. I get much better movement in my steps.
I was so disappointed when I tried these tap shoes on. The listing said "true to size," so I ordered my street shoe size. The box toes are very stiff and hurt my big toes a lot. There were not very flexible, although the taps sounded nice. I wore them for a few days around on my carpet, but they hurt so much that I had to return them. I switched to the Bloch brand and ordered a half size larger which they suggest, and I am thrilled! Sorry, Capezio! I have worn your character and jazz shoes over the years, but now in my 60s I need a super flexible high quality leather shoe with great support and no toe pinching.
