Quality ballet shoes for kids
We always buy Capezio ballet shoes for my daughter. We have gone through 5 pairs in 4 years, and we just keep getting the next size as her foot grows.They are durable and worth the money.We always buy 1 size bigger than her shoe size, because I feel they run small.

Pretty good ballet shoe & it's Capezio
I've started adult ballet (exercise) and needed some ballet shoes. I've never ordered shoes off internet before because I am hard to fit. I went ahead because I needed them immediately and the price was right. They came in exactly on time. I ordered an 8.5 medium (using some of the reviewer comments). My street shoes are usually medium to wide around the ball/toes and super narrow on the heel, and typically 8.5 in American made, but can range from 7.5 - 8.5 with others. These Capezio ballet slippers fit pretty well. Too wide at ball (and arch) of foot. I've pulled the elastic strings as tight as possible and that has helped. They fit pretty good, pulled tight for me to wear in class, but still a bit loose at the arch. They are a bit tight at the toes (length), but I expect them to loosen slightly with wearing. The way we are working in class, I imagine that I will need to purchase again. The next time I purchase Capezios, I will order 8.5 regular. I am pleased with the purchase and the quality.

Great fit as long as you get the right size
I am a size 8.5 (I wear nikes mostly). My foot is 24.8 cm. I never wear narrow or wide shoes but I purchased a 9.5 Narrow in these ballet shoes. I definitely believe you should go up at least one whole size (I looked at their sizing chart and an 8.5 would’ve been a 24.6 cm so I wouldn’t order my street shoe size because it would’ve been too small). I was conflicted between a 9 and 9.5 but so glad I chose 9.5 because my toes are comfortably at the top.Feels fine with or without socks. Since these run wide, I’m glad I chose the narrow fit. They were still a tiny bit loose but tightening the strings helped solve that.

Nice shoes, but...
The shoes are good quality. The fit was a little tricky. I wear 8 or occasionally 8.5 M in street shoes, depending on the shoe (8.5 is always roomy), so I ordered 8.5. Too tight in the toe box, and not sure whether they were long enough or not, as they are supposed to fit rather close to the foot. I know they stretch a bit and conform to the foot, but they say not to keep them if they are actually uncomfortable, which they were. I really didn't know whether to just go up to a 9M, or actually get a Wide (which I never do in shoes). Got the 9M and they are better. Just enough extra to go around.Ballet shoes always seem to gap around the sides; just pull the elastic tie to take up the slack, tie it and tuck it inside the shoe.The 8.5s came in a red Capezio box and had a red logo inside and a ballerina on the outer sole. The 9s came in a poly bag, have a different, grey logo inside and a stylized "X" on the outer sole. I wondered whether I had a legit product, but the photos from Capezio do show the latter style.The problem was that the 9s arrived with a noticeable number of what looked like black animal hairs inside the shoes. They seemed perfect otherwise, but that was kind of gross. I took photos and told Amazon about it. I didn't care enough to return them, and they did offer a minor comp.

Cute details but runs very wide, even if you order in a Narrow size
Pros, beautiful ballet pink with cute stitching , there's even a place to write your dancers name.Cons, Wide too wide. Usually a 7 , ordered these in a 7.5 regular and 7.5 narrow, even the narrow was too wide.I would order this for slippers around the house but not for ballet class.
