I ordered these shoes for a Halloween costume actually (Circus girl tight rope walker) and let me say these babies got me through 3 straight nights of festive holiday adult fun with plenty of mileage put on them via foot.

Not only were they awesome they looked way cute too.

Just the right price, can't wait to wear them again with some skinny jeans for the real ballet flat look but these shoes actually want to make me take a real ballet class. Fits true to size. I wear a size 6.5 to 7 depends on the cut of the shoe and I ordered a 7 and I couldn't have been happier.

These are exactly what I was looking for and I'm very pleased. But the sizing is a bit off--you have to go to the foot length size chart to know what size to order.
I normally wear a size 5 ( and many size 5s are too large for me) but according to the size chart I ordered a 5.5. And this was correct.

Im 16 and I just started ballet. I had my mom order these for me because they looked like good ballet shoes, and they are. These are probly the best I could have hoped for. My only caviot with them is I had to pull the draw string really tight so the shoe wouldnt bunch up when I went up onto demi point or pointed my toes so I ended up having to tape the back of my heels so it wouldnt leave an indent in them(which hurts) But other than that one little thing they fit great, work really well, and fit me in my normal street shoe size.

I've always trusted the Capezio brand, like so many products the quality has been compromised, The leather does not feel supple, sole padding and stitching are very inferior quality. I think purchasing from the store and getting a personal fitting is the best way to go with this slipper.

I'll tell you I was a bit nervous ordering these, because I read reviews of different ballet shoes with comments (as well as photos) indicating that the shoes run small. The only thing I can think of is that those who ordered simply got their ordering size wrong because I got these today and they fit me perfectly. I ordered my regular size shoe.

The sizing chart for these is admittedly confusing to the eye. They could make that more user friendly in my mind, and it might save people from ordering the wrong size shoe. However, I had no difficulty.

A beautiful shoe this is. The leather is soft, and the draw string is much nicer than the old cotton strings - these are stretch nylon and they hold the position you pull them to. The strap falls in the right place and is not too tight. The lining is comfy. The soles feel great to walk on. In addition, it has a great design is looks beautiful on your foot.

I am pleased.

This item shipped super fast but runs VERY small. I ordered a 9.5 (my regular size) and these fit more like an 8.
