Product Description

Capezio's Juliet ballet shoe is top notch when it comes to a breathable, comfortable feel. The canvas ballet slipper features pre-attached elastic at the heel for a custom fit, suede sole patches that glide delicately, a moisture-absorbent lining, and a sculpted, seamless arch that molds to the perfect fit.

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.

Came pre-sewn... issues in pictures.
Despite the product being listed as unsewen, these shoes came pre-sewn (and tacked with glue!). Why, you ask, would I knock stars down for this? Well, I want to sew them in the place that best flatters my instep. These elastics were *not* pre-sewn in the correct position ... not for my feet, and I presume, not for many people's anatomy unless your arch is closer to your toes than your heel. I seam ripped and re-did them and the fit is much better, as seen in the attached photos.I am street shoe 7. The 7.5Reg were too snug. I re-ordered 7.5Wide (an 8 would have left me gaping fabric at the heel). I have never worn a "wide" shoe in my 25 years of dancing but these feel fine.I also have doubts about authenticity as Capezios. Should have known better than to order on Amazon but I wanted them fast. Will update after a few ballet classes. (I'm an ex-professional taking adult recreational classes.)
