Stylish and Practical

Whether this is your first pair of Burjus or your 12th pair, these are a must have. The buckle strap on top not only provides so much ankle support/stability but also adds a fun sleek look with the patent leather. They fit true to size and are comfortable to dance in. These boots are great for all levels from beginners to seasoned heels dancers.

Hi love! Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you love our 'Under The Influence' boots. We agree, the buckle strap adds both style and practicality to the design. We're glad to hear that they fit true to size and are comfortable for dancing. Thank you for being a loyal customer and we hope you continue to enjoy your Burjus shoes!

STEEZY was right!

Was referred to these shoes after watching a tutorial by STEEZY dance company. Absolutely accurate, perfect beginner shoes for learning heels choreo. They fit like a glove and can be adjusted, feel strong and sturdy, my ankle is supported. Very happy with the quality and the ability to customize heel height. Having danced growing up, feels like a sturdy dancer quality heel. I'm ready to get started!

Wow—thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that our shoes met your expectations and that you found them through STEEZY (we love them too!).

It’s great to know they’re giving you the support, adjustability, and quality you need to get started with heels choreography. That “dancer quality” feel is exactly what we aim for, and we're so happy it came through for you.

Wishing you an incredible journey as you get back into dancing—you’ve got this!

Perfect as a first pair of Burjus!

These were the first Burjus I’ve ever gotten, and they had me hooked! I love the removable ankle strap for additional support. These are more durable than any shoes with mesh/ lace etc, so they’re perfect for everyday practice.

I used the AI sizer which recommended me a size 9 (my normal size is 8.5) which fit me well. I was skeptical and also tried 8.5, which I think still could’ve worked once I broke them in, but decided to go with 9 for more comfort.

Hi Diane!

That’s fantastic to hear! We’re so glad you found your perfect fit with Burju shoes. We truly appreciate you, and we’ll continue to do our best to provide you with comfy and amazing shoes.❤️

IA recommended me 8.5 size and I wanted it good fit so ordered just that. It’s perfect!
Felt a bit tight but it’s the new fabric.
It is very easy to walk, to balance, and they are GORGEOUS!!! Absolutely happy.
The most expensive part of shoes I’ve ever bought lol! But happy ❤️

comfortable for such high heels

I have many issues with this store, website, return policy, size of fit these days, but I do like these heels. They are one of the 1st pair of dance heels and shoes I bought from Burju (2 years ago now?) and they are amazingly comfortable for the size and height of heels, and fit true to size. I wear 6.5 street shoes in most brands and they fit perfectly. Good ankle support after you get adjusted to the my feet are up way too high and ankles bent way too much phase. That said, I'm not a heels dancer and my heels are usually way lower than 4 in (partner dancer).

We truly appreciate your continuous support and trust in our shoes. Your 5-star review brightens our day and serves as a constant reminder of why we love making beautiful and comfy shoes!

And, we're continuously doing our best to improve our service, the returns policy will remain the same, but we're working on our website to make browsing and shopping a walk in the park- you can look forward to this in a few weeks. Thanks again love! ❤️

Love my Burjus!!

Sexy, stable, & SO comfortable!! After just 1 class they molded to my feet perfectly. As a professional dancer I’ve danced in a ton of crazy, awful heels but Burju shoes are legit!! Don’t wait, order your style and start “LIVING” in your Burjus asap!! I did do the sizing/foot pics and it recommended a 7.5, I normally wear between a 6.5 or 7 street shoe and they were absolutely correct! They fit like a glove. Thx Burju xxx, Melanie

That's fantastic! We appreciate your beautiful review! We're soo happy you found your perfect dancing pair! Cheers! ❤️❤️❤️

Great heels

Never thought 4-inch stilettos could be this comfortable :) I absolutely love the thick foam padding. I danced for 2 hours in heels class and my feet and ankle didn't blister or hurt at all afterwards. Extremely comfortable and sturdy, I'm still amazed I'm able to walk around on 4-inch heels like nothing and I love this sexy design! The zipper detail is great for putting on and taking off the shoes without having to untie & re-tie the shoelaces. I also like that they come with a decent carrying bag -- convenient to take to dance class.

Yasss!! We're so happy for you! We're soo glad you love everything about your shoes- comfort and style! Thank you so much for this amazing feedback!

Worth it

The shoes took 2 months to come in, but there were some carrier issues that weren’t Burju’s fault. The wait was worth it though because these heels are soo comfortable. I’ve danced in them for 2 hours straight and did not feel any pain unlike the other (non Burju) heels I own. These heels looked exactly as advertised, and their sizing guide was perfect. Would buy from them again!

Yay! That's amazing! We're sorry for the slight delay in your order but we're sooo glad you love them! Enjoy your new dancing partner! And you can look forward to many fab design! Cheers! ❤️

They are so beautiful, and comfortable for being 10,5 cm. The front of the shoes are bit wide, but in total they are pretty comfy.

Awkward shaft height, but super comfortable

This is my 4th or 5th pair of Burju heels in the past couple of years. Recently I had a quality issue with a slightly older barely used pair (because of the pandemic) that I was not too happy with how it was resolved (or lack thereof), but still purchased another pair thinking maybe I was too unfair, hoping to give the brand another chance because I've recommended these to so many people over the past couple of years and it's an awesome overall company with a wonderful owner. I got these in my blind box which I had an initial issue with and they quickly resolved it, so felt more satisfied with customer service this time around. This particular model has a strangely tall shaft height that looks awkward with the 3.5 inch heel and makes my foot look strangely large/long. Definitely looks more elegant with the 4 inch from other customers' pictures. Otherwise that's my only complaint. The material for these makes them VERY comfortable and allows the shoe to move fully with your foot. Did not have to break them in at all. I had Sierras which were fine but the material was more stiff and I felt a little more constrained and time to stretch them out, especially as a Latin dancer that requires probably a more flexible shoe material. These will be my main dance shoe for social dancing for the next few months and I hope they hold up better than my previous pair which I hope were just defective.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. ❤️ We're sorry if we may have fell short on one of your interactions with us, but we're glad that you are highly satisfied with your recent. We'll do our best to serve you better, continuously. Thank you again for this amazing feedback and for supporting us! Enjoy your new pair!
