Review on Capezio Jr.Tyette N625C πŸ‘Ÿ Tap Shoe for Toddler/Little Kid by Carlos Henderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT follow the Capezio size chart!

I'm very angry now! On Friday I found out that my 3 year old daughter is on the waiting list for ballet + tap classes starting tomorrow. I ordered it on Friday using the Capezio size chart. My daughter wears an 8 US and the chart says to order a 7. OK, the diagram is WRONG. These shoes are NOT equal to $8. You are too small! I have to order 8! I'm so pissed. I have no way of getting another order in time for her class. I'm having trouble figuring out where to go locally to get what I need for them. This is very frustrating and disappointing. And DANGEROUS because without their "useful" chart I would have ordered the right size! And guess what? THE SAME STORY WITH THE BALLETS. I'm not happy at all. Edit to add: I found a place nearby and ended up buying a size 9 for my daughter. Realized that Capezio's size chart is literally backwards. The "Manufacturer Size" column must indicate Capezio's shoe size and the "US" column must indicate the child's size in regular shoes. The data for the columns will be swapped! In the table "manufacturer size" "kid 7" equals "US" size 8, which means buy a Capezio toddler size 7 if your child wears other US size 8 shoes. But the chart should be just the opposite, as the Capezio sizing should be a full size larger than the general US sizing. I really don't care what else is written in the description or reviews. THE MANUFACTURER'S SIZE CHART SHOULD BE ACCURATE. Looks like they literally mixed up the column labels! What is this amateur bull? Who printed their own size chart? to EPIC. It's so annoying. And I will never order dance shoes online again. It only costs $4 more to buy the same pair of shoes from the Re Dancewear Store and they make sure the shoes fit properly. It's worth every penny not to relive this mess.

Pros
