Finding the Right Fit
- Order the size shoe you would normally wear in your typical athletic shoes.
- All Kaepa shoes are fitted for medium widths. If you wear a wide width, order a half size larger.
- A proper fitting cheer shoe should feel snug in the heel and midfoot, with wiggle room around the toes.
- Kaepa cheerleading shoes are available in Women’s and Youth sizes. -Youth sizes end at size 2.0 where women’s start at size 4.0. There is not a lapse in sizing.
- Men’s conversion is 1 ½ sizes smaller than the women’s size.
