Stunning. Beautifully made. Can’t wait to wear them on stage!!
These are exactly what I was hoping for. The fit was a little snug at first but they are leather and do stretch and are now just right. They are supportive and look great on stage.
As usual, Capezio makes an excellent , sturdy, quality shoe. You just need to know that the leather is NOT the tan represented in the photo. It is darker and has gray tones. I returned the shoes.
I love these shoes. I ordered them on Monday and I had them on Thursday! This is incredible because I live in Australia. I ordered the wide fitting and the shoes fit perfectly. If you are in the habit of order UP half a size (because you have a wide foot) then don't, these shoes are true to size.The colour (gold) is gorgeous) and the comfort is very good.I'm not a dancer and I'm wearing these as street shoes, so dancers may have other considerations in mind.
Purchased for our 20’s themed wedding and believe me I tried every shoe available in my size that I could find on Amazon that would remotely work. Unfortunately these were the only ones that seemed like they could be alright with tights too. Nope, I had to take them off a few minutes into the reception. Created blisters in strange spots and so uncomfortable after just a few minutes. Yes, I tried breaking them in and adding custom arch support but they still failed. Really disappointed that I am stuck with this shoe.
I really like these shoes. I bought my regular street size and they fit like a glove. I also have slight bunions and the medium width was just right. These are excellent for ballroom dancing. The color is as shown...taupe. Although these shoes are expensive the quality and workmanship are excellent and the leather is top notch. If you can swing the price, they are worth purchasing.
I ordered the 10W, they fit well. I also ordered gold b/c I wasn't going to pay full price... but the gold is actually quite beautiful. I feel very steady in these heels, and typically, I wear flats except for a 1.5in heel for salsa 3 times a week. I wore them for my class pictures so that I could be taller than my students =)
Wonder company and excellent product! I love these shoes! I do more than dance in them, I wear them for an evening out on the town with my husband as they are so comfortable!
