I was so sad when Capezio no longer made these in the US so I was forced to outsource. I use these exclusively for musical theatre and these are by far my favorite character shoes (even more so than LaDucas). The bottom of the heel is smooth so I replace that with a rubber version but if you don't it isn't that big of a deal. Sizing: I wear a size Woman's 8US | 6UK | 39EUR in Converse Chuck Taylors. Size 8.5 in these shoes is perfect. Not too tight in length. They will break in. You could get away with size 8 but I prefer the 8.5. Shipping: Order was placed Nov 13, shipped Nov 15, out of customs in Los Angeles Nov 25, and finally arrived Dec 8 to South Carolina. Give yourself enough time to get these if you need them for a show. Will purchase again if I need another pair. I'm telling all my musical theatre friends about them.

I started dancing salsa and bachata this past February. I currently dance 4 or 5 days a week and I absolutely love dancing in these shoes!!! They are very comfortable and the heel is perfect for a beginner like myself. I also like the close fit of the shoe which benefits spinning.

These are great. They move well with your feet and they provide a good amount of support. I would recommend them for period plays where you have a lot of dancing to do. I'm working on Chicago right now and they are perfect. They also look really sharp on your feet! I'm a street size 7 and I ordered a 6.5, which is perfect.

The Broadway Flex, I don't understand why it's not available in the USA anymore? This is a very comfortable shoe, form fitting, nice and flexible and is a very attractive shoe.
