Capezio 2

Duro Toe
This is the oldest model of Capezios and is no longer
being produced. It was a very tapered toe, reinforced
sided boxed shoe with a suede tip. Duro Toe was
designed in the Depression years and was made to
last longer for this reason. But through the years other
models have become more popular and Capezio
decided to no longer carry the design. A FEW dance
stores are still selling leftover stock. Discontinued in 1999.
Had the box/instep height of the Pavlowa model.
Duro Toe had the heaviest stock #3 shank.

Odette II
This shoe had the same features of the standard
Odette shoe- broad flat box, medium length vamp,
full shank, but this shoe was made with a stronger
shank for use in rehersals.

Ultimo
It had a moderate box with a broad toe. #2 leatherboard shank. Equal in strength to Nicolini. This model is for advanced students and professional dancers. Winged box of moderate strength, short pleats and a rounded plaform edge. This model was discontinued by Capezio in 1998.

Perfetta
It was a professional pointe shoe with a 3/4 shank. Softer and less "constructed," it provides a broad balancing surface and beautiful arch. Elastic drawstring and a buffed, scored sole.

Assoluta
It was a very light, and very tapered boxed shoe. More tapered than the Duro Toe or the Pavlowa models. A high profile with a curved V shaped vamp.
