Leave it all on the Zumba floor with this Dansneaker®. 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
I've tried several different athletic shoes for Zumba, even ones stated they are for dance style aerobics, but the only shoes that don't leave my knees feeling twisted are these type of shoes. They're not the most attractive, but the turns and twists are much gentler on my knees with these. Depending on the floor type you take classes on, they may be a bit too slippery for lunges and side to side movements. I find after a few songs, I learn to adjust my steps and weight accordingly, though, and I don't have issues with it. These have held up well, and I've used them on a sprung rubbery type surfaced floor (slightly sticker than a typical waxed wooden floor), on a concrete/tiled floor, and on carpet, and they've worked great for all three types, though a bit slippery on concrete/tiled floors. One could try cutting one of those anti slip grippy pads for shoes and putting a bit on the sides to help with side to side grip, or to the heel, to help with side to side movements and lunge since the place it needs to be slippery is really at the toe area for spins and twist.PROS :Great for Zumba turns and twistssturdyWorks on wood, tile/concrete, and carpet floors wellCONS:A little slippery for lunges, side to side movementsloooong lacesNot the most attractive/fun looking shoe
Zumba Instructor had a pair. Suggested it is good for zumba/dancing. They have Not disappointed me. Use for all my zumba classes..
I needed a dance sneaker that would allow me to move correctly on a wooden floor during my Zumba class. My Nike Musique IV shoes were just a bit too "grippy", and I noticed many of my classmates had the Capezio Rockits. After reading all the Rockit reviews, as well as the reviews for several other styles and brands of dance sneakers, I decided to go ahead and order the Rockits. I'm glad I did, because this style works much better for me. The soles are more slippery, which is what I need to do the moves and steps right; but not so slippery that I am afraid I'll fall, and the split sole is much better for moves that require you to be on your toes or heels.There are two reasons I didn't give this style five stars: 1) I was warned by some of my classmates that they tend to run narrow, and I would have to agree. I have an average width foot, wear size 8 normally, and I did order up a half size as advised in many of the reviews. The length is fine, but by the end of my hour long class my little toes feel cramped; it might be because they hit right where there is a seam. (One of my classmates Rockits are actually coming apart in the exact same place, and she says she knows several other of our classmates have had the same issue). I don't wear socks with them either. 2) Why does it have to have so much padding on the tongue and upper portion? It is nice & comfy, but I just don't see the reason for it...it makes the shoe bulky, and I don't think its necessary.Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe. The price was reasonable, and I feel like I can move better and get the benefit of the exercise, and I do like the way they look except for that thick tongue!
We got both Capezio and Bloch dance shoes.Capezio shape is more refined and less bulky than Bloch,Capezio arch is more curved and body-hugging than Bloch.Capezio ball is almost as smooth as Bloch for effortless turnsCapezio Sizing length is same as street shoe but the WIDTH across ball of foot was too narrow!Conclusion: We are keeping the more comfortable Bloch with wider foot bed, even though the Capezio overall shape was more elegant.
I developed knee and hip issues wearing regular athletic shoes for my dance fitness classes. These shoes provide enough support for my feet and they do not stick to the floor like regular athletic shoes. I wear a 71/2 in regular shoes and an 8 in athletic shoes because I don't want my toes to hit the end of the shoe. Size 8 1/2 fits perfectly in this shoe. My feet are slightly wide and the width of this shoe is just right.
I purchased these shoes for my Zumba class. I have a pair of Raka studio D that I have been used for 2 years. Compare with the studio D, I was very impressed the first day I worn it to the class. Very light, the bottom was so smooth, you can make those turns so easy. However, I am not sure why, after worn it for a week or so, the shoe 's bottom did not seem to be so smooth any more.sometimes the first 20 minutes of class I just felt it stick to the floor.The shoe is very soft has a lot of cusion, but very hot when you sweat. I usually wear size 7-71/2 for gym shoes. So I got a size 8 on the rockit. Well, it's a little too big for me.
I use them to teach and they are perfect!
I bought these shoes and have been wearing them 3 times a week for one hour in zumba. Today I looked down and the sole over the toe box is falling off. Really disappointed
