I recently purchased Capezio E series jazz shoes. This is my first pair of jazz shoes so I wasn't sure about sizing. After doing some online research, I decided to get one half size larger than my regular size. There is a small amount of space in the toe area which is just about the right amount. They felt funny the first time I wore them but the second time they felt fine. I bought the ones with laces so I could adjust the width. The leather is very soft and will stretch to conform to your feet. My feet are average width so I don't know if these shoes would stretch enough for a really wide foot. I am able to wear a thin sock or nylons with these shoes. For me, buying shoes online is risky and I've had to return many pairs. But these jazz shoes are good and I will be keeping them.
