These tights snag/tear easily. Sequins on a costume will destroy these! My 14 yr old gets only one twirling performance at a high school football game per pair.

Love them!

They look amazing on stage and they are super-comfortable! I just wish that they came in XXL because they would be more comfortable.
They have become a staple in my drag closet and I wear them for every show.

Fit very good and are durable if you take good care of them. Hand wash and air dry and they will last. My daughter has used them 4 times already and they are good as new.

They're comfortable and make your legs look amazing, but they lasted 2 shows, then got huge runs in them. And these were dances with absolutely no floor work! I wish they were more durable. They look beautiful for performance, but DO NOT wear them in dress rehearsal. They are the perfect disposable tights for "one night only" performances.

Beautiful glossy tights.....but

After several years of wearing Capezio 1808 tights, I still find them very comfortable with a fabulous glossy finish but durability is definitely an issue. I may get a dozen wearings out of one pair, only to have the next three or four pairs come apart after the first use or even straight out of the package. I also find them to run small compared to what the size chart says.

Good Tights

My girls love these tights. They are very comfortable and reasonably priced. That said, be prepared to purchase several pair as these tights aren't the most durable (if you're doing high-energy Jazz). They started to run after the second performance.

The size run smaller than the chart. The shimmer looks very good, however, the SunTan color is not tan enough. It is durable and comfortabel to wear.

I ordered these tights for a production of A Chorus Line. If a dancer was close to a division of sizes on the chart, I ordered the larger size for her. Over half of the dancers were in a size Large which seemed strange to me since many of them weren't particularly tall or large. One of the dancers, who is 5' 1" and 105lbs and should have worn a Small according to the chart, ended up needing a Medium.
After 2 rehearsals several of the tights had enormous holes in the crotch or runs. By the time that we opened, I had to replace all of them. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in these Capezio tights and have ordered a different brand for the run of the show.

These are your typical, well fitting Capezio tights. I had ordered them and was pleased with their comfort and style. I had them in white last year once and liked the color for ballet. I wear the ultra soft transition usually but enjoy these every now and then. Also I believe Capezio makes one similar to the shimmer in pink ballet that has no shimmer but it has no shimmer and it isn't as opaque as the ultra soft and it's footed. I find the shimmer holds up the best out of the capezios. What I like most out of the Capezio's tights is that the waist band is only about 1/2 inch and very flexible. It doesn't hurt your tummy:-) Attached is the ultimate great Capezio footed pink tights...

Incredible and awesome tights.

If I could give more than the 5 stars for these tights I would. These are now my favorite tights right now. I'm a male, 5'11", 183 lbs and have a 34 inch waist. These tights fit so well. They are extremely comfortable and are amazingly durable.
I bought these about 3 or 4 weeks ago now so I've put some wear on them. They've held up perfectly with normal use. I'm upset that one of my cats found a bit of one of the legs under my closet door. He proceeded to pull it out more and more with his claws. I thought these tights were going to the garbage, but to my surprise there are no holes or runs. There are a number of slight snags of the fabric which you can see tiny horizontal lines going up half the leg, but that is it! Once on, you can't really even see the cat claw damage.
I got these in the color caramel and size XL. They are really shiny for those wanting shiny tights. They give a little support to your legs which I need, but they don't have the compression of support hose. Being a shiny style of tight, they seem to let your jeans glide over them without tugging at all. I never have to adjust them all day. Would I buy more? Most definitely! This will be a regular item in my inventory for quite some time.
