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. See more

User Reviews
Very comfortable. Ordered my regular size. Good fit. Nice tap sounds.
Love them - so comfy and have a great sound. Great price from Amazon too compared with my local dance stores. So I am very happy.I think maybe they run a little small? I measured very carefully according to Capezio's own size guide and they fit exactly right, but I think my street shoe size is either half a size or a full size smaller than this (not sure exactly because I don't really buy a lot of shoes).
I'm a beginner at tap and I initially bought the Bloch Women's Tap-Flex Tap Shoe in my street size (5.5). It was a little tight, so I ordered the Capezio Women's Flex Master Tap shoe in a size 6. Though the shoes fit well, I found that I preferred the construction of the Bloch and returned the Capezio. Both are nice shoes and sound great. Here's a comparison:Capezio Flex master:- Shape is different. It looks and feels somewhat like a ballet shoe mounted on heels- Very soft and flexible right out of the box. In fact, too soft and flexible for me because I could feel the edge of the heel transfer through to the insole. Probably something to get used to with time, but I found the feeling distracting.- The heel is rather long and extends forward almost to the arch. This may not be a problem in larger size shoes. The Bloch heel stayed well back from the arch.- The blue insole is comfortable at the heel but stops just beyond the arch. The ball and toe area appear unfinished inside and I kept feeling the transition through my socks.Bloch Tap-Flex:- Shaped more like an Oxford, wider at the ball and tapering toward the toes- Soft leather upper. The flex sole is stiffer out of the box than the Capezio. A couple of weeks and the flexibility has improved while still providing support.- There is no stitching around the support at the back of the shoe in the Achilles tendon area. The edge of the support caused some friction but nothing a pair of socks will not mask.Hope that helps!
Snug but comfortable fit, as expected. Leather will shape to your foot over time. Taps have great tone.
Wondering what the difference is between these shoes and the $40 Mary Jane style or similar style plastic tap shoes? It is your ability to tap without foot pain! Trust me, there are some things in life that are just worth the money, this is one of them.
The Flex is awesomeYou can point your feet in theseMade wellAll leatherLove themComfortableI did order one 1/2 size up due to feet swell when dancing all of the timeThey are leather and will stretchBut my ankles swell sometimes and they were still ok
These are full priced USED tap shoes! The tops are folded and the bottoms are scratched. This should have been noticed when they were “repackaged” the shoes in a different box.
For those with large feet… I am a woman who wears a size 11 sandal, 11.5 closed toe shoe, and size 12 running shoe; my feet are normal width. Following Capezio’s size guide, I ordered a size 12 and it fit perfectly. There’s room for my toes! I’ve always worn full sole tap shoes, but I didn’t notice a difference in this split sole shoe. Now I can get back to tapping without all of the pain from my old outgrown shoes!I can’t comment on longevity, but my 20 year old Capezio tap shoes have held up. I would still be using them if it wasn’t for my feet growing after having kids.
