Capezio makes great dance shoes. All my daughter's tap shoes have been Capezio. However, this one for a dance recital was NOT a hit. First, she wears a 12.5 US - she would have needed a 1 or 1.5. It measured like her old 10s. No kidding. The shoe was very narrow and tight across the vamp as well. However, the reason I returned rather than exchanged was that one of the nails on one of the heels was raised rather than flush with the shoe. It was not what I'm used to from Capezio. Otherwise, beautiful shoe - leather.

Edit: I wanted to add 2 things: 1) I bought a full size bigger than she normally wears based on another reviewer - so my review is based on based on buying a full size bigger (still too small), and 2) I was charged for the return despite problems with quality and sizing I noted on the return. Therefore, based on the sizing issue and the cost of returns, I would NOT recommend purchasing this shoe from Amazon.
