When he immigrated to New York he had already trained as a cobbler. At the age of 17 he opened his first shop, called The Theatrical and Historical Shoemaker, located near the Metropolitan Opera House. He began by repairing shoes for the performers, but after making a pair of shoes for one of the dancers he began specialising in dance shoes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1933 Capezio introduced the Teknik, a superior shoe that the company still sells.
