Dance effortlessly in our Canvas 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 bought these sneakers to teach my ballet class. They worked out perfectly and are very comfortable to me standing and moving around for a long time. Very happy with them.
Bottom line: sizing for dance shoes is very subjective & you should be aware of how YOU like your dance shoes to fit before trusting other reviews. I usually wear a 7.5 in street shoes, occasionally a 7 and usually a 7 fits but I like the 7.5 better. Ibought these shoes for irish dance & I ordered an 8 and they fit great. I have wide toe box, and a high arch, and this fits both nicely. I prefer a snug fit for my dance shoes (my irish dance shoes are 3.5 soft/ghillie & 4.5 hard/jig) and I think I could have gotten away with the 7.5 in these as well. If you want these to fit like your street shoes (room/not tight in the toe box)--go at least half size up but no more than a full size. If you like your dance shoes snug, you can order these true to size or at most a half size up. I notice a lot of these reviews seem to be from people with very wide feet/ankles, this is not the case for me. On my first use I find I like the balance of being able to turn & not sliding too much--seems others do not have this experience, I think it depends on what you want them for. If you want super grippy shoes, these are not it. The synthetic sole is somewhat firm & I think they need to be softer for grip. I can move easily without fear of falling. Cannot speak to durability yet.
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!
I line dance and am over 70yrs old. These shoes have a great pivot, are very comfortable, and look great. They also “save” my knees and hips. They kinda bounce back unlike hard soled shoes or big heavy hot cowboy boots.
I usually wear a 9 street shoe, I ordered 9.5 and they fit perfectly and are wonderful for all types of dancing.
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 replaced my Bloch dance shoes when they became too worn out to continue to use. I decided to go with these shoes to try a different brand and color. The previous dance shoes were black. My new dance shoes are white and look more like a Keds tennis shoe. I've had the shoes less than a month and have worn them about four or five times. So far, I am happy with the way they work and feel. I can move well on wood floors, not too slippery with a sole that provides grip. The price was comparable to my previous brand.
Bought these for theatre use, and I ended up buying 3 pairs for the same actor, to get through the entire playing period of 12 weeks.
