Perfect price, comfort, style, and sound!
I love these tap shoes! I ordered a half-size larger than my normal shoe size, based on other reviewer's comments, and they fit great. The sound is crystal clear, the entire shoe feels well-made, and the strap fits snuggly across my foot. I started wearing them for several hours at a time as soon as I got them - they are incredibly comfortable. One reviewer mentioned a problem with "toe-cleavage", and another reviewer said the caramel color was strange. I didn't have either of these problems. Some of the other ladies in my tap class went with other styles/brands, and they had problems with "toe-cleavage", strange shades of caramel, straps breaking after hours of practice, and straps that weren't as comfortable. I spent several weeks reviewing tap shoes (I even researched the expensive brand that the Rockettes wear), and I settled on these because they were the entire package of price, comfort, style, and sound. Until I can afford the style that the Rockettes wear, I'll be wearing these.

Basic Mary Jane Tap Show is perfect
Great fit & tap sound. Got the wide option and the slip resistant bottom is helpful.

Very nicely made
I just received the shoes and tried them on. I am usually a size 8 and I ordered a size 8. They fit really well, except the toe box is very tight. I think that after wearing them for awhile, they should stretch out a bit. I will also look into a gadget that may help with that stretching. I think if I go another half size bigger, the rest of the shoe will be too big. I'll add to this review after I have danced in them for a couple of weeks.But other than the tight toe box, the shoes are very well made and are otherwise very comfortable.

Size 8.5 Perfect Fit - Shoe Did Not Run Half Size Too Small
Extremely happy with my new tap shoes! I was concerned about the description stating that these shoes run a half size too small. I'm glad I trusted my gut after reading thru a few amazon reviews, ordering my normal shoe size, 8.5, because they are a PERFECT fit! Not snug or tight. Very comfortable. They feel just like character shoes, but with taps on them. Loved too that the metal was attached and I didn't need to take them to a shoe store to get the taps affixed like back in the day... :-)So if you choose to buy these tap shoes, and if you are lucky like me that they fit immediately, you can begin tapping right away!

Not made for the human foot
So disappointed in Capezio. I am a consistent 8.5 M. The website told me to order W as this shoe comes narrow. The 8.5W was too long, and still on the narrow side -- looked more like an ungainly canoe than a shoe designed for the human foot. It was very stiff and flexed in the the wrong place. AWFUL.

love this shoe!!!!!
These shoes are soooo cute!!! i couldn't wait to get them, cuz these are my first pair. they arrived alot earlier then i expected, too! i normally wear either size 8 to 8 1/2, and the sizing info was so confusing i wasn't sure what size to order. so i ordered size 8, just to be sure. when i got them i tried them on, and at first thought that they were too small, but after walking around in them for a little bit and getting my family's opinion, i realized that i wouldn't want any them bigger! the sizing info is so weird, you just have to guess and hope that you get the right size. but i would not recommend getting bigger than your original size shoe. the taps seemed a little bit quieter than other tap shoes i've heard, but i think that is bcuz i don't have the proper floor...im looking into portable tap floors, so i'll see. i've also heard that plywood works, but i tried it and it does NOT make a tap sound. its just a dull thud. but i'll have to keep looking. but overall i LOVE these shoes!!! not a waste of money
