Capezio Women's E Series Jazz Slip-on Shoe

Needed these shoes for an adult jazz dance class and these are perfect. Be careful with the sizing here. After reading reviews, I sized up one size and they fit perfectly. I wear an 8 street shoe and sized up to a 9. However, I do have a very narrow foot--if you don't have a narrow foot I would definitely size up 1.5. These shoes need to be tight, but not uncomfortable, and they do stretch a bit with use.

I ordered my regular shoe size 8 because it was suggested, without paying attention to the reviews. They were tight and short, so I returned them. Then ordered 8.5 Wide and they are perfect. Can’t wait to wear them for my class this week. They are soft and the size now is right. So I recommend go up a half size and if your feet are medium width, go with the Wide option.

Like everyone else I went a size larger and wide. They are super trim toenails snug. The arch was slightly too long so I could have theoretically gone down 1/4 size. The heel area fits like Nina’s. I have a high heel so would have liked it to be higher cut in the heel.The leather quality was supple. It gives great support for dancing. It’s super light weight which I love. The arch is completely flexible and allows a better range of movement. They seem somewhat durable but the glue shows if you go eye level with it.Otherwise. I have back issues. I’m in constant pain and these shoes allowed me to dance as best I can given my limitations. All worth it because dancing is a joyful act.Bonus is nostalgic brand for me. When I was able to painlessly dance. These were the go to brand for me.Because the price was significantly lowered I’m giving these a bonus star.

This shoe has lasted through a full run of a show (16 shows) with practices and on a woman 270lbs and 6ft tall. Only thing is, I finally found a shoe that fits, but I ordered 14, I wear a 13. I just recently came back to reorder for a new show, not because of the shoe not lasting, but, I need to go up a size. I was surprised to find that this shoe is a 14 with no room. Also, when the shoe was new, its a little stiff. So, when I put them on, I pressed the heel of the shoe down over the heel of the sole. It never corrected itself and has forever slide down on the heel like a loose sock. All in all, I still give it 5 stars. Going to order another pair now so I don't fight with the shoe falling down and get a little more toe room.

We ONLY order our Capezio dance shoes from Amazon, have for several years now! Great value for money, fit is always right and excellent quality product!

The jazz shoes felt like they were 3 sizes too small! Order at least 2 to 3 sizes bigger.

I ordered these for a musical I’m currently in, as I needed comfortable dance shoes. They are flexible, comfortable, fit try to the size guide, and are a great value for the price. I’ve been practicing in them for 4 weeks and 2 shows thus far.

After putting off dance shoes for years of summer theater camp I finally broke down. I essentially lived in these for 6 weeks and can't believe I put it off so long. They do run small - I went a full size up and they were still snug on the first couple of wearings. Comfortable - easy to pack to trips to the theater and dance studio. They did start showing signs of wear so if you dance year round they might not be your jam but for part timers like myself - definitely worth the investment.
