CapezioWomen's Jr. Footlight T-Strap Dance Shoe

I am a true 7.5, always have been. All the reviews said to size up. I was skeptical as these are character/dance shoes which 1) should fit snug 2) are made of soft leather that stretches. Glad I bought 1 of each before my event as the size up was way too big. I only half sized up to an 8. Attached photo is the 8.7.5 fit perfect, they’re incredibly comfortable, no need to break in and very flattering.

There is a reason this brand is so popular! The shoe was very comfortable and true to size. It's ability to slide when you ask it to and grip when you need it to has been exceptional. It did scuff rather easily, but it should be easy to fix with a bit of polish. Definitely a steal for the price point.

I have very narrow, high arch feet. As in, I never size up when online reviews tell you to do that for a shoe and never have a problem. In fact, I'm a size 8 that fits in 7.5 sneakers easily. Well, for the first time, this size 8 was just too tight for comfort. I ordered a Capezio size 8 footlight character shoe at the same time and it fits fine with even a little room to spare (but not so much that I'd say return it). But I have to say that this shoe is one time where I'd say, size up... Nice looking shoe. But it really was small for size. And definitely not the comfort level I was expecting from a Capezio dance shoe.

Was told to get character shoes for a theater thing I'm doing. Got these suggested to me by a friend in the cast. Works perfect for what I needed. My arches are high so I was hesitant about the t-strap but they ended up fitting perfect. Well made, not falling apart, even after several months of constant harsh use. Be sure you break them in! Coming back for these again if the ones I have now ever get lost or broken.

I'm a big girl. I'm also pushing 60. So I have noooo use for uncomfortable shoes in my life. But I don't ever want to look matronly. I'm 5'3", 210lbs. I just cannot wear heels anymore. But I have a formal event coming up and my Fitflops sandals just aren't going to cut it. I remembered back from my childhood days hearing my dance instructor saying she wore Cappezio shoes. Let me tell you, these shoes are comfortable right out of the box! No need to add a cushion insole. I'm just sorry I've waited 50 years to finally own a pair! I wear longer dresses so this style of may jane with a low steady heel (but a heel nonetheless) ... looks romantic. These shoes are absolute quality in every way! And if ya want ... have some taps put on the bottoms ... and dance! Ok, yeah ... that was cringe worthy. Bottom line is I am beyond thrilled with my shoes!

Terrible quality. Attempting to return. Purchased these shoes in December and rehearsals behaving in January. Last night, mid performance, the entire heel snapped off. Absolutely disgraceful. My daughter had to try and glue her shoe back together to finish the show. So disappointed

The shoes are overall good in terms of comfort and fit, but the buckles are too small for the straps, making it almost impossible to buckle them while they are on your feet. Your only hope is to force the buckles through the straps while they are off of your feet and stretch them to put them on while bucked.

I was in a recent production of “Company” and these were durable! Didn’t “alligator” on me after a weekend!
