Your cart is empty.This mary jane from Capezio is a great beginner's shoe. The adjustable strap design offers a custom fit and has a foam footbed for keeping her light on their feet. A rubber patch on the sole offers a non-slip grip.
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.

These most definitely run small even though we followed the measurements.My toddler daughter's shoe size is 7.5/8. We ordered 8.5 and then 8.5 wide. Both options were a bit tight and most importantly the strap was way to short. We settled for 9.5 with more room to grow into.Once we figured out sizing, we were good to go and are happy with the purchase.

Overall this is a great tap shoe that is comfortable for my daughter. I followed the advice of other reviews and ordered a wide, half-size bigger- they fit perfectly.The only thing I wish was differently designed is the strap- when pulled all the way closed, the stiffness makes it feel tight and adjusting it so it’s looser brings the buckle closer to the center of the shoe which isn’t a huge deal but something to keep in mind.Otherwise, it’s very pretty shoe and worth spending a bit more for the quality.

Bought these for my daughter since they were cheaper than buying them in store. They last her the whole year. It is true to size and exactly as pictured. I would order these again.

The Capezio brand has always spoken for itself and these are no exceptions. The sizing fits exactly as my toddler's every day shoes - no surprises there which I appreciated so much when ordering online. The quality is great and we were just able to pass them down from my oldest to my youngest without compromising on the look - they survived a four year old who likes to perform at the dance studio AND our kitchen, daily. Will continue to splurge on the Capezio brand

per reviews I ordered up 1/2 size. I bought size 2 shoes for this school yr & she has room to grow!! So I ordered a 2 1/2 on here. They match her size 1 1/2 shoes perfectly ( sole to sole) IF these fit her ( i’ll See here soon) they won’t fit for long. They run a full size smaller than street shoesOther than the small size, they are just as pictured & look nice.*** follow up**** they actually fit her GREAT!! I think a full size would have been too big. 1/2 size up was perfect. Size 2 street shoes gives a little room to grow, 2 1/2 tap was perfect!! I changed this from 4 stars to 5.our daughter loves them & has been practicing in them daily at home.

I highly recommend ordering Wide for normal width feet, but the length is normal.My daughter is turning 4 soon, and wears 10.5 regular width runners from Geox (with some room still at the toe). I read the reviews advising to order 1 or 1.5 sizes up, as these Capezio tap shoes seem to run small and narrow. So I ordered 11.5W and thank goodness I ordered wide, as they are the correct width on her feet and will do nicely (with socks) to tap dance class. In hindsight, she would have been fine with 10.5W or 11W instead of 11.5W, but now these shoes will last for 1 more year if she chooses to keep up with tap.Great quality and great price (I got them for $26.99 for 11.5W but for some other sizes, they were as much as $36 or more).They're just like the picture. They also come with detachable clip-on bows. I ordered the black shiny ones, and she LOVED them. Our tap dance studio suggested attire is black tights or black tight fitting shorts, and black leotards (long or short sleeve) for tap class.
