Capezio Stretch Footed Ballet 8 10 Reviews Summary

Material Quality

Pros:

• "They are much nicer material than other 'store-brand' tights we have bought."
• "These hold up so much better than the Capezio Studio Basics line of tights."
• "They are really good quality so given that there is room to grow I am pleased with the purchase."
• "Good quality tight. Seems thicker than some other brands I bought from the stores."
• "They are very sturdy construction."
• "Good material that is thick enough not to get runs or tears."
• "These tights are REALLY thick and will hold up great."

Cons:

• "NOT a good product. I have seasoned dancer. This is a very poor quality tight, sadly. Snagged after 3 days, second one snagged after 1 week."
• "minor marks and dirt are impossible to remove from this fabric, it's prone to runs and my daughter gets no more than 2 or 3 wears out of them before they break holes in the knee area."
• "The material also was not as soft or stretchy as other brands of dance tights that we prefer."
• "These look like they have runs starting, but it’s just that it’s poorly woven."
• "The material is also not as soft as other brands."
• "They are very thin and wont be able to be used for very long without ripping."
• "feels scratchy and cheap and not at all like the other capezio tights we have."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "They fit perfectly and had no bunching or baggy areas."
• "They are perfect for my 5 year old ballerina! I ordered the intermediate small/med & they fit her perfectly with room to grow."
• "These tights fit well with no sagging at the ankles and wrinkling at the thighs."
• "Fits my 35 lb five year old perfectly."
• "They fit as I expected, but only because I have ordered them before. The size 8-10 is great for my tall and skinny 7 year old."
• "These fit well but because they can stretch, also leave a good bit of room to grow."
• "The waistband is not too tight and does not cut into her stomach at all."

Cons:

• "These ones ran a little small."
• "The band it really tight and it was quite an effort to put on my 40 pound daughter."
• "These leave absolutely no extra room and are so tight on her, she could barely breathe."
• "The size chart is off by at least a size."
• "They hardly stretch at all and they squeeze her tightly around the waist."
• "The tag in the back of these tights drove my 3.5 year old insane."
• "Only issue is they’re not particularly comfortable."

Durability

Pros:

• "Perfect stockings for my daughter's first year of dancing at 2 years old... never managed to put a run in them."
• "These have held up really well even with repeated washings."
• "They have held up without a run or a snag for the past 6 months!"
• "These have held up really well over 12+ months of dance lessons and a recital."
• "One pair has lasted us 6 months of practices once a week and still hasn't torn!"
• "These have lasted through 3 shows and all the rehearsals... no rips, tears, runs."
• "We wash them every week, and they have lasted about 5 months. No runs or tears or holes."

Cons:

• "I purchased a few of these and they ripped within the first use."
• "These ripped the very first time my daughter tried them on; they are not high quality."
• "They now have a huge hole in the crotch and on the side."
• "Her leg barely brushed against the car door getting in on the way to dance and the material ripped on the first time wearing it."
• "She wore them 4 times and then they ripped."
• "Nice fit and they look nice. However they popped a run the first time they were worn so they are not durable tights."
• "this style of tight by Capezio is downright poor quality."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Obviously a well known dance brand and a great price."
• "Found these for $5.25. You’d be crazy to pass on these."
• "Best tights we have ever gotten and well worth the few extra dollars."
• "I originally had sticker shock when I order these for my daughters dance recital, they were worth every penny. You get what you pay for, the quality is great."
• "We buy these for dance recital every year, half the cost of purchasing from our dance school."
• "Capezio tights never disappoint. They are great quality and last!"
• "After three years of ballet, I refuse to buy any other tights besides Capezio. They are sturdy and durable."

Cons:

• "I guess we're going to try the cheap ones from Target or Walmart, if we're not getting a durable product anyway :("
• "I got her a 3-pack of tights from target for $5 and she was comfortable in them so I definitely think these are overpriced."
• "These are so not worth the money."
• "For the price of them, I would expect them to be more durable and be able to be used more than once."
• "They are very thin and wont be able to be used for very long without ripping."
• "I ordered a 3-pack, but received a single pair."
• "Very disappointing!!!!"
