Hello! I am a dancer of 15 years and I am doing a school project on pointe shoe wear. I was wondering how long your capezio pointe shoes lasted and how often you wore them. Thanks so much!

    See your question re: Bloch for the full answer.

    Depends upon the style, again, but I had a pair of Capezio Glisses and they’re still ok for performances. They’re ‘dead’ for classroom work, but I wouldn’t think twice about wearing them for a show. I’ve probably had them for 4 or 5 years (though I nearly never wore them).

    My experience with Capezio is that they make decent pointe shoes for beginners, but professionals and strong students are better in another brand of shoe. Artemis
