Capezio Canvas Dance Sneaker

Takes a little bit to get used to them, but once you get the hang of wearing them, they can be helpful in classes like Body Jam which has spinning moves. Just be sure when to ease up on some moves because these shoes don't have much traction like a running or walking shoe. But the spinning moves you can do way easier in these shoes and takes pressure off your calves just enough for you to get through your work out. I'm 5'4'' and about 280 lbs....and these worked for me. It's not just for skinny girls in case you heavier ladies are wondering if it's just for those cookie cutter athletes you see working out in a gym with nothing but short shorts and a sports bra that never sweat. I did follow another person's review about going up half a size because the shoes don't run wide, they run a bit narrow. I went up a whole size because my feet are large. They look narrow until I stand up on them and they get wide. Plus, I'm flat footed. Matter of fact, I wore them to my first day of work today in an office, full time shift. They felt fine to me.

I have not danced in these yet but I can tell they will be great. A nice balance of support but really flexible split shoe style. True to street size shoe. Not slippery on any floors I tried. Great for classes as well as every day- like running through airports! Compared to many other split shoe brands I trust Capezio & they’re not as pricey as others.

Excellent fit! Former professional dancer here. I’ve always trusted Capezio dance shoes for all my dance classes, rehearsals and gym workouts. Even though I’m a normal size 7.5 N, I always go down a size. I prefer snug fit. Because after wearing for awhile they expand. I ordered the size 7 N. Perfect snug fit for me. Always a trusted brand

I wish the heel was more snug, as it is a dance sneaker! I expected more from a Capezio product. A bit long, a little narrow, and not the stability I expected. The style is suitable for wearing with dress pants when traveling, when a regular sneaker won't do. I would recommend a different shoe for actual dance practice.

SO THANKFUL to have found this shoe! With the laces, you can choose how tight you'd like the fit. I teach 20+ dance classes per week and these have saved my feet! I am normally a very consistent "9", but the 9.5 fit me perfect. The sizing reviews were all over the place so I order three different sizes and ending up keeping the 9.5. I can still perform chainés and pirouettes safely without twerking my knees. I can also still "pointe my toes" while teaching/demonstrating. The tip of the shoe is squared off which is also very cute and helping for teaching pointe (although I do not go up on pointe in theses shoes). They are very lightweight and breathable too. I usually wear them with a pair of thin socks. I have been teaching with them for about a month and I think they are a great shoe! Highly recommend.

Wanted to like this shoe. Bought them to replace a pair of Capezios I purchased (and loved) a dozen yrs ago. I just thought it was time to replace, simply due to the age of the shoe. (I only use for zumba - they have never touched asphalt.) The new shoes, however, seem to have a hard edge running along the outter run of my foot - from the pinky-toe to my heel. Tried zumba in them twice. Tightened the laces... used thicker athletic socks... then simply switched back to the old shoe.

Amazing product, very light & comfortable

Bottom line: sizing for dance shoes is very subjective & you should be aware of how YOU like your dance shoes to fit before trusting other reviews. I usually wear a 7.5 in street shoes, occasionally a 7 and usually a 7 fits but I like the 7.5 better. Ibought these shoes for irish dance & I ordered an 8 and they fit great. I have wide toe box, and a high arch, and this fits both nicely. I prefer a snug fit for my dance shoes (my irish dance shoes are 3.5 soft/ghillie & 4.5 hard/jig) and I think I could have gotten away with the 7.5 in these as well. If you want these to fit like your street shoes (room/not tight in the toe box)--go at least half size up but no more than a full size. If you like your dance shoes snug, you can order these true to size or at most a half size up. I notice a lot of these reviews seem to be from people with very wide feet/ankles, this is not the case for me. On my first use I find I like the balance of being able to turn & not sliding too much--seems others do not have this experience, I think it depends on what you want them for. If you want super grippy shoes, these are not it. The synthetic sole is somewhat firm & I think they need to be softer for grip. I can move easily without fear of falling. Cannot speak to durability yet.

Molto comode

These are really comfortable and lightweight on my feet when dancing. I dance a lot of bachata and salsa and needed shoes with less grip to be able to spin properly. Tried these in my dance class and they were perfect for spinning and also gave support to my high instep. Only downside is the tongue on the right shoe digs in a bit on my foot but I can cut it down a bit and this should hopefully prevent it from happening.

Super bequem für z.b. lange Salsa Tanzabende
