For generations, Capezio has been synonymous with dance. Founded in 1887, by master shoemaker Salvatore Capezio, the brand has earned its place as one of the most recognised and respected names in dancewear, creating footwear trusted by everyone from ballet legends to Broadway performers and professional tap artists. With almost 140 years of innovation behind the brand, Capezio continues to set the benchmark for quality, craftsmanship and performance, making it an enduring icon in the global dance community.

The Roxy Tap Boot celebrates that legacy while embracing today’s dancer. Crafted from 100% premium Brazilian leather, the boot delivers the luxurious feel and durability Capezio is known for. Brazilian leather is prized for its softness and flexibility, allowing dancers to enjoy exceptional comfort from the very first wear while providing the strength needed to withstand rigorous rehearsals and performances.

Performance is equally at the forefront of the design. The boot features pre-attached TeleTone® taps, renowned worldwide for their crisp, articulate sound, along with a leather stacked heel that produces clean acoustics and reliable stability. The adjustable laces and flexible upper provide full ankle mobility, with a double-layer stitched leather outsole providing durability. The STK metal back zip with an iconic “C” snap closure ensures a secure, supportive fit that is easy to put on and take off. The signature fold-over upper can be worn up or down, giving dancers the flexibility to personalise their look while adjusting ankle support to suit rehearsals, classes or performance.
