Fabulous, comfortable shoes, April 18, 2010
I bought this shoe because I used to wear them for dancing, I do not dance any more but wanted the comfort and support these shoes provide. Great cushion on the innersole.

Ouch! Hard leather. Size pretty close to street size., February 10, 2011
This review is from: Capezio Women's 650 Student Footlight Character Shoe (Apparel)
The leather on the Student Footlight is pretty stiff and will definitely need some breaking in. I'm hoping that it will soften quickly once it warms up after being worn.
My actual shoe size is 9AAA but I frequently wear 8 1/2 N because I can rarely find the 9AAA. In the Jr. Footlight, I wear a 9 1/2 N. When I was trying to decide what size to get in the Student Footlight, I wondered if the fit was similar to the Jr. Footlight and I have to say the Student runs closer to street size. Based on my experience with the Jr. Footlight, I ordered the Student in a 9N and a 9 1/2 N and both were too long. The shoe does seem to run pretty narrow, for those who are wondering. I think the width will be fine once I get the length right.
I didn't find a significant difference in the padding/insole of either shoe. High density foam, not much arch support. Not a cushy shoe underneath the foot, but then that may be because it is meant for dance and their assumption is that the wearer would want to be able to "feel" the floor through the shoe.
As compared to the jr. footlight, the extra 1/2 inch in the heel height of the Student Footlight does make a difference in the leg line and will make the legs look even better on stage or anywhere else.
