These shoes have improved my balance by probably 50%. I can do so much more due to the support of the shoe, compared with my old cheap shoes.

These shoes are gorgeous, the quality is great, and they really make a statement! They are truly beautiful shoes. I wore them to a 90 minute workshop after not dancing in heels for many months and they were comfortable the entire time with no breaking in needed. My feet didn't hurt at all during dancing or the day after. They are balanced perfectly and provide super stable footing and ankle support. Once you size them with the laces and straps, they are super easy to get on and off with the side zipper.

Shipping only took a little over a week to get to Canada with no customs fees, which is a huge win!

I took a star off for two reasons:
1. I think the listing should say to go a whole size up, not half size. I am a street size 10 and usually a dance heel size 9 (confirmed by Burju's measuring instructions) with narrow feet and ankles. I ordered in a 10 due to stock and they are still VERY tight. I had to loosen them so much that the shoelace is too short to go through the last two eyelets. The top strap covers most of this but for the price point I'd like long enough shoelaces!
2. For the quality and price I was surprised that a single ballroom workshop on a dance studio floor scraped up the sole quite badly (enough to show through to the black underneath it) and left scuff marks on the floor. They will definitely be better for certain dance styles than others after learning that.

Love the look of these shoes! I do recommend to go up one full size. They’re comfortable, but not as breathable and flexible as some of my other pairs.

I love the look and feel of these boots. They’re incredible.
