Would you ever? / Have you ever? - Gladiator Sandals

Gladiator sandals. Sometimes I think they would be so cool.


Celebs seem to pull it off... right?


However, I worry I would just end up looking like this:


Especially because I have large dancer calves.
(I mean, they're called "gladiator sandals" for a reason...)

And sometimes, they remind me a little of this:


You know, with all those leather straps?

Well, what do you think? Have you ever worn them? Are they comfortable? If you haven't worn them, would you?

*swoon*

1. Dolce Vita Marcel flat sandals
2. Giuseppe Zanotti Gladiator ankle boot
3. Brown Python Gladiator sandals
4. Gladiator heel (via Delia's - I actually think these would be doable. They're a little less gladiator-y.)
5. Dolce & Gabbana back zip-up sandals

  1. I think if you stay away from 1 and 5, maybe 3 you're ok. I don't think Ms Olsen pulls it off. It looks more like she has knee-hi stockings on.

  2. I actually really like #5, the design of the straps is a little less "execution chair" than some of the others. But, I don't think this a trend I'm going to hop on, ever.

  3. Clever... thank you for making me laugh! And, yes, I wear them. But, the subtle ones. I could pull off #3 or #4.
