Capezio shoe size charts
Capezio dance shoes run on US sizing, so the fastest way to get it right is to convert from your usual US size rather than your Australian street shoe size. Contact our team at customerservice@dancedirect.com.au or call +61 2 9349 7713 if you need help. For Capezio clothing and hosiery sizing, visit the Capezio clothing size guides and Capezio hosiery size guides.

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.
