Capezio 550 Jr. Footlight Character Shoe with 1.5" Heel
Whether you’re stepping into your first musical theatre audition, participating in a chorus or show choir, or taking a character dance class at a ballet intensive, the Capezio 550 Jr. Footlight™ is the gold standard. Designed for stability and a classic silhouette, this character shoe features a classic 1.5" leather-wrapped heel—the perfect height for junior performers or those who prefer a lower, more grounded center of gravity. The Jr. Footlight features a soft moisture-wicking microfiber lining, while a foam-padded footbed ensures extra comfort. A slim buckle closure creates a secure fit and eliminates the worry of the character shoe slipping off during intense performances.
- Supple yet durable 1mm PU synthetic leather upper looks professional on stage but is easy to clean and maintain
- Padded insole includes a built-in "arch cookie"—an extra bit of foam support that prevents foot fatigue during long rehearsals
- Achilles-friendly design, featuring a specialized Achilles notch in the heel counter, which releases pressure on the back of the heel and prevents the "digging" sensation common in stiff stage shoes
- Lined with brushed microfiber that absorbs moisture and creates a comfortable fit
- A slim buckle closure creates a secure, adjustable fit
- Scored leather sole provides the perfect amount of traction on a stage and dance floors
- Tele Tone® toe, Duo Tone heel, or Selva® Staccato® taps are compatible but not attached
Available in: Black, Caramel
Sizing Information and Suggestions:
For women, the recommended fit is the same size as your street shoes. If you are in between sizes, we recommend you go up a half size. These shoes run narrow; most dancers prefer the wide for space in the toe box, even if they have an average foot width.
