Dance Sneakers – Comfort And Practicality From Capezio
Capezio is a name brand manufacturer of dance shoes, apparel, and accessories for beginning and professional dancers who require quality materials and competitive prices. Their durable product line has supplied all types of dancers for more than 100 years, and the pride they take in serving their customers makes them a popular choice for merchandise.
The Capezio name has been synonymous with quality craftsmanship since 1887, when a young Salvatore Capezio opened a cobbler shop in New York City across from the Metropolitan Opera House. Soon he was repairing pairs of shoes for performers from this arts centre, and his skills as a shoemaker became well known among many important dancers of the period.
Today, contemporary dance styles have challenged the company to design modern shoes for modern artists who demand innovative footwear. Capezio dance sneakers, sometimes called dansneakers, are one type of dance shoe that appeals to new music styles like salsa, meringue, and hip hop. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular styles Capezio makes.
One of the original Capezio dance sneakers, the Dansneaker, is a three quarter cut leather sneaker with a polyurethane sole that is light enough to allow dancers to spin and turn on most surfaces. These shoes have a padded collar and tongue as well as a box toe for added support. The EVA moulded split insole gives ample stability. This shoe also comes in a low-cut version.
The company’s Spirit shoe has the same split sole construction, but the uppers are made from canvas to better resemble the urban style of street shoes. It also has interchangeable foot beds, one foam and one called Insta-Shank for the additional full-sole support of a traditional Dansneaker. The print cotton lining is a fashionable Hawaiian print. If you ever envisioned a Converse-type dance sneaker, this is it.
The Web shoe is a stylish sneaker that has a PU sole with flex points for flexibility and air vents to allow air flow for the feet. The shoe’s mesh upper is patterned with a hot pink color tape that creates an interesting design. The shoe has poly laces, a matching pull-tab at the heel, and is also available in a patent leather upper.
There is also an alternate line of Capezio dance sneakers for urban style dancers called Frontline that takes a more fashion-conscious approach to dancewear. The BFree Elite high-top boots are a good example of this style, with its suede overlay stitching and embroidered logo over full grain leather upper with poly cotton laces.
These shoes are designed for a specific look, not necessarily for the ultra support required by formal dancers. Their outsoles and uppers utilize lighter mesh, suede, canvas, and nylon accents that add a touch of class to a group of dancers. The Frontline brand has low-cut models like the Kush and the all-canvas DLite with flat rubber soles that can double as stylish casual shoes. Whatever your style of dance or taste, Capezio dance sneakers could help you to perform in comfort.
