Detailed Review
The Capezio Women's Ballet Flat is specifically crafted for dancers who seek freedom of movement alongside necessary support. The use of a four-way stretch Nylon Lycra Spandex upper ensures flexibility while allowing your skin to breathe, making these flats an excellent choice for lengthy rehearsals or performances.
The patented ExoArmor duet sole patches are a highlight feature, enabling your feet to flex in a natural manner while providing a shield against wear. Coupled with the thin layer of Bunheads gel, these flats absorb impact effectively, which can ease pressure during high-intensity routines.
Wearing the Capezio ballet flats feels like wearing a second skin; they hug your feet snugly without feeling constrictive. The one-sided plush elastic with the Capezio logo adds security, ensuring you can focus on your dance moves rather than adjusting your shoes mid-performance.
However, it’s important to note that while the Capezio flats provide moderate support, dancers looking for substantial arch support may find them lacking. Additionally, those who prefer a more structured shoe might want to explore other options.
Overall, the Capezio Women's Ballet Flat stands out as a stylish and functional choice for dancers who prioritize comfort and a natural feel while performing.

My daughter's feet were getting chewed up by jagged edge tape on the floor at her studio. These protect her feet and she says they are so comfortable she almost doesn't want to take them off. She has a size 9 women's street shoe, and the medium was perfect.
They were a perfect fit, and are very good for turning!
I love Undeez. I have used them before and I will continue to use them. I do lyrical, acrobat, jaz, ballet, and similar styles and these work great for them all. I do have other shoes that I use when the occasion calls for it but these are a go to. I'd say they are the beat for Acrobats though. They give you that spin and slide on the ball of your foot when you need it while still allowing you to put your toes down for the perfect grip. I would suggest buying slightly smaller than you'd think. Someone at the studio usually orders them for me but this time I tild her I would... These fit me better than when she buys me the size up.I do wish they lasted longer. The stitching that holds the leather to the bottom tends to break. It seems to me like they should last longer than that, although the floor at my studio is falling apart and needs to be refinished. That is probably a big factor in why they don't last.Overall, I love them.
I LOVE these - I use them to go dancing with my wife barefoot ALL of the time. I love spinning her in them and dancing myself with them. They are highly durable, and really make barefoot dancing AMAZING!
These pivot well and stay on very nicely, so far (I've worn them a half-dozen times). They squeak on the floor when you pivot, but with music playing, that's not an issue. The first time I wore these, I wasn't fond of the way the soles felt (because the patches were only on part of bottom of the "shoe"), but I didn't notice any discomfort after that first wear. I can't wear these more than a hour or two, but I attribute that to the fact that the pads of my toes aren't tough enough to take any more barefoot dancing than that.
Great quality footundeez! They are well made and feel very comfortable to wear.
Really good if you are a dancer. If you haven’t used foot undeez before it might be weird but you’ll get the hang of it! Highly recommend purchasing.
This is just what my daughter needed. She is a size 6 and it fit perfectly and is very comfortable.
