Customer Reviews Capezio Cobra (Ballet)

Cobra Ballet - These shoes were true to size, and fit my high arches as well as any leather ones I have had. It was also time-saving to have the elastics sewn on one side.

Great! After ordering a million pairs of ballet shoes, I finally found the right style and fit. I wear an 11 M or W, and I thought the 11s in these were a bit too long, so I went with the 10.5. Didn't feel much difference between the M and W. I wear these just around the house and for exercising. I also bought a pair in white for my wedding. They aren't really made to go outside, but if you feel the need to do so, try putting a cushioned insert in the shoe (I use Dr. Scholl's cushioned arch support). Zappos customer service and FREE!! Overnight shipping policies are phenomenal as usual.

Oh the Comfort! These shoes are wonderful. The moment I put them on, they hugged my feet and felt closer to a sturdy sock than a shoe. This is the first canvas ballet shoe I've tried, having only ever used leather ones. The cut flatters the foot, and the extra padding at the ball and heel soles contribute to the comfiness. The quality is also good. The ankle straps come attached at the sides, but not to each other so I had to sew them together. I didn't mind because I was able to make the strap continue over the top of the foot and around the ankles as well (like a figure 8). I'm using these as house slippers and yoga shoes so got them in my normal shoe size, which works perfectly for my purposes.

Great Ballet Shoe - This ballet shoe is a great fit with a great look; it gives the foot a nice line when in point. I did have a slight problem with the heel slipping so when you sew the foot straps and tie make sure they are tight.

Loved these - These are the first ballet shoes I have ever had. I bought these for the purpose of Yoga and Pilates, and I very pleased with these.

Comfortable, stylish and excellent quality shoe. I ordered it in 8.5 and 9 in different colors to try the fit (normally wear 8.5 shoes) and both felt very similar.

Wonderful Shoes - I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. She said they are so comfortable and they fit perfectly. When I got them I was a little unsure because the straps are not together but after I sewed them up they look great. I definitely recommend this shoe!

I bought these for a cocktail party. Based on other reviews, I got a half size larger and they fit just fine. They're not that comfortable to stand in for long periods, but they were way better than heels.

These are a pair of cute ballet flats. I wouldn't recommend walking with them for a long period, but it's great for a light walk outside. Definitely order a half size up, because these flats run on the small side.

Sizing is a bit tricky - I had a little trouble getting the right size for this slipper; I started with an 11M (I normally wear between a 10 and 11 medium to wide, depending on the cut of the shoe), and ended up having to go to a 12W to avoid the top of the slipper cutting into my instep and the feeling that my toe was about to poke a hole in the end. But I couldn't be happier, especially with the service from Zappos: when I called at 11:30pm ET to arrange an exchange, my call was answered immediately, and then the replacement pair was processed immediately so that they arrived less than 48 hours after the phone call.

Capezio's Ballet shoe- I love this shoe. I bought it for Pilates and yoga and it is perfect. Gives just enough support opposed to bare feet. It is very comfortable. I bought it a 1/2 size larger and it fits great, also can be adjusted.

Great Shoe - I've tried many different ballet shoes over the years, and this is one of the best. They do feel a little smaller than the size, but canvas shoes do tend to stretch a little. Overall, I definitely recommend the shoe.

I really feel like I wasted my money on these shoes. While I appreciate Capezio for experimenting in making a shoe as light as possible, it seems they took it too far. While they made an extremely light shoe, it also turned out to be unbelievable fragile. I bought these because they looked like excellent canvas shoes. I loved the idea of the foam inserts underneath the soles. However, after only one class, the liner started to become unglued. Since the liner is completely fabric, it began to bunch up and this made the shoes very uncomfortable to dance in. The material they chose to use is also unforgivably flimsy. These already started to tear apart on me after only one class. I've had canvas shoes that can go for a few months before needing to be repaired, but at the rate that these were starting to come apart, they barely made it a few classes. I would never recommend these to anyone who practices daily as they'll be having to replace their shoes more often than they ever should.

This was not a comfortable slipper; it ended up in the trash after 1 week. The sole bunched up (wierd!) and I had to even it out with a hammer. Still, that didn't help too much. Felt too small in length as well. I went back to a leather Capezio.

Lovely comfortable shoe, delivered very quickly. I absolutely recommend Zappos to all of my friends!

Love these very simple shoes. I purchased these as a shoe for my wedding reception. They are very simple. No frills. Just canvas. Perfect. I also teach pilates and will be wearing these in all of my classes in place of going barefoot. If nothing else, it's like being barefoot but having clean feet. I wear a 10 in sneakers, heels and flipflops. I ordered a 10.5 and they were perfect.

My son has been wearing these shoes for years. Hes close to outgrowing the women's sizes...and then what will we do?! He has a narrow foot, and this shoe hugs the heel perfectly. Under the arch, there's also elastic, so the foot is presented nicely. I'd recommend these shoes to any ballet dancer interested in taking their dance to a higher level. Split soles are the only way to go!

Exactly what I expected - These are true to size, I ordered an 8.5 - my usual shoe size and they fit nicely. The elastics are attached and I was off and dancing in no time! The cut fits my foot nice too - no bagging.

Wonderful shoes. Look great on the feet. Perfect, faster than fast service--as usual!

Awesome shoe and super cute!! These shoes are SUPER CUTE!! Everyone in my ballet class loved them. I did 2 you should really get these shoes!!
