Capezio dancewear is designed for a close, movement-ready fit. Use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For leotards and other one-piece garments, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso.
Capezio Ladies Garments Size Chart
Compare bust, waist, hips and girth to find your recommended Capezio size. This Dance World guide covers XS–L.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 76–81 cm 30–32" | 55–61 cm 22–24" | 81–86 cm 32–34" | 137–142 cm 54–56" |
| S | 81–86 cm 32–34" | 61–66 cm 24–26" | 89–94 cm 35–37" | 144–150 cm 57–59" |
| M | 86–91 cm 34–36" | 66–71 cm 26–28" | 94–99 cm 37–39" | 150–155 cm 59–61" |

Capezio Children's Garments Size Chart
Capezio children's sizes run from Toddler through Extra Large. Clothing size is a useful starting point, but body measurements provide a more reliable guide for fitted dancewear.
| Capezio Size | US Size | Chest | Waist | Hips | Girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toddler T | 2–4 | 50.8–53.3 cm 20–21" | 48.3–50.8 cm 19–20" | 53.3–58.4 cm 21–23" | 88.9–96.5 cm 35–38" |
| Small S | 4–5 | 55.9–58.4 cm 22–23" | 50.8–53.3 cm 20–21" | 58.4–63.5 cm 23–25" | 99–106.7 cm 39–42" |
| Intermediate I | 6–6X | 61–63.5 cm 24–25" | 53.3–58.4 cm 21–23" | 63.5–68.6 cm 25–27" | 109.2–116.8 cm 43–46" |
| Medium M | 7–8 | 66–71.1 cm 26–28" | 58.4–63.5 cm 23–25" | 68.6–73.7 cm 27–29" | 119.4–127 cm 47–50" |
| Large L | 10–12 | 73.7–78.7 cm 29–31" | 66–71.1 cm 26–28" | 76.2–81.3 cm 30–32" | 127–134.6 cm 50–53" |
| Extra Large XL | 14–16 | 83.8–88.9 cm 33–35" | 76.2–81.3 cm 30–32" | 86.4–91.4 cm 34–36" | 134.6–142.2 cm 53–56" |
For Capezio leotards, girth is the key measurement when body measurements suggest different sizes. A dancer may have a smaller chest or waist but still need the next size because of torso length. For children's dancewear, use the US clothing size as a reference only and prioritise actual measurements.

