Salvatore Capezio was born in 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy, and instead of following in his father's footsteps as a construction engineer, he pursued his passion for craftsmanship as a cobbler. At the young age of 17 in 1887, Capezio opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street in New York City, right across from the old Metropolitan Opera House. His shop soon became a hub for dancers seeking high-quality shoes, and his reputation attracted dancers from all corners of the world.

The innovation and dedication of Salvatore Capezio, combined with his close relationships with dancers, set the course for his company’s future. The Capezio brand was established to honor and support the accomplishments and involvement of dancers. Capezio products continue to lead the industry in quality and technology, with advancements like split-soles, stretch-inserts, Dansneakers, and Tapsneakers.

Capezio believes that their success hinges on the commitment of each customer to push the boundaries of creativity and performance while maintaining a reputation for reliability and excellence. They are devoted to promoting and advancing dance, theater, and recreation in communities worldwide.
