Small size: my review

They are undersized. When she was 10 years old we went to a local dance shop. She was measured and wore 9 shoes at a dance shop, which is also her true shoe size.

Pros
  • Good job Capezio... shoes that fit and last all season!
Cons
  • Shoes are not breathable, which can lead to foot odor and discomfort.

Too small - my opinion

The shoes look great but they were too small for my daughter's feet. She normally wears a size 9 but we ordered a size 9 and her feet barely fit in it.

Pros
  • This is my daughter's second pair of shoes, she loves them and they fit perfectly. They arrived quickly and look great.
Cons
  • It can be difficult for a toddler to tie their shoelaces, causing frustration and delays.

Ideal! -- my new rating

They arrived brand new as expected. They run small like all dance shoes, so order a half to full size. The shoes are connected with an elastic band, and the band can be torn off completely for the dancers to put them on themselves. Completely satisfied!

Pros
  • Like everything
Cons
  • Shoes are uncomfortable for toddlers to wear for a long time, resulting in pain in the feet and legs.

True to size but wish it didn't have laces.

Not bad quality but difficult for a 6 year old to tie a shoelace. She has to keep asking the teacher for help. It takes time to get into the beginning.

Pros
  • Capezio is the best brand. Looks great and sounds great!
Cons
  • Shoes are not designed to be worn with socks, which causes discomfort to the child.

Suitable Excellent new rating

I bought these for my 4 year old daughter for her first dance class. They fit perfectly, are comfortable and just what she needs.

Pros
  • First year in the dance and they fit great, we followed the sizing guide and she loves it.
Cons
  • We ordered far with no luck. My baby cried when we tried to put them on. She didn't even have wide legs, but they were brutal.

narrow shoes Increase the size by 1.5.

My daughter is 3.5 years old. Her foot measures 6.2 inches from big toe to heel. I bought black patent leather tap dancers size 9.5 for big kids. The shoes fit her perfectly as they have about 20cm of room to grow. Shoes are very narrow. Just like my daughter's legs. "Wide" is not wide. She usually wears size 8 toddler shoes. These shoes are beautiful and good quality.

Pros
  • Excellent quality hood.
Cons
  • The shoes are not waterproof or waterproof, which can cause damage when wet.

true size! Easy to tie and untie! Good quality!

These tap shoes fit as expected. The lace is very easy to tie. I double knot it to keep it from unraveling during my daughter's dance class. Making a double knot with this lace is easy and hassle-free. The shoes look great and go really well with my daughter's black swimsuit.

Pros
  • Comfortable for my 4 year old daughter. Good build quality.
Cons
  • Shoes are not versatile enough for different dance styles.

Damage and missing laces.

The shoes were packed in a very large box into which a piece of tissue paper was thrown, not wrapped to protect it in any way. The shoes have scuffs (top and bottom) and no laces. I am very disappointed in the product, especially after all the rave reviews. I will return them.

Pros
  • You must choose your child's next size up. I'm a 9 and size 9 is very tight.
Cons
  • The style is ok, the color is ok, but the overall quality is a bit small, out of place.

Cute but very narrow

I want to return this product because immediately after the first hour of knocking I understand that it will not be comfortable at all. They are very narrow, so not suitable for normal or chubby baby legs. They look cute but I definitely regret this purchase. Now we need to gift them to someone who likes them and buy other tap shoes for my daughter.

Pros
  • The product works as advertised.
Cons
  • Shoes tend to become loose and flexible, causing discomfort and a safety hazard.

Shoes are small and very narrow

The shoes looked good but were too small. We measured her feet and followed her size chart. According to the chart it needed a 9 but we ended up returning it and got a 10.5 on the spot which was fine. The nines were very tight.

Pros
  • I love them in the wide version. Fits perfectly. A very good quality.
Cons
  • The shoes are heavy and it can be uncomfortable for the baby to wear them for a long time.

she said it was comfortable

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter and her shoes are a size 9. I bought a size 9, was concerned if it would be good or not but it worked and it was perfect.

Pros
  • Very good
Cons
  • Shoes don't offer enough cushioning for baby's sensitive feet.

Runs small, great shoes!

My daughter is a size 11 but all her previous tap shoes were bought in the following size as they tend to run small. I ordered these shoes in size 12 and they were too small. I contacted a company who were more than willing to trade in for a larger pair. I received 13 today, they fit with little room to grow. These tap shoes have an elastic band that runs along the top of the foot under the temple. Is that what you want! This provides extra security and prevents the shoes from dangling and…

Pros
  • Great for my daughter's tap and ballet classes! Excellent quality!
Cons
  • Shoes can cause blisters and chafing on your baby's feet due to the material and design.

A little bit small

Works little. Order one size up or a half size up for a better fit. The toe box is fine. The elastic is too tight. Good quality shoes. If you buy the right size, this is a good choice.

Pros
  • Perfect tap dance shoes for my 6 year old. I'll update here if anything changes.
Cons
  • Shoes are not machine washable, making cleaning difficult.

THE WAY IS TOO NARROW. CAUSE BLISTERS!

The show is very long and narrow, causing blisters. I bought a size 12 and a size 12.5 and although the size 12 fits the length, it's too tight even for a narrow foot. She can wear a 12.5 on her foot, but it's too long and still too tight. The quality of the show is acceptable, but I expected a better match from Capezio.

Pros
  • Great shoes fit as expected and the elastic band makes it easy for little ones to change shoes.
Cons
  • Shoes can get too hot and stuffy, causing sweating and discomfort in the child.

Excellent quality, small size

I listen to the recommendations and increased the size even if it seems small. So far they fit my daughter but I don't know for how long. Aside from the size, the quality seems excellent. These are really good shoes, the sizes just don't correspond to reality.

Pros
  • Great slippers for the little ones!
Cons
  • Shoes are too expensive for children's clothes

Studio Owner's Opinion

I am a dance studio owner and also a mother to a 5 year old tap dancer. The reason I chose the Capezio over the Bloch tap shoes is the sock shape. My daughter's toes are straighter from thumb to pinky meaning they don't taper diagonally much. She doesn't have wide feet, but her Bloch shoes are curved at her toes in a way that pinches her fourth and little pinky fingers. Capezio's tap shoe is more rounded in the toe area, allowing more clearance for toes that are more angular or don't taper too…

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • Big and Bulky

Everything you need in a crane shoe!

These tap shoes are perfect! We have a second set of shoes. Capezio is a reliable brand that I trust (I was a dancer for 10 years). These are high quality shoes that will stand up to your throbbing toddler. I love that there is an elastic band to keep the shoe on the foot, not just a band to hold on to. You don't even have to use a ribbon if you want, but it looks prettier that way. I bought one size larger than my daughter wears. For example, my daughter wears regular size 8 shoes (Carters…

Pros
  • Clothing, shoes and jewelry
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

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 and tap classes starting tomorrow. I ordered them on Friday using Capezio's 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 US. You are too small! I should have ordered 8! I'm so pissed. I have no way of getting another order for your lesson. I'm having trouble figuring out where to go locally to get what I need…

Pros
  • Dance
Cons
  • Long delivery
