Canvas Ballet Shoe for Women

Salvatore Capezio, born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy, was not inclined to follow his father's path as a construction engineer. Instead, he pursued his passion as a cobbler. At the young age of 17, in 1887, he established his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, situated diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. His shop quickly became a hub for dancers seeking custom-made shoes. Dancers from various corners of the globe frequented his shop to engage in discussions about their requirements and to acquire his renowned footwear.

The reputation of Salvatore Capezio and the exceptional quality of his products laid the foundation for his company's future. The Capezio brand was conceived to celebrate and acknowledge the continuous accomplishments and involvement in the realm of dance. Capezio's commitment to excellence and innovation is evident in their pioneering products such as the split-sole, stretch-insert, Dansneaker, and Tapsneaker. They firmly believe that their prosperity hinges on each customer's dedication to setting new benchmarks in creativity and performance, all while upholding a tradition of reliability and distinction.

Capezio's dedication extends beyond their products to supporting and fostering the advancement of dance, theater, and recreational activities in communities worldwide. The Juliet ballet shoe by Capezio exemplifies their dedication to providing dancers with a breathable and comfortable experience. This canvas ballet slipper, designed to begin one size up from the street shoe size, boasts a split-sole with a patented diamond gusset that creates a seamless, sculpted arch. The shoe features contoured chrome tanned suede sole patches, a polyester and cotton lining, hammered pleats for smooth floor contact, and precision trimmed forefoot padding for a flat shoe. Additionally, it comes with a bar-tacked elastic drawstring and pre-attached criss-cross elastics for added convenience.
