Excellent product, horrible sizing guidelines. The Wide is like narrow… The websight & seller gives very little guidelines, and leaves you guessing based on vague information. The guidelines state order what you normally wear, when that is not true. What you normally wear is 1-2 sizes too small. Order 1 to 2 sizes larger than you need if you expect to wear these out of the box, while keeping in mind that you need to break them in also. Very disappointed & now have no shoes for my show coming up…must now order a second pair, hope they fit, and deal with the hassle of returning these.

I have been taking Ukrainian dance classes since the end of October 2019. I needed jazz shoes, so we tried Kijiji. Those ended up being too small, and when I tried to stretch them with water, the insole fell out on the heel of one. I needed jazz shoes, and after researching, these seemed like a pretty good option.
I’m about a size 9 street, so I took Capezio’s advice and I got a size 9 wide. I have pretty wide feet and, honestly, these caused strain on the shoe and pain when I wore them for the first while. However, the lace up ones had a big gap between my ankle area and the shoe, which made them feel loose around the heel. I don’t think I’ll be buying those ones again.
Most sources I’ve seen say that after a few wears, these shoes will be stretched. I’ve had mine for two months tomorrow, and one of the shoes still isn’t stretched enough to be completely comfortable. I take a 1 hour class weekly and I often practice at home. I don’t know why, but the left one is really well stretched. The right one is still a bit tight. I think it might be because I often use my left foot for turns.
On another note, the sizing was pretty accurate. I might go half a size up next time (if I buy them again, and frankly, I probably will because I love these shoes.) for optimum comfort, but I don’t know. The elastic is holding up really well, and the bottoms aren’t too worn out yet, so these could last me for a while.
The shoes have a nice build and are pretty comfortable to wear once they’re stretched to your foot. I love these shoes even if the leather is a bit tight (For now! They’ll stretch eventually!). I would definitely recommend them! Also, because they’re slip-on, you can just slide them on, so really convenient.

I purchased a pair of these for my 14-y.o. daughter. She wears a 7.5 in street shoes, which I also wear. I took a lot of time deciding which size to buy.
We measured her foot, but it seemed small. So I went with the guideline of 1 size larger than street shoes. Her 8.5 fits snug, especially on her big toe, which is her longest toe. I tried it on with the same result.
The rest of the shoe fit well without any tightness at all. We decided that we would give it a chance to let the shoe stretch a bit and form to her foot better as she wears it. If I were in the store, I would’ve had her try a 9 as well. But I can’t say how that would’ve gone.
The quality of the shoe is excellent, both materials and stitching. I’m confident we won’t have any issues there.
Good luck finding the right fit!

Keep in mind, if you are buying these for a child, an adult 3 is not a child 3. That being said, these shoes still run small and narrow. I got my daughter a 4.5W (which is supposed to be equivalent to be a Euro 35, and equivalent to the 3.5 child she normally wears), and it was quite narrow and very small. It is about a third to a half-inch longer than the size 1.5 child’s jazz shoe I got for her sister in this brand, and quite a BIT smaller than the 2.5W child Capezio ballet slippers I recently ordered. I am sending these back for a size 6W and hope they work. Obviously size up to match the actual adult size rather than trying to buy your child their regular size, but then size up again, in our experience!

The shoes are really nice but unfortunately I have worn them a couple of times to try and stretch them as know they are a very snug fit and did buy a size higher than my usual shoe size but im sure they are the wrong size and cannot seem to find the size anywhere on the shoe.??

My shoes arrived today and they fit like a glove! I just wanted to update y’all because reading through the reviews on Amazon was giving me a headache. Between people saying they were a perfect fit and that they run up to two sizes too small.
My takeaway from sifting through the reviews and product information was that you should buy the size you usually wear, unless perhaps your big toe is longer than your second toe, in which case, order a half size bigger. They will start tight and stretch with wear.
I ordered in my usual size and I’m happy with the length. They look tiny when you take them out of the box, but they are stretchy. My toes are a little snug in the front, but going by what other people (and the company) say, they do stretch more with time. My big toe is a little shorter than my second toe and I can see why it might be a problem if it weren’t because the top of the shoe is quite round. I’m really glad I ordered the wide (for my wide feet), because they are pretty tight across the instep.
So, anyway. These are so comfortable, and light, and give a nice balance between security/grip and slipperiness for spins. Looking forward to trying them out next week!
I will update this review if they wind up not living up to my expectations on the stage floor.

This shoe has lasted through a full run of a show (16 shows) with practices and on a woman 270lbs and 6ft tall. Only thing is, I finally found a shoe that fits, but I ordered 14, I wear a 13. I just recently came back to reorder for a new show, not because of the shoe not lasting, but, I need to go up a size. I was surprised to find that this shoe is a 14 with no room. Also, when the shoe was new, its a little stiff. So, when I put them on, I pressed the heel of the shoe down over the heel of the sole. It never corrected itself and has forever slide down on the heel like a loose sock. All in all, I still give it 5 stars. Going to order another pair now so I don’t fight with the shoe falling down and get a little more toe room.

Wrong size information, very small

Great quality shoe, but they do NOT have their sizing accurate. The first pair I bought were painfully small. They recommend buying your shoe size and that they’ll “mold” to your foot. Forget that. Order at least a size larger. I had to have them stretched and they were still tight. I ordered another pair (one stays at my studio and one i carry with me) 1.5 sizes larger than my shoe size and those fit.

Larger than expected but look nice on

I’m giving it 4 stars ONLY because the sizing is WAY OFF. Capezio makes the best dance shoes with the highest quality and that’s the only shoe that’s allowed in my daughter’s dance class. She wears a size 2 in regular shoes – sneakers, a 1.5 size in sandals. I ordered size 3, 3.5 and 4 to see which one would fit. The size 4 BARELY fits. So I’m returning all 3 sizes and ordered size 4.5. She wears a 2.5 in the Capezio U-shell tap shoes and a size 2.5 in the Capezio ballet shoes. Also for these E series Jazz shoes – there is no “child” sizes – it stops at 1.5 for child sizes so you have to go to the women’s size. This is probably the reason for the size discrepancy.

I expected to receive Capezio brand shoes and a decent quality leather. However, these are not Capezio but an off brand I could have ordered for for less money.. It was too late to send them back or order another pair as my daughter needed them for a musical production. Very disappointed I paid more money for a brand I did not receive, and the quality seems cheap.
