Capezio Women's Studio Shoes Dance Sneaker

I'm a former amateur dancer. I did ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop in high school and college. There's a reason Capezios are a trusted brand. Since college, I've partner danced socially and now that I'm 40 years old, I have no interest in dancing in heels any longer. Even my short 2.5 inch heels. Retired them. I just want to be comfortable and enjoy the dance to the fullest. I care more about how my body feels in the movement, than how my feet look in the shoes. So I bought these jazz sneakers for salsa and swing dancing.I just tried them on in my house on wood floors and they are as amazing as I remember. I was able to do inside and outside double turns. If my balance were better, I would have been able to easily hit triple and quadruples. They have enough grip to dance around and stop when I want and they are designed for easy turns, keeping the knees safe and helping with balance.I also want to note that they look, feel, and turn better than Fuegos. Fuegos are unisex shoes, so even when they are sized right, they rub the outside of my feet and look like clunky guy shoes on my feet. Almost like clown shoes, since the Fuegos are so wide. That's another reason I opted for Capezios. They look nice on my feet; they are made to fit women's feet so they look more slender and they hug my feet properly without rubbing; and they allow me to point and turn. I'll save the Fuegos for outdoor events and use the Capezios for indoor dancing.Also, there is a bunch of conversation in the reviews about sizing up or down. Amazon's AI even suggested that I size down by half and said that 90% of users that take their suggestion don't return them. Amazon was wrong. These Capezios run TRUE TO SIZE. If you were born female, order your normal size. I wear 8.5 in most shoes, 9 in some heels. An 8.5 fit me perfectly.

These are perfect for Zumba and I will buy again.

Bought these shoes for dance class that includes line dance, jazz dance, and some ballroom. They serve the purpose but are not terribly comfortable. There is some perceived slippage of the heel out of the shoe sometimes. Cannot wear for longer than a couple of hours, or they start to hurt. They run small.

My daughter is a competitive Irish step dancer (think, Riverdance) and needed some shoes for warm up and outdoor performances. She says these are comfortable and perfect for her needs. The sole has the arch flexibility she needs and is hard enough that she can hear her steps.Fit is true to size.

Muy útil y alta calidad. Tal como esperaba

If your kid has regular/ wide feet size up two sizes

The materials used are of good quality! Comfortable and a worthwhile purchase!

I received the shoes today, and the left one turned out to be already worn.
