Some items in our catalog; more specifically the Burju Shoes brand, offer custom HEEL Height and SOLE (such as Suede, Street or Rubber Sole)
Other soles such Leather and Cromo (pressed suede) are durable and can be used both indoor and outdoor. Just avoid wetting the soles and extreme rough surfaces like concrete.
