^ for the selling price, capezio is very good, comfy, and great quality. my ballet school uses capezio for daily lessons and repetto for shows because they look a bit more snazzy, so to speak. but i always have loved capezio because they are properly priced and durable. i wouldn't use them on anything other than wood floors, though... like, for walking outside? no way. they will get scotched at the bottom and the edges. actual ballet flats that are made for dancing can't be used to walk on the sidewalk or anything like that.
