CapezioWomen's Jr. Footlight T-Strap Dance Shoe

True to size. I'm 5'10," have flat feet, and wear a womans shoe size 12 medium. This is the first pair of heels I've worn in over 5 years. The heel height is manageable and still makes your derriere look nice. Comfortable enough to wear for 6 hours at a wedding and reception.Don't forget to scuff the bottom or you may fall on your face.

I am a true 7.5, always have been. All the reviews said to size up. I was skeptical as these are character/dance shoes which 1) should fit snug 2) are made of soft leather that stretches. Glad I bought 1 of each before my event as the size up was way too big. I only half sized up to an 8. Attached photo is the 8.7.5 fit perfect, they’re incredibly comfortable, no need to break in and very flattering.

I use these for performing as princesses and other characters and they are beautiful and very sturdy. The fit is fantastic as I have a hard time finding narrow enough character/musical theater dance shoes. The t strap helps a lot and they are very lightweight for a pair of heels. The bottom is a suede material so these will be great on hardwood and vinyl stages and especially on marley. Also they are very stable and I don't tweak my ankle with them on. I have a weird gait where my foot supinates occasionally and my ankle rolls outward but so far this doesn't happen in these shoes. I will say you MUST break these in before wearing them. The first time I wore them was in a parade, over an hour of walking and even though I was wearing heel socks, they rolled down and my foot started to bleed up by the big toe joint as I have mild bunions. So heed my warning and break them in and bandage up areas that tend to rub on your shoes.

I have very narrow, high arch feet. As in, I never size up when online reviews tell you to do that for a shoe and never have a problem. In fact, I'm a size 8 that fits in 7.5 sneakers easily. Well, for the first time, this size 8 was just too tight for comfort. I ordered a Capezio size 8 footlight character shoe at the same time and it fits fine with even a little room to spare (but not so much that I'd say return it). But I have to say that this shoe is one time where I'd say, size up... Nice looking shoe. But it really was small for size. And definitely not the comfort level I was expecting from a Capezio dance shoe.

There is a reason this brand is so popular! The shoe was very comfortable and true to size. It's ability to slide when you ask it to and grip when you need it to has been exceptional. It did scuff rather easily, but it should be easy to fix with a bit of polish. Definitely a steal for the price point.

Terrible quality. Attempting to return. Purchased these shoes in December and rehearsals behaving in January. Last night, mid performance, the entire heel snapped off. Absolutely disgraceful. My daughter had to try and glue her shoe back together to finish the show. So disappointed

The shoes are overall good in terms of comfort and fit, but the buckles are too small for the straps, making it almost impossible to buckle them while they are on your feet. Your only hope is to force the buckles through the straps while they are off of your feet and stretch them to put them on while bucked.

Was told to get character shoes for a theater thing I'm doing. Got these suggested to me by a friend in the cast. Works perfect for what I needed. My arches are high so I was hesitant about the t-strap but they ended up fitting perfect. Well made, not falling apart, even after several months of constant harsh use. Be sure you break them in! Coming back for these again if the ones I have now ever get lost or broken.
