Quality tap shoes, run slightly small

Since these shoes are for active wear, I would have expected a little more width than normal. I ordered 1-1/2 sizes above my street shoe size to accommodate my extra width, but it is a struggle to get them on. I am hoping the leather will stretch a bit with wear.That said, the taps are excellent and I love the split sole. I get much better movement in my steps.

Great shoes need a great dancer!!

I am a guy with long, narrow feet. Buying shoes in a shoe store is NOT part of my life. When I signed up for tap class (a first for me) I was worried about finding shoes. But then I remembered that I had found Capezio jazz shoes that fit well. I looked for Capezio tap shoes that were similar and these were and are just what I needed. Not sure whey I got into my sixth decade before I learned that 10 1/2 men's translates to 12 1/2 women's size -- and the women's are narrow enough for me. Anyway, these are terrific shoes -- and I did not fall down in my first class, which is an extra recommendation. I am wearing them without socks (which is how I wore jazz shoes) and they are very comfortable that way.

Better than I expected

Fits quite well, true to size, without socks. I normally don't wear socks with my dance shoes so this shoe fit quite well. I don't like any kind of slack in my shoe or a sloppy fit and this shoe met my expectations. I ordered my street shoe size (6). I could wear a very thin sock underneath. Good flexibility in the shoe and I'm very happy with it. Good price too.

Had to Return because Toes Hurt

I was so disappointed when I tried these tap shoes on. The listing said "true to size," so I ordered my street shoe size. The box toes are very stiff and hurt my big toes a lot. There were not very flexible, although the taps sounded nice. I wore them for a few days around on my carpet, but they hurt so much that I had to return them. I switched to the Bloch brand and ordered a half size larger which they suggest, and I am thrilled! Sorry, Capezio! I have worn your character and jazz shoes over the years, but now in my 60s I need a super flexible high quality leather shoe with great support and no toe pinching.

Great shoe

I am a beginning tap student and I wanted something that sounded good and was easy to get on and off. These are wonderful. I bought up a half size and they fit in length but are a little snug in width. They will probably stretch with wear so I'm not concerned as they are still comfortable for all the basics that I can do.
