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 artisan of his own right, a cobbler. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally all over from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Soon, the shop became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to talk about 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 buy his shoes. The innovation of the productions that Salvatore Capezio devised and the comradeship he shared with the dancers molded the direction that his company would follow. In this image, the Capezio brand was traditionalisti to promote and recognize ongoing accomplishments and participation in dance.

Cute shoe but terrible sizing
By Boca Mummy
I bought this ballet slipper for my 5yo daughter for her first ballet class. The shoe is very pretty, but the sizing is way off. I ordered her a size bigger, but it was still far too tight, and as her feet are pretty narrow, it was also way too wide. I returned this slipper (in the end, it cost me a ridiculous amount of money due to return shipping) and bought her ballet slippers at Payless which are her size and fit.

sizing confusion resolved?
By Woz
These are cute and sweet ballet shoes, and Capezio is a stalwart in ballet wear. I saw all the confusion on sizing, and noticed that the size chart Amazon provides is the chart used by Amazon for all footwear. Having a few dance years under my belt, I’m familiar with the tendency toward sizing discrepancy in ballet shoes. I looked on dancedepot.com to find Capezio’s size chart: http://www.dancedepot.com/Capezio_Sizing_Charts.html. According to that chart, style 205 (this shoe) is one of the ones that runs comparable to street size. Best bet is still to measure your child’s foot anyway. Might I STRONGLY recommend going to a shoe store so they can do it with their magical slidey foot scale. It’s *made* for measuring feet for shoes (unlike the tape measure in your sewing kit). Besides, if your (3-5 year old) is like mine, they’d much rather play along with the nice shoe store salesperson than Mama (eyes roll)…

Great ballet slipper, fits true to size
By Sabrina S
These ballet slippers are perfect. However, I don’t know if they have possibly changed the sizing because I read the other reviews and followed their suggestion to order a half-size larger. And of course, they are too big now. Not terribly so, but enough that I wish I would have ordered my daughter’s regular size. Oh, well. Four-year-olds grow fast, so I’m sure she’ll grow into these by the time the dance recital comes around!
I did measure her feet with a tape measure and compared it to the sizing chart provided. She measured right at an 11, so I ordered an 11.5. I definitely recommend measuring with a tape measure and ordering true to size.
