Review on πŸ‘  Stylish and Comfortable: Capezio Women's Jr. Footlight T-Strap Dance Shoe - A Must-Have for Dancers by John Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall NICE SHOE. 1/2 SIZE SMALL (see review)

Classic Capezio quality, nice leather that stretches and flexes easily, and a classic thin leather "dance" sole (not a thick leather outdoor sole because it's in first line is a dancing shoe). If you are a dancer you may prefer a tighter initial fit that stretches over time. But if you are not used to it or don't use them for a suit etc, you can order them 1/2 size larger than your street shoes. Dance shoes tend to run small, and they're no exception. The only reason I would recommend 1/2 size larger regardless of use is because the toe box is tapered (rather than rounded) which will never stretch or expand over time! If the toe was rounded I might want to break in tighter shoes, but no stretching or breaking in can change the shape of the toe! These are not pointe shoes! You don't want your toes to suffer unnecessary pain because of the dances you're going to be using them for. And you certainly don't have to suffer to use them as a costume or for play! The color is right. Black is deep and classic. and caramel is a few shades lighter than "nude" or what most would consider "flesh" stockings (unless you've never seen the sun or aren't very bright, in which case you can just paste!). Caramel will certainly give you a nude effect if that bothers you, but some of the more expensive brands (Bloch etc.) are a few shades darker and more natural looking.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
