Burju Shoes

Have you ever wondered how dancers can move so fluidly in high heels? Don’t their feet kill them? Apparently, dancer’s shoes are made to fit more comfortably. Burju Perez, a dancer, and established choreographer has designed a line of shoes that combines fashion with the comfort of a dancer’s shoe. Hallelujah! Her shoes are said “to fit like a sock”. You can wear them for hours without skipping a beat. WOW…I’m intrigued.

What do I think:

I’m usually pretty desperate to find a shoe that I can run around Manhattan in, and not want to cry at the end of the day. So, I’m thrilled at the idea of a comfortable shoe. Sometimes I’m even willing to sacrifice a great looking shoe for a comfortable one (sort of). There are a few styles in the Burju Collection that interest me. I like most of the “Dance Naturals” collection. I love a nude shoe, it elongates the leg and blends beautifully. A few of the shoes in the Collection are a little too jazzy for me, but overall I’m willing to give them a try. Honestly, I’m willing to try anything that claims such comfort.

What do you think of the Collection?

    I wore ballroom dance shoes for my wedding. They were incredibly comfortable. I wear a 4 1/2, so they were my only shot at getting cream satin shoes that fit. The only concern is that true ballroom dance shoes have soft leather soles that are not made for use on anything other than a wood or marble floor. Concrete will tear through them and damp grass will soak them. You can have a rubber sole affixed to the bottom, which is what I would recommend if you want to wear them outdoors. Bottom line is that they are really comfortable.

    That's so funny that you posted about this, because I was just watching DWTS yesterday and wondering where I could get some of those shoes – because if they can stay put during a chacha or a jive and one can dance in them even thought they have a heel, they must be pretty darn comfortable.

    I checked out the website and I agree, some are a bit much, but they have some cute styles! I might just get a pair of sandals :-)
