Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our dancewear and gear
How do I determine my correct pointe shoe size?
Pointe shoes should be professionally fitted. We recommend visiting a local Capezio flagship or authorized retailer, as dance shoe sizing often differs significantly from street shoe sizing.
Are your leotards machine washable?
Most of our performance fabrics are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. However, we recommend hanging them to dry to preserve the elasticity and longevity of the garment.
Do you offer bulk discounts for dance studios?
Yes, we have a dedicated program for teachers and studio owners. Please apply through our 'Capezio for Professionals' portal to access tiered volume pricing.
How should I care for my leather dance shoes?
Wipe leather shoes with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh detergents. For suede soles, use a shoe brush to restore the nap and maintain proper traction.
What is the difference between transition and footed tights?
Transition tights feature a reinforced opening on the bottom of the foot, allowing the dancer to easily switch between footed and footless styles for quick costume changes or toe care.
Can I return customized or dyed shoes?
Customized items, including shoes dyed to match specific costumes, are considered final sale and are not eligible for returns or exchanges.
