A fellow dance teacher recommended this place. She got her first ballet shoes at Capezio when she was little and now gets most of her daughters dance shoes/leotards there.
At first I thought the store was a little small but they seem to have a lot of stock especially in dance wear. I think all the staff there are dancers, (expect for maybe the owner who still knows a lot about the business) and I actually found them very helpful and knowledgeable about the shoes. They encouraged me to try my dance sneakers out on their little dance floor and told me about their own experience with the style.
Also, the employees don't try to push you into getting something you don't need so I felt very comfortable in the store.
The prices aren't quite as good as they are online, but at least you don't have to pay the extra shipping charge. Plus, it is great to be able to try on different models and know exactly what you are getting.
The mall itself is a little barren although I saw a lot of construction for new stores/restaurants. Overall, I think Capezio is a good little store! I'll be back.
Pros: sweet staff who know what they are talking about, lots of childrens and adults dancewear, close to 280 Freeway
Cons: small store
