Capezio Women's Xtreme Tap Shoe – 657 Manhattan Review

I was a little hesitant to order this shoe after reading other reviews but I'm glad I did. These shoes fit me very well and I have four other pairs of tap shoes to compare them to. I find them easy to dance to and comfortable for an hour or so, although I expect them to feel even better when they break. The first few times I started with 20-30 minute sessions to break them down. Tighten the strap so I have no problem slipping the shoe over my foot which others have complained about. These shoes

Go one size up. No joke. But if you get a smaller size, you can make it bigger by wearing thick socks and then running your blow dryer over the tight spots.

I slipped and almost fell on the floor in the dance studio, but once I started I was fine. My fault but wish there was less rubber around the front faucet. Capezio recommended going to a shoe repair…

This is a VERY good shoe! This is my third pair of Capezio tap shoes that I own. You can't beat the price. I ordered growing up with the brand, love the fit and they seem to last a long time. There are improvements in the leather of the shoe and the arch support. I think they look very good on the foot. I ordered 10 and my street shoe size is 9.5 to 10. I haven't tried them with socks or tights yet but I expect them to be very snug so I don't know what to advise as they don't think that they…
