About Burju Shoes

Burju Shoes, created by professional dancer/choreographer Burju Perez, brings the everyday woman a unique collection of stylish yet highly functional and comfortable designer shoes. Distinguished by high-end construction, tailored patterns and high quality leather, Burju Shoes draws a combination of brilliant colors, feminine designs and subtle yet edgy details to create distinctive contrasts and versatility in every shoe. Made to be worn on and off the dance floor, every shoe is engineered with the athletic-ability of a dance shoe that puts comfort as its number one priority.

Each collection comes from the inspiration of designer Burju Perez’s ability to absorb color from the world around her and her innate creative intuition; the roots of which were cultivated through her dance and travel. Though her dancing career proved to be rewarding, Burju’s desire to fully embrace her own fashion, style and art sense encouraged the designer to launch Burju Shoes in April of 2009. Since then the company has grown tremendously within the dance scene worldwide. Burju Shoes have been featured and worn by Season 11’s Dancing with the Stars and the company is currently taking additional steps to further its reach through new marketing, public relations, events and social media campaigns within the dance, bridal and fashion markets. Burju Shoes takes pride in its products, and truly believes that everyone should be both stylish and comfortable from head to toe.
