Your cart is empty.Capezio's Juliet ballet shoe is top notch when it comes to a breathable, comfortable feel. The canvas ballet slipper features pre-attached elastic at the heel for a custom fit, suede sole patches that glide delicately, a moisture-absorbent lining, and a sculpted, seamless arch that molds to the perfect fit.
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.

I wear 8.5/9. Based on other reviews I sized up to 10W. This is a perfect fit. Straps are already sewn in place. Pleased with purchase.

Great shoe, good sturdy canvas. I am women's shoe size 8.5US (24.5cm) and the Capezio size 10Wide fit best for me. Recommend sizing up 1.5 from your regular shoe size.

I ordered a 9.5, which is 1 full size above my normal 8.5, and the slipper was so tight it was painful! I reordered a 10, and hopefully it will fit better.

So happy I was able to find good quality capezios on Amazon!!! Gone are the days when you have to go to the dance store to get shoes. Just like the ones from when I was a young dancer. Only thing is these run super small, I usually wear a 6.5-7 and had to buy a size 8.

These are great ballet shoes. Not sure why the photo has the elastic not sewn. the Elastic is already attached. My daughter loves these shoes, they accentuate her arch and she feels very comfortable in them. She can go 3-4 hours in a master class and they are not tight. The sizing is a bit confusing. We did go to Capezio store to try her very first pair on ages ago and ever since then I just get half a size up when her foot grows. Her regular size is 5 and I had to get these in size 6.5M. so its 1.5 size up for her. She's been wearing this particular shoe for 2.5 years already, they are great!

I really love how fitted and comfortable the Juliets are. The material is so breathable and came in a colour that's closer to white than it is to pink. And yes, it does feel like a sock! I especially love the idea of a seamless arch! It really does hug your instep and show off your arch, no matter how low.However, the Juliets weren't able to fully function since the shoes came pre-sewn! The description said they would only be sewn at the heels so that you can sew the front as you wish. I was disappointed, and was forced to redo the sewing. However, after you sewed them properly, these shoes are definitely beautiful!Also, these shoes seem to run a little small. I would suggest that you order a full size up from your street size (I did, and it fit me perfectly!). However, it may be best to just measure your foot's length and consult the "sizing info" next to the size dropdown box. A chart will pop up showing the size and length of the shoe so you'll know exactly how long the shoe is.There's also one more problem: the canvas covering the elastic drawstring seemed a bit rough and if you tied the elastics too tight, the canvas would rub against your skin (and especially your Achilles heel!). But what's ballet without a little pain?
