Sizes: Adult 5.5 to 11, Medium width. Women begin with their street shoe size.
Fabric: Brazilian leather upper with suede sole
Care: Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Store in a dry place, avoid excessive moisture.
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.

Tap plates are sized separately from the shoe itself, and the fit varies by style, so match the shoe style you're buying to its own row below rather than assuming one tap size covers the whole range. N, M and W stand for narrow, medium and wide.
