Capezio Canvas Dance Sneaker

My daughter wears a street shoe 9 and bought these shoes in a size 8.5. They fit perfectly. My daughter paid full price for a new pair of shoes and got a pair of used shoes, so be aware of that. If they had been new, they would have been beautiful, supportive, good quality, lightweight and perfect for a ballet teacher.

These shoes are very comfortable and have good arch support. Can't wait for the next Zumba and salsa classes. True to size but don't wear "thick" socks.

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.

Nice shoes but runs small because of toe structure

I bought these for my mom who had a previous pair from 2019. She said that these are much more comfortable than the other version. They are extremely light and seem to be durable. Only time will tell about the durability.

Sadly, Capezio has changed the fit and somewhat the design of this shoe. I used the prior one for years, and am very disappointed in this new one. I’ve switched to Fuego.

Very comfortable and a great shoe for square dancing. It has the right amount of smoothness to its sole for dancing and it's very flexible.

Beautiful, the person loved it !
