Salvatore Capezio, born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy, became an artist of his own right, a cobbler, instead of following in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer. In 1887, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Soon, the shop became a meeting place for dancers who would stop by to discuss their needs and to get a pair of his shoes. Dancers from around the world made it a point to visit him and purchase his shoes as Capezio's popularity grew.

The innovation of the products that Salvatore Capezio created and the camaraderie he shared with the dancers molded the direction that his company would follow. The Capezio brand was established to promote and recognize ongoing achievements and participation in dance. Capezio products remain at the forefront in quality and technological advances, with innovations like the split-sole, stretch-insert, Dansneaker, and Tapsneaker.

Capezio believes that their success is dependent upon the individual commitment of each customer to continually set new standards of creativity and performance, while preserving a reputation for dependability and distinction. Capezio pledges their support and dedication to the advancement of dance, theater, and recreation in communities worldwide. Moisture absorbent microfiber lining is also included in the product details.
