CUSTOMERS SAY:
Capezio tap shoes vary in comfort and sound quality. Some struggle with narrowness, heel height, and durability. Mixed reviews on sound quality, width, and quality, but a durable option for casual use. (Based on customer reviews.)
Capezio's "Manhattan Xtreme" tap shoe features a soft and durable leather upper, full leather lining, foam cushioned footbed and a non-slip heel counter. The 2 1/2" heel is fully wrapped in leather and it's flared design provide a larger strike zone for increased stability. Superior TeleTone toe and heel taps sit on a spring steel soundboard that allow sound to resonate and reach its "Xtreme" sound potential. Scored rubber sole patch for traction and control.

    Do the heels of this shoe break in well?

    I've had a hard time with the capezio 1 1/2" heel footlight taps having a heel that digs into my achilles tendon so hard it makes me bleed. I've never been able to soften them enough so they don't hurt. Because of this I've been wearing Bloch character shoes ever since because the leather is more pliable, but neither Bloch nor So Danca have a tap shoe with a 2 1/2" heel. If the heel of this is soft enough not to dig and hurt my foot, I like these but if not I'd make due with So Danca's 2" heel taps.

    These shoes typically break in well after a week of solid wear. I own them, and have students who use them and none have had any major issues with them. They are a quality shoe.

    Does this shoe stretch a little bit?

    Since this shoe is made of leather, it will give a little bit over time.
