Product Description

She'll love every minute of wearing Capezio's Daisy ballet shoe. The leather shoe features a lightly padded footbed, a split-suede sole for ultimate flexibility, and a pre-attached elastic strap keeps her foot snug and in place.

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.

Dance mamas & papas, look no further! These ballet slippers are everything we'd hoped they be and more. Beautifully constructed, durable yet dainty, they are a little ballerina's dream while being practical too. They are holding up really well, a tough shoe, and the fit is great. After reading all the reviews, I ordered up a whole size from my dayghter's street shoe size, and that was a great idea. They fit well but with a little room to grow hopefully into the Fall. My daughter has a narrow foot and wears a 9 street shoe, so I ordered the 10N, and they are great. She keeps telling me how comfortable they are and wears them for at least an hour everyday. We're 100% pleased and will purchase these in the future for bigger sizes. Capezio, you've done it again!

The split toe style definitely makes getting the ballet slipper on easier. I would say they fit pretty true to size. When I ordered the pair for my daughter, I noticed there were options such as narrow, regular, and wide widths. My daughter has slightly wide feet but I decided to risk ordering them in regular rather than wide cause I know the leather will stretch over time. I'm glad I did because they fit perfect for width with a tab bit of room to spare. Just a thought for those moms that may have children with wide feet. Overall, very pleased and I think I may try a pair of split toe canvas ones next since her dance teacher was sporting a pair and the quality was a lot better than I had thought.

These shoes are beautiful! They fit my first grade daughter wonderfully. They are a little wide around the foot but a little tightening of the strings allows them to fit snug. This will allow her to wear them for a little bit longer. The split sole is really nice because it allows her foot to bend and move freely. This is a well made shoe and will last a long time.

These shoes are perfect. They have already taken quite a beating from my daughter and are still holding up well. The drawstring is a little long, which is easily remedied by snipping the ends after tightening the shoe. They fit very well and true to size. The soles allow your child to learn correct technique with their feet and toes as they are more flexible than a single soled shoe.
I highly recommend these ballet shoes.

Size: 13 Little KidColor: Ballet PinkVerified Purchase
I read other reviews and purchased 1 size larger than her current shoe size. These were too tight. So I ordered up another size and these were way too large. Very inconsistent. Had to make do with the smaller pair and hoped they stretch to avoid purchasing yet another pair and taking my chances. Quality is good though.

These fit the bill in every way. I did have to trim the ties quite a bit and they run a full size small. My daughter was JUST measured last week and is a street size 10.5 (the dreaded hard-to-find half sizes). I ordered her an 11.5M based on the reviews that they run small and wide. They fit her just right. There is room to grow, but not too big. I have the ties tied snugly and she is happy with the feel. I feel like I will get my money's worth even if they only last this season. She is a beginner and goes an hour a week.

Size: 10.5 Wide Little KidColor: Ballet PinkVerified Purchase
I ordered a half size larger than my daughter's street shoes and they are a tad bit big. At least now she will have some room to grow. She also has a wide foot, so I ordered wide width. These are WIDE! Though we can get by with these, next time I will order her street size in the normal width. The quality is great and the shoes are buttery soft. As with most little girls ballet slippers, the fit can be adjusted slightly with the elastic strings.

My daughter wore her first pair of Daisies for 3 full years of weekly dance classes and through three recitals. (They were sized a little large at first.). These shoes have held up. They clean up with a little soap and water. We ordered her second pair, and they look beautiful :). My son has them in black, and they work for him too. He has a very wide foot, and we were able to find a size for him. He's been in his for two years. For the little kids you can get away with ordering up a bit to give them growing room. (Not too much, but having a little extra in the toe doesn't hurt their dancing.)
