I USED to dance! I wear a size 7 but ordered a size 8. Think they run a tiny bit large...
This shoe would be a GREAT PRACTICE SHOE!

A pretty beginner shoe. I have Capezio Hanami's now and there is a huge difference. The Juliet's are quite bulky, and don't show off your arch as much. The drawstring is also a hassle and not comfortable.

I was originally going to get the (Hanami) Capezio shoes but they were out of stock so I got these. These shoes are very good and they are very comfortable! I did have to re-sew the elastics because they put them way to far forward and it gave no support and looked ridiculous. But if you do not mind sewing then they are great! Also size up half a size I wear a 7 in street shoes and I ordered the size I had in my last pair of So Danca shoes which was 6.5 and I did not listen to the size chart and comments I could not even get them on so I sent them back and got a 7.5 and they fit perfectly so definitely size up at least half a size from your street shoe size!

Runs a little tight around the metatarsals. If you have a high instep or higher profile foot so size up more than you might normally. (8 medium width in street shoes, I wear a 9M in this style) Good quality, would purchase again.

I never know with dance shoes weather I am going to like them or hate them. Stores never have my size or the brand and style I am looking for. I'm 5'4" street size 7 and the narrows are tooooooo narrow. While the wides are way to wide. Although the mediums don't fit just right I love that they can be adjusted with the ballet ties. Capezio Juliet Canvas shoes do run small. I am a street size 7-7.5 so I got an 8. Yes size up, but I wouldn't go more than a 1/2 size different. If I would have gone to an 8.5 they would have been way to big!
The split sole is perfect for turns and gives me great action. The comfortableness is okay. And the feel and look is almost to par. They are a little bulchy if you have narrow feet and have to adjust the ties.
Would reccomened capezio to anyone

I purchased this shoe and was very displeased to find that it had been pre-sewn. I do not like ballet shoes that aren't perfectly fit to my feet. I adjusted this by cutting the elastics and fixing them to my liking.
The first time I wore them they were quite painfully tight that I had to switch shoes half way through class. However the second class, I decided to wear them again and they had become stretched to the right size and fit perfectly. They make my feet look beautiful and fit like a glove.

Overall, I love the Juliet-style ballet shoes. They are a very pretty light pink, and the construction is great. As a first time dancewear purchaser, I have little knowledge of brands and products in the dance world (I was a gymnast for 8 1/2 years), and after completing quite a bit of research, made the decision to get these for my one day a week ballet class. I was careful to read the reviews before buying however, and am very glad I took the time to do so; if I had purchased even a half size smaller, the shoes would have been too small. Order at least a full size larger than your street shoe size, possibly even 1.5 sizes larger. DDS had the shipment out the next day, and it arrived smoothly in three days. My first impressions were great, and after dancing in these shoes for about eight hours in total, I can say that I am very happy with Capezio. Other than getting dirty easily and a small lump in the heel sole on one shoe (barely noticeable), I am loving these shoes. No middle seam, stretches comfortably, and the elastics come pre-sewn! Awesome for a beginning dancer! They hug your feet and enhance your arch shape, creating a great dancing experience. Would definitely recommend.

Why is it so difficult to order dance shoes? I feel like I need to take a class to decipher the sizing charts. Can't a 3 be a 3, etc? Frustrating. Sending these shoes back. Nice shoe, but runs very small. My daughter is aged 10 and wears a size 4. Ordered 1 size up...a 5. She can't even get her foot in the shoe. Trying again...

These shoes are pretty good. As other reviewers have said, the shoes run a bit small so I ordered mine .5 a size larger than normal (I am an 8 so I bought 8.5). I tried them on and were super comfy. During ballet class, my toes were being squished together and hopefully the shoes will stretch out and mold to my feet. I'm also going to say that when they arrived, some seams were already falling out. The color is a really light pink. I'll definitely order these again but next time I am getting size 8.5 wide.

We have tried every slipper that DD sells, and a few others from stores. This one is my dd's favorite from all the 20+ so types that we've tried over the last 7 years. Holds up far better than Sansha's, doesn't have that painful seem on the heel cushion that Sansha's have, and just a great shoe all around.

My 17 yo daughter (advanced in her expertise) recommended these. She loves how they snug her foot and arch and enhance technique. The fit true to size but are like a second skin. They stretch out ever so slightly, but if you do not like a snug snug snug fit, either order a wide or a .5 size up. But only because I am a beginner and think I need the extra room as I learn. Then I'm going back to my true shoe size.

This shoe is extremely comfortable, but it runs a bit large. So, if you are an "almost 7", order a 6. However, if you are a true 7 or 7.25, order the 7.

Theyre really comfortable and durable. The color is the same as most pink tights and it makes really pretty lines. These do come pre sewn so thats good. My street sice is usually a 7.5 and i ordered a 7.5M and it fit okay, it was a little tight around the toes but it will stretch and mold to your feet as you break them in. So I recomend ordering a half size up.

