CapezioGirls Downtown Tap Shoe

Perfect Tap Shoe for Young Dancers Who Want to Be Heard!

We recently purchased the Capezio Downtown Tap Shoe for our child, and it’s been an absolute hit—both at home and in the studio! One of the standout features is how responsive the taps are. Even with a light step, the shoes produce a clear, crisp sound, which has been incredibly encouraging for our little dancer who's still building confidence. She loves that she can “really hear” her steps, and it makes practice more exciting and fun. The fit is secure and comfortable, thanks to the padded collar and quality construction. We went with her regular size and it fit well, with just enough room for growing feet. The design also feels supportive without being stiff, which is important for young kids who are still developing proper technique. Style-wise, the Downtown Tap Shoe has a sleek, polished look that works great for class and performances. We chose the black patent option and it looks beautiful under stage lights. Overall, I’d highly recommend this tap shoe to parents looking for something that’s durable, comfortable, and makes a great sound with minimal effort. It’s a great confidence-booster for beginner tappers, and we’ll definitely be sticking with Capezio!
