CapezioWomen's 2028 Canvas Juliet Ballet Shoe

Size doesn’t match the manufacturer inches recommendations. I ordered a 5.5 based on the size chart and they are at least one number size too small.

Very comfortable but true to size

These are by far my favorite ballet shoe! I teach 13 classes a week and go through three or four pairs a year.The Juliet used to come with the elastics unsewn (as shown in the photo Amazon provides), but for the past year or so they come attached. The attached elastic fits my feet well, but I've heard other dancers with high arches have problems with how tight they are. I have regular looking arches but the shape of this shoe makes my feet look much prettier than they are! The drawstring is incredibly long- maybe twice as long as they need to be! Before this shoe I'd never done this before, but now I cut about eight inches off the drawstring before I knot it.I try to be as careful with my shoes as possible; I avoid wearing them on anything other than dance floor and spot clean them if I get the tops dirty. Generally around the time they start looking by grey and dusty I wear a hole in big toe. Once I have a small tear in the toe I can only get about two weeks out of the shoe. Once the hole gets to be the size of a pencil eraser it ends up gaping open pretty quickly.I've never found the perfect tights to match the color of these shoes, even with Capezio brand tights. It's not a huge problem (as evidenced by the fact that I keep being the same thing), but it can be frustrating for recitals and level grading.

I wear 8.5/9. Based on other reviews I sized up to 10W. This is a perfect fit. Straps are already sewn in place. Pleased with purchase.

No where near true to size. Bought because I’m a size 11 which is difficult to find in ballet slippers. Bought an 11.5 and it still didn’t fit. Won’t even try the 12.

Great shoe, good sturdy canvas. I am women's shoe size 8.5US (24.5cm) and the Capezio size 10Wide fit best for me. Recommend sizing up 1.5 from your regular shoe size.

I ordered a 9.5, which is 1 full size above my normal 8.5, and the slipper was so tight it was painful! I reordered a 10, and hopefully it will fit better.

I am normally a US size 6.5 W or 7 M in shoes. I bought these in an 8 W. At first, I thought they were too large because I can insert a finger into the heel. However, after jumping around a bit in class, your feet swell up and it's important that you can fully extend your toes. I'm puzzled at why people would buy these shoes really snug to try to stretch them. Seems like they'll get a hole super fast. As your feet sweat, they sort of conform and stick to your arches. These are a comfortable ballet flat even if they don't have a large forefoot pad like Bloch Performa for balancing. The canvas is soft and does not cause blisters. I find the suede soles are great for gripping the floor when you need it eg. long lunges. I use these for Les Mills Barre class.
