Capezio Jazz sneakers are some of the most popular brands of Capezio. This type of shoe is designed for jazz dancers but at times used by rock ‘n’ roll performers.
Jazz is a type of dance believed to have originated from the African slaves of the 1800 century. They danced in ships as they were carried on sea towards the Americas. This was a form of exercise as they were on sea for long periods of time.
This dance later evolved and was accepted as a modern type of dance and is now taken up professionally by many throughout the world.
Jazz sneakers are found to be lightweight and very flexible. Though leather is by far the most popular material used to make these shoes, it is possible to find capezio jazz sneakers made from PVC and canvas.
Flexibility is a feature that is essential since jazz dance is characterized by numerous feet lifts and twirls. This shoe is closely similar to the soft ballet shoe only that the latter has a shape that allows dancers to stand on toes.
Capezio Jazz Sneakers come in different shapes, sizes, shades and designs. Some have full soles while others have split soles. This gives the foot more freedom of movement and prevents foot injuries that would otherwise occur while using less flexible shoes.
Amongst the most popular Capezio Jazz Sneakers include:
Jazz Mix-Lo – Adult: This sneaker is made of full grain leather with power span inserts. Its soft elastic topline allows foot flexibility and easier movement. There is a padded insole for Achilles comfort and the socklining and heel are both non slip. It is quite popular and very affordable as it sells for only $35.
Children’s V Jazz Slip-on Boot: This low slip-on split sneaker is great for kids as it’s constructed of supple leather and very comfortable to kids’ soft feet.
