This shoe fits true to size to match my street shoe size.  It is comfortable and dependable.  It is very flattering and easy to get on/off.  It is sewn well and quality materials were used.  I see this shoe lasting a long while.

The placement of the heel under the foot takes a wearing or two to get used to but I don't even think about it anymore.  I read reviews that the heel slips off and I would say that this shoe is like any other - if your technique is sloppy your shoe will suffer for it.  If your foot placement is where you need it to be, and you are not using your shoe as a crutch to accommodate bad placement, this shoe will serve you well.  I can see that the heel would slip out of place if you landed a jump or turn improperly.  That's not the shoe's fault though.  A character heel would do the same thing.  This is a quality Capezio product that I would buy again.
