I wear a women's size 9 wide but when I ordered that size they were to small so I easily returned them and ordered a  size 9 1/2 wide and they fit great!  I really like the quality and looks of these shoes.  The taps sound perfect. I bought my tap shoes to dance to music as a form of exercise. Two of my granddaughters, ages 6 and 7, want to tap dance with me so I'm going to buy them Capezio tap shoes. We'll tap dance to most of the songs by today's artists like Adele, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Beyonce, Goyte, Calvin Harris, Maroon 5, LMFAO and others,, and older artists like Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Beatles, Bon Jovi and Paula Abdul and more.  I just received my new shoes so I'm anxious to get started on my exercise program. I'm also  going to  tap dance with my best friend who will be line dancing at the same time.  I used to tap dance for fun when I was a child and then again when I was middle aged and now that I'm 65 years old I'm ready to start again!