I ordered this item at 1/2 size larger than my street shoe size and it was significantly tight and crunched my toes. I feel I may need to order a full size up from street shoe size, instead of the recommended 1/2 size up. Other than that, the shoes seem to be decently constructed. Will be returning for larger size.

Finally found a pair of shoes that aren't bulky and bunch-y. I have very small and narrow feet, wear a size 4 street shoe, and size 2.5 is perfect. The inner lining is kind of unusual; it's velvety and got padding on the heel and ball, which is super comfortable (though gets worn away over time). My first pair lasted me about 1 year dancing on average twice a week, but my second pair got ripped apart really quickly. I blame switching to a new studio with hardwood floor and needing rosin; don't think this would happen on marley.

There are many things I love about these shoes. For starters, they make your arch look AMAZING. I have a pretty low arch, and my previous ballet shoes were a little baggy, which just made it look like I wasn't pointing my foot at all. But then I got these, and suddenly, hello gorgeous feet!
They're also very comfortable, and fit like a second skin. Plus, you can turn so well in them! I had been struggling for so long to get my double pirouette, and I was so close, but I just couldn't quite finish the second turn. But with these shoes, I can do a double easily, because there's less friction, and it just fits perfectly.
These shoes would be perfect if not for one problem: they get holes very easily. I'd only worn them for a few classes when I noticed a rip on the bottom of my shoes, along the seam. I know other dancers at my studio have had the same problem. Overall, I would definitely recommend them, but keep in mind they don't last all that long.
One tiny thing, though... why does discount dance have the wide version only available in size four? It really bugs me, because I wear a size 9.5 wide, and I have to get my shoes elsewhere.

I ordered these last week and they came about three days ago. I wasnt sure what to expect because this is my first time wearing canvas ballet shoes. Ive been dancing in leather for about 8 years and i decided that I should give canvas a try. I totally LUV them!!! They run small so I'd recommend that you should order at least 1 size up. I really like how one side of each elastic is already sewn in. (My father sewed the rest in today, because I dont trust my mother with my ballet shoes LOL#. Theyre really soft on the inside and they make your arch look AMAZING!!! #especially when you pointe)

Well I first ordered a size too big for my fit because I followed the street shoes size and compared to the actual dance shoe size and I got a size WAY TOO BIG! I was so angry so I exchanged for 2 sizes smaller and they were a little big, but I made them work, but what made me angry was I wasted lots of money on shipping so not worth it. But otherwise I do like the shoes they are comfortable, but the color is a little bit lighter than a normal ballet slipper.

I have these shoes and I love them! They are comfortable and look good. I've gotten other canvas shoes and they have been lumpy, but these fit perfectly! They last pretty good, but if you dance hard in them, the soles can come unstitched and you can get holes in the toes. Other than that, they are perfect!

Virginia,
I wore leather Capezios for eight years and switched to canvas the past two. I tie the elastic in a knot and twist it so it rests at my arches. It feels ABSOLUTELY fabulous on my feet, a mixture of the comfiest shoes and snuggliest socks. :)
Only problem is they get black FAST, this year the inner pad of the shoe ripped off on one, but I've been dancing all year and needed to replace them. Don't expect them to stay clean for your recital. However, expect to love them in the studio. :D

I have square feet, but not abnormally so, and these were WAY too narrow for me. They fit funny and I only wore them a few times. When a friend saw them, she said "oh if I'd have known you were getting those I'd have told you not to." They're soft on the inside, but what's the point if they don't fit my feet???

I don't own this brand (I have another brand, called Russian pointe) but canvas works waaaay better than leather. With leather, you stick on the floor (but they're only good for recital at my studio). But with canvas, it makes you go faster with turns and spins and it helps you point better. These are a must buy if you are an intermediate or advanced dancer.

Overall this shoe is OK. But when you're on demi pointe, the arch sags a lot. I'm going back to Sansha.

I have only had one pair of Capezios before these and they were nice and comfy. I gave these a try: bad choice! Too narrow, creates an ugly pointe, and the sides slip down. The only nice thing about these are the soft inside. Get Sansha S1C instead!

Sacramento Ca,
Everyone! This is a canvas shoe, they get holes! Just like all canvas, let's move on! They last me about 4 months, dancing two days a week. They have the softest inside of any shoe out there! It looks awesome pointed and the straps are already sewn on one side for you! These come in other colors but most places don't carry them. Anyway, these shoes rock. I buy them all the time! You can really feel the floor and I think they are the most comfortable for practice! I would definitely recommend to everyone.

I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are so extremely comfortable and so soft, and I found it so easy to sew the elastics on these shoes. The only complaint I have is personal, and it is that if I had a blister on the sides of my feet, these shoes did rub and irritate the area. However, these shoes are extremely comfortable. I wear them in class, at play practice, and at competitions. I really recommend these shoes.

I love these shoes! I have been dancing for 8 years now and I love that there are no center seams.

I love these shoes because they are so comfortable. A lot of canvas shoes are kind of wide and I don't have wide feet, so these look great.
