Capezio Women's Junior Footlight Character Shoes

I purchased these because my daughter was auditioning for a musical and had to do a dance number for the audition. Character shoes were suggested rather than flats or ballet shoes, so I ordered these. I ordered two sizes because I read reviews that they ran small and I wasn't sure. I ended up keeping the ones that were two sizes larger than her normal street shoe size. We honestly probably could have gone up another half size, but they were not uncomfortably tight, and we needed them sooner than another pair could be shipped, so we kept them. She loves them. They are so comfortable to wear that she wears them instead of her regular black dress shoes. I rated them a five because the price was good, the quality is great (even with her wearing them on a regular basis, they have held up...and she is tough on her shoes). I would recommend these to anyone...really...even just to wear to work...but primarily they are meant to be used for dancing. The only real drawback is (like all other dance shoes), they do run significantly small. Definitely buy two sizes up. On another note, customer service was awesome about accepting the return of the additional pair of shoes I ordered, and my refund was processed quickly.

My kid wears a 3 in youth I bought a 4 and we probably could have worn a 5.5. Returning since we needed them sooner than I could get a delivery (so I had to go to a dance store and get her some instead). I think they’re pretty narrow and the leather isn’t soft and comfy. Hopefully that helps someone get the right size…

These are my absolute FAVORITE shoes I've ever got on Amazon. I got them for work and they were comfortable to wear all day. I didn't know at first they're dancing shoes. That just makes them even better because I also love to dance.I love most of all that they fit my feet perfectly!My feet a 2 different sizes and very small.I might have to buy another pair since I can't find mine :(

We ordered these twice. My child wears a kid's size 3.5, so initially I ordered these in a size 4. They were WAY too small. I measured the shoe against a foot chart and found they measured as a kid's size 2. I returned them (no hassle, easy return), and reordered in a size 5.5. The 5.5 fits her perfectly. This may have been a bit of an error on my part thinking the kids size would correlate to a women's size, but be aware if your child normally wears a kid's size to check on the correlation to adult sizing. We're happy with the purchase.

Excellent shoe. The fit is comfortable and snug but not too tight and no pain when wearing them, painless, stylish, arrived on time, and these can be worn for dance, casual, or formal, anything really, not too thick and bulky, not to thin and flimsy, perfect fit, they're good shoes, I would recommend.

If only the length were correct, I'd be thrilled with these shoes. I ordered half a size larger than my usual size. I normally wear 9.5 Narrow and ordered 10 Narrow. The width was perfect in front and back, but on both shoes the top of the toe pressed down on my large toe toenail so that even though I was sitting with no pressure on the shoes, they were uncomfortable and gradually started to hurt. I'm calling that too short. Unfortunately, they don't offer a 10.5 Narrow. Even if they did, the width was perfect in the 10 Narrow, and so I'd assume it would be a little wide in the 10.5 Narrow. I'd be willing to risk it and order it if they had it, but they don't. So...I'm searching for a sandal I can use year round, perhaps having to order a shorter shoe to get the narrow width. Also considering a custom made shoe. The other downside to this shoe is that it is faux leather and not leather. Well, it's inexpensive for a shoe that comes in narrow, so I can't make that a complaint, but as an adult and not a child who will grow out of the shoe, I'd much rather have a leather shoe. If I did, I'd explore stretching the toe box to make enough room to keep them. I really love the fit except for at the toes, and I'm thrilled they come in narrows, but not thrilled that while I consistenly wear 9.5 Narrows in other shoes, even the 10 Narrow is too short and there is no 10.5 Narrow. I'd say get the sizing down. I called the company headquarters about the sizing, but the person on duty after hours really had no idea and tried to read me a script without really answering the question. They need a fit expert on duty or at least to call back on the next business day and also the ability to point the customer to stores near them and stores that carry narrows or other specific product features needed. The person on duty claimed she couldn't search except by single zip codes and referred me to San Francisco though I live in Los Angeles. She told me to go to the nearest store to try on shoes for size, but she couldn't tell me which stores carried narrows. Really, I think the shoes are probably very good dance shoes, but they are inaccessible to me due to sizing issues.

Buy one to two sizes up from street shoe size. We had to return a pair that was a size up from street shoes sizes because they were two small. Good quality.

I bought these shoes for my daughter who is a size 4 in her tennis shoes and these shoes were much too small. Had to buy a size up. Here's to hoping they fit.
