SHOE guide.

The heel of the shoe should be centered under the heel of the foot - not too far forward or back.

The shoe should have good support around the toes & ankles (unless you are an advanced dancer that chooses to dance in pumps).

You should feel STABLE within your shoe, so that your foot doesn't slide around too much.

While your foot should feel stable, your shoe should not be too TIGHT. You should be able to splay out your toes in your shoe.

Stay away from platform or chunky heels.

You should be able to go onto your toes and lift your heels off the ground. If you cannot, they are too HIGH.

Find what heels height is comfortable for YOUR body. Higher heels does NOT equal better! We aim for a 4" heel in the Burju shoes.

Make sure your heels do not have rubber soles, as they stick to the floor & it is bad for your joints. Street or Suede soles are the best!

Please check that your heels do not scuff or mark the floor. It’s important to us that all our dancers respect studio floors & build an awareness of this. Beige soles usually work best!
