Review on Capezio Youth Tyette Shoe Patent 10 Girls' Shoes for Athletic by John Destruction

I am a dance studio owner and mother of a five 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 abruptly. My daughter loves the comfort and the shape of the Capezio shoes makes them more spacious. Shoes don't gape and aren't too big, just not tight in the fingers. If you have a very narrow foot with pointy toes, the Bloch will fit you perfectly. Otherwise everyone else will love Capezio! Size: The Tanzshop website states that these shoes should be ordered the same size as street shoes. In our case I ordered half a size up both times and it worked for us. Half the size gave her little room to grow. I didn't want to buy another pair after two months when her foot had grown. If you're a dance teacher, a little more space is fine, but you don't want your foot to slip. Children can also wear socks to fill the extra space for a while, and when they grow up wearing shoes, they will stop wearing socks.
