Salvatore Capezio, the founder of Capezio, was born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy. Although he had the option to follow in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer, he chose to become a cobbler and pursue his passion for shoemaking. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th street in New York City, which quickly became a popular meeting place for dancers who would visit to discuss their needs and purchase his shoes. Dancers from all over the world flocked to Capezio's shop to buy his innovative and high-quality products.

The connection and relationship between Salvatore Capezio and the dancers who frequented his shop shaped the future direction of his company. The Capezio brand was established to support and celebrate dancers' achievements and involvement in dance. Capezio continues to lead the industry in terms of quality and technological advancements, introducing innovations such as the split-sole, stretch-insert, Dansneaker, and Tapsneaker.

Capezio believes that their success is dependent on the individual commitment of each customer to continuously push boundaries in terms of creativity and performance. They also prioritize maintaining a reputation for dependability and distinction. Capezio is dedicated to supporting and promoting dance, theater, and recreation in communities worldwide.

The shoe's microfiber lining is designed to absorb moisture, keeping your feet dry.
