Well, if you check Capezio's website- not other retailers who happen to sell Capezio products- the Romeo is gone from the line-up

Hmmm. When I look here http://www.capezio.c...ance-shoes/mens all I see for the men is Romeo. And we were at the flagship Capezio store in NYC when we were advised that Romeo was the best option. Not sure what I am missing.

My sons teacher allows him to wear them in ballet class. We cant do exams in them bc they want the white ballet shoe for exams. But classes he does in these shoes.

No, you're correct bflo- I was told they are being discontinued by someone in the shoe industry I swear they weren't on that website when I looked at it....

I just checked out the link-- a very interesting shoe! I really don't think ds's ballet teacher would go for it. Maybe for jazz.

The Fizzion looks like an Irish dance soft shoe.

Thats what our dance teacher said at first, she is an Irishh dancer. But its only the top of the shoe that is reminiscient. The bottom looks like foot undeez, with seperate patches for toes, ball of foot and heel. The rest of the bottom is a stretch material that is thin enough to feel the floor.