Capezio produces ballet, jazz, tap, character, ballroom and studio footwear, and sizing can vary considerably between models. The shoe tables above are general international conversions rather than a model-specific Capezio fit chart. Always follow the Dance World Fit Advice on the individual shoe page, as that recommendation should take priority.
How to Measure for Capezio Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Girth
Key MeasurementStart at the high point of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder in one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close without pulling it tight. For Capezio leotards, girth is especially useful when choosing between two sizes.
Chest / Bust
Measure around the widest part of the chest or bust, keeping the tape straight and level around the body without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
Hips
Measure around the widest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is not part of Capezio's core bodywear chart, but it is useful when considering overall proportions and torso length.
Capezio bodywear is intended to sit close to the body while allowing unrestricted movement. For fitted leotards, use girth alongside bust, waist and hips rather than relying on a standard clothing size. Children's US size references are useful as a starting point only. Where an individual Capezio garment has its own fit note, use that product-specific advice alongside this chart.
E-Series Adult Leather Slip-On Jazz Shoes, Split Sole • EJ2
E-Series Adult Leather Slip-On Jazz Shoes, Split Sole • EJ2 - Caramel / 1 UK is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Best For: Jazz Classes • Musical Theatre • Commercial Dance • Rehearsals • Performances • Quick Costume Changes • Beginner to Advanced Dancers
Description
Description
A true studio classic, the Capezio E-Series EJ2 Adult Leather Slip-On Jazz Shoes combine a soft leather upper with an arch-hugging neoprene insert and flexible split sole. Their close, low-profile shape follows the foot cleanly through jazz technique, musical theatre, commercial choreography and everyday rehearsals.
The lace-free design makes EJ2 particularly convenient for quick changes, while its absorbent cotton lining, soft Achilles topline and foam-padded insole bring welcome comfort to longer classes. Suitable for beginner through advanced dancers, this is the dependable Capezio jazz shoe that has earned its place in studios around the world.
Capezio E-Series EJ2 Personality
Iconic • Streamlined • Dependable • Studio-Ready
EJ2 has the instantly recognisable look of a classic leather jazz shoe: low at the sides, clean across the arch and uninterrupted by laces. Black feels timeless and rehearsal-ready, while Tan and Caramel create a softer leg line for performance, costuming and skin-tone coordination.
Capezio E-Series EJ2 Leather Jazz Shoes – Design & Performance
The EJ2 begins with a soft yet durable leather upper that feels polished enough for performance while remaining practical for regular studio use. Leather gradually becomes more personal with wear, settling around the toes and forefoot for the close, connected fit dancers expect from a traditional jazz shoe.
Through the centre of the foot, a flexible neoprene arch insert stretches as the dancer points and flexes. This helps the shoe remain close beneath the arch instead of gathering or bunching, preserving a cleaner line while allowing the foot to articulate naturally.
The split-sole construction separates the forefoot and heel contact areas, leaving the middle of the shoe free to move. An EVA rubber sole patch provides dependable studio traction beneath the forefoot, while the low-profile heel keeps the dancer grounded and stable through travelling steps, weight changes and turns.
Inside, an absorbent cotton lining helps manage moisture, while the foam-padded insole softens contact beneath the foot. EJ2 is therefore not an ultra-bare jazz shoe: it retains clear floor awareness while offering more underfoot comfort than a completely unpadded construction.
Low sides keep the silhouette streamlined, and the soft topline sits gently around the Achilles. With no laces to adjust or come undone, EJ2 slips on quickly and stays visually neat throughout class, rehearsal and performance.

The Dance World Jazz Shoe DNA™ compares the defining studio characteristics of every jazz shoe. A higher score does not necessarily mean a better shoe—it shows the balance of comfort, flexibility, articulation, grip and floor feel so dancers can choose the construction that best suits their training and preferred studio feel.
Dance World Notes
Why EJ2 remains a studio classic: It brings together the polished appearance of leather, the convenience of a slip-on and the flexibility of a stretch arch. It is uncomplicated, dependable and versatile enough to take a dancer from a weekly jazz class into rehearsals and performance.
A cleaner arch without aggressive shaping: The neoprene insert stretches beneath the arch as the foot points, helping prevent the loose folds sometimes seen in an all-leather middle section. The shoe follows the dancer’s own line rather than trying to manufacture one.
Comfort without losing the floor: The foam-padded insole takes the edge off repeated studio contact, but the low-profile split sole still allows clear awareness of weight placement and floor pressure.
The surface makes a difference: EVA rubber provides dependable traction, though it can feel grippier than suede on certain Marley floors. Dancers accustomed to a very free-turning suede sole may notice a more controlled, grounded sensation.
Dance World Tip – Fit the heel before the leather relaxes. The upper will gradually settle with wear, so begin with a secure heel and a neat fit through the forefoot. A new pair that already slips or bags is unlikely to become more secure over time.
Capezio E-Series EJ2 Dance World Fit Advice
Close through the foot. Secure at the heel.
The E-Series EJ2 is designed to sit closely around the foot, with its flexible neoprene insert adapting smoothly through the arch. We generally recommend true to measured foot size through to ½ size up for adults, depending on foot shape and preferred fit.
The toes should lie naturally and lightly meet the front without curling or restriction. The heel must remain securely held during walking, pointing, rises and turns, with no noticeable slipping or excess leather at the back.
For younger dancers, approximately ½ to 1 full size up can allow for practical growth, provided the heel remains secure and the shoe stays neat through the toes and arch.
Dance World Fit Note: Always start from the dancer’s measured foot, not the size of their everyday shoes. The stretch arch can adapt around different instep heights, but the low sides mean heel security is especially important. Dance World displays converted UK sizing, so the size printed inside the shoe may differ from the size ordered.
