Salvatore Capezio was born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy. Uninterested in following in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer, he became an artist of his own right, a cobbler. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Soon, the shop became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to discuss their needs and to get a pair of his shoes. As Capezio's popularity grew, dancers from around the world made it a point to visit him and purchase his shoes. The innovation of the products that Salvatore Capezio created and the camaraderie he shared with the dancers molded the direction that his company would follow. In this image, the Capezio brand was established to promote and recognize ongoing achievements and participation in dance. Capezio products remain in the forefront in quality and in technological advances with innovations like the split-sole, the stretch-insert, the Dansneaker and the Tapsneaker. Capezio believes that their success is dependent upon the individual commitment of each customer to continually set new standards of creativity and performance, while preserving a reputation for dependability and distinction. Capezio pledges their support and dedication to the advancement of dance, theater and recreation in communities worldwide. See more

Excellent tap shoes
They are flexible and super comfortable. I haven't had a pair of tap shoes in a while, and I put them on and remembered all the steps. Lots of fun!

Great Beginner Shoe
The product fits a half size larger than a normal shoe. It is comfortable and a good fit for tap dance. As I have just started taking tap,lesson it is a great shoe to start learning the dance steps.

The Shoe Fits!
For those with large feet… I am a woman who wears a size 11 sandal, 11.5 closed toe shoe, and size 12 running shoe; my feet are normal width. Following Capezio’s size guide, I ordered a size 12 and it fit perfectly. There’s room for my toes! I’ve always worn full sole tap shoes, but I didn’t notice a difference in this split sole shoe. Now I can get back to tapping without all of the pain from my old outgrown shoes!I can’t comment on longevity, but my 20 year old Capezio tap shoes have held up. I would still be using them if it wasn’t for my feet growing after having kids.

Merely Ok for an Irish dancer
For my needs, this shoe is merely okay. I'm an Irish step dance instructor; a tap shoe is a compromise to make sound but not have the discomfort of wearing Irish hard shoes for hours a day. I probably wear the shoes 4-6 hours a week for the school year and one month over the summer.The shoe sizes street shoe to slightly small - I'm a 6 1/2 or 7, and the 6 1/2 fits me; I wear a 7 1/2 Bloch dance sneaker. We all know you have to experiment with dance shoe sizes.The taps are okay to slightly muffled, some of which goes away with a little bit of use. The shoes are really flexible; you can do toe stands easily.The shoes come with a blue poron (high density foam) inner sole, which for some odd reason runs from the rear of the shoe through the arch, but the ball of the shoe is not cushion. This is a mystery to me - I think tap dancers, like me, spend more time on the ball of the foot than the heel, so why the padding doesn't extend there is baffling. The inner sole does crack over time (8-10 months) from going up on toes and pointing, but it doesn't make the shoe uncomfortable.I can see that having the inner sole cover the entire shoe bed would mean more cracking, but surely they could have separate pad at the ball of the foot, and keep a heel pad if needed. Why the arch needs padding is unclear.I think I'd like the oxford better if it had one more eyelet of lacing. Sometimes I feel like I can't snug the shoe to my foot sufficiently, especially for going on toes.For my purposes, the heel is somewhat of a bummer. We use our heels for clicks in Irish, which I realize is not a requirement for tap shoes. This shoe at least doesn't have a leather wrapped heel, which looks ratty after about a week in my case (sorry Bloch). My absolute favorite shoe by Leo's, since discontinued, had a solid, high-density plastic heel, and it was great. These shoes do have a solid heel, but it's softer, and it doesn't get a nice click, just a dull thunk, unless I catch the tap edges and then I get a metallic snick, which is okay, but a lot harder to do.The shoes look okay on my feet, which not all tap shoes do, although my Leos looked better. My foot is rather wide at the ball.My first pair lasted a year, and despite the cracked inner sole, I probably would have kept them longer but one shoe stretched out too much due to a foot brace I wore for much of last year. Now that I'm not wearing it, I can't tighten the shoe enough. This is somewhat an issue even with the brand new pair, so I think the lacing/eyelet placement is also part of the issue. The leather is heavier than on my Leos (tho not my Blochs), and on my Leos the seam tends to give by my big toe, which isn't an issue with these shoes.
