Capezio Womens Studio Shoes

The shoes are great and very stable for dancing. Turns are much easier in these than in normal jazz shoes however I am not able to point my toe as well. They look nice and would be great for both jazz and hip hop. As for sizing, I typically wear a 7-7.5 in sneakers. I ordered a 7.5 and it's a little too big to do toe stands without my feet sliding forward. The people saying to order a size up apparently want these to fit like althletic shoes not dance shoes. So if you're getting them for zumba or to wear everyday, go up a size. If you are a dancer get your normal size.

I'm a former amateur dancer. I did ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop in high school and college. There's a reason Capezios are a trusted brand. Since college, I've partner danced socially and now that I'm 40 years old, I have no interest in dancing in heels any longer. Even my short 2.5 inch heels. Retired them. I just want to be comfortable and enjoy the dance to the fullest. I care more about how my body feels in the movement, than how my feet look in the shoes. So I bought these jazz sneakers for salsa and swing dancing. I just tried them on in my house on wood floors and they are as amazing as I remember. I was able to do inside and outside double turns. If my balance were better, I would have been able to easily hit triple and quadruples. They have enough grip to dance around and stop when I want and they are designed for easy turns, keeping the knees safe and helping with balance. I also want to note that they look, feel, and turn better than Fuegos. Fuegos are unisex shoes, so even when they are sized right, they rub the outside of my feet and look like clunky guy shoes on my feet. Almost like clown shoes, since the Fuegos are so wide. That's another reason I opted for Capezios. They look nice on my feet; they are made to fit women's feet so they look more slender and they hug my feet properly without rubbing; and they allow me to point and turn. I'll save the Fuegos for outdoor events and use the Capezios for indoor dancing. Also, there is a bunch of conversation in the reviews about sizing up or down. Amazon's AI even suggested that I size down by half and said that 90% of users that take their suggestion don't return them. Amazon was wrong. These Capezios run TRUE TO SIZE. If you were born female, order your normal size. I wear 8.5 in most shoes, 9 in some heels. An 8.5 fit me perfectly.

I needed a dance sneaker that would allow me to move correctly on a wooden floor during my Zumba class. My Nike Musique IV shoes were just a bit too "grippy", and I noticed many of my classmates had the Capezio Rockits. After reading all the Rockit reviews, as well as the reviews for several other styles and brands of dance sneakers, I decided to go ahead and order the Rockits. I'm glad I did, because this style works much better for me. The soles are more slippery, which is what I need to do the moves and steps right; but not so slippery that I am afraid I'll fall, and the split sole is much better for moves that require you to be on your toes or heels. There are two reasons I didn't give this style five stars: 1) I was warned by some of my classmates that they tend to run narrow, and I would have to agree. I have an average width foot, wear size 8 normally, and I did order up a half size as advised in many of the reviews. The length is fine, but by the end of my hour long class my little toes feel cramped; it might be because they hit right where there is a seam. (One of my classmates Rockits are actually coming apart in the exact same place, and she says she knows several other of our classmates have had the same issue). I don't wear socks with them either. 2) Why does it have to have so much padding on the tongue and upper portion? It is nice & comfy, but I just don't see the reason for it...it makes the shoe bulky, and I don't think its necessary. Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe. The price was reasonable, and I feel like I can move better and get the benefit of the exercise, and I do like the way they look except for that thick tongue!

I had a pair of these shoes before and literally danced right through them! I had them for a number of years and only wore them on dance surfaces (never outside) and I have had these shoes for well over 10 years. I started to poke through in the little toe, then along the front sole. I eventually just danced right through them. I looked at the number on the shoe, ordered the same ones in the same size and they fit perfectly! I did not even have to use them for part of the time and then give them a rest. I just put them on and danced as before! Great turning feature! Great support and cushion, but enough flexibility to do what I need to do for a variety of dance styles.

Runs quite narrow. I don’t have a wide foot so I was surprised at how snug they feel. I’m hoping they’ll stretch out. Also a little stiff.

The materials to make this shoe are all man made (so very inexpensive materials; poly's). I'd rather prefer it be leather or canvas however it is still a great shoe. The jazz shoe I purchased before this was the Bloch jazz shoe, that was a great shoe also but didn't last very long. The sole on these Capezio is like a hard plastic/rubber that slides great and easy to move around the floor, however I will have to wait and see how well they last. They are great but not for walking because they have no grip soles. The shoes are very comfortable and I did order it one size and a half bigger, I can also wear thicker socks if I like, it has a flat point in front if you want to dance on pointe. Easy to move in and very light weight, I take these to the gym and workout too.

Can’t praise this highly enough. Come slightly small so took me 2 go’s to get the right size. Lightweight and good value. Went up from a 7 to an 8. Very comfortable. Got a replacement within 24 hours. Great quality and fab service.

I normally wear Sasha brand, the two pairs I purchased many years unfortunatly broken. First time purchased Capezio from Amazon. Arrived pretty quick and packed in good condition . Size is perfece and I already used to my Saturday class. Lets how they can last long enough . Giving the purchase experieces I give for 5 for now .

I purchased and read reviews. I did a half size larger, barely fits. But it does fit. I think I would be happier with one size larger like the description by the company says. I also have wide feet and lace ups can accomodate. I will probably wear these around the apartment. Indoor shoes. and dancing when no one is looking shoes. Ha

Top schoenen wel zeker 2 maten groter bestellen

Used it for Line dancing
