All roads lead to Rome…and Gladiator Sandals
It’s one of the Top 10 fashion must-haves of 2008. Take a stroll into any shoe store and you are sure to see strappy renditions of gladiator sandals. Love them or hate them…they are slated to be this summer’s biggest trend.
The gladiator sandal first made popular by the Romans 2000 years ago made their comeback last year and have since been popping up on celebrities, store shelves, and feet everywhere. I’m sure Sex & The City fans noticed the Christian Dior number Sarah Jessica Parker was sporting throughout the movie.
Since last summer, it seems everyone has come up with their version of the gladiator sandal and they have been making their appearance on Paris, Rome, and NY fashion runways.
Some styles out now are cute but some look like they wouldn’t be the most comfortable shoes to wear in the hot summer weather. Can you imagine the blisters? Ouch!
Thoughts? Do you think anyone can pull off these gladiator-inspired sandals?

June 21, 2008 at 4:41 amI am not a fan of the gladiator sandals..not at all. I was out last night and there were a few too many ladies sporting different varieties.
I think they are best left on the feet of the ‘gladiators’ who prey on tourists for photos by the Colosseum here in Rome!
