Collection: CAPEZIO

Capezio was founded by Salvatore Capezio who was born in 1871 in Italy. Salvatore trained as a cobbler in Italy and later immigrated to the United States where he, at just 17 years old, opened a small shoe repair show not far from New York’s old Metropolitan Opera House where he began repairing and making shoes for the Met. The world’s leading ballerina, Anna Pavlova, purchased Capezio pointe shoes for herself and her entire company during her first tour of the United States. Her generous praise of Salvatore’s work ensured Capezio’s success

Capezio is the name that continues to make the world dance. With over 130 years of quality craftsmanship, dedicated customer service and timeless design, Capezio is the brand of choice for athletes and performers across the globe.
