Pirouette like a professional dancer with our Leather Pirouette II. This shoe offers the best of both worlds with its half sole design. The sturdy leather in the front provides support, while the open heel allows for breathability. The elastics around the sides and under the arch of the foot ensure stability during continuous spinning. The exclusive Capezio logo on the ballet-style sole patch adds a special touch.

Salvatore Capezio, born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy, had different aspirations than following in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer. Instead, he decided to become a cobbler and an artist in his own right. At the age of 17, in 1887, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, which was conveniently located across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Word quickly spread, and dancers started visiting his shop to discuss their needs and purchase his shoes. Dancers from all over the world made it a priority to visit Capezio due to his growing popularity.

The connection that Salvatore Capezio had with dancers and his innovative shoe designs shaped the future of his company. The brand Capezio was established to promote and acknowledge the achievements and involvement of dancers. Capezio products continue to lead in terms of quality and technological advancements, with innovations such as the split-sole, stretch-inserts, Dansneakers, and Tapsneakers.

Capezio believes that their success hinges on the dedication of each customer to constantly set new standards in creativity and performance, while maintaining a reputation for reliability and excellence. They are committed to supporting and advancing dance, theater, and recreation in communities around the world.
