The Budget Stylista: Channel Your Inner Moses With Gladiator Sandals
The gladiator sandal.
At first glance, they leave me thinking, “Why else would I wear all this stuff on my ankle unless I was going to Delta Sig’s Toga Party?” Unless I was going to grab a stick, part the red sea and call myself the second coming of Moses, Gladiator sandals didn’t really seem like my vibe. I was perfectly happy with my patent leather flats and woven wedges for summer. But then you go to stores like Saks, and Nordstrom, and DSW and Target and the more you see the more you like them. Sort of like The Pussycat Dolls; at first you think WTF is this crappy song, but by since the radio plays it 3 times every. single. hour, by days end you’re obsessed.
So now with my newfound gladiator obsession, not only do I have the perfect pair of shoes if I do decide to step up to the Moses challenge, but I have those perfect gladiator flats for my maxi dresses and awesome gladiator pumps for my cute summer minis as well.
So here is a whole range of options – from flats to heels, tan to black. There are so many options that it’s a cinch to find not only the ones that won’t give you blisters, but the perfect sandal to flatter your tooties, too! (Note: yes, there is even a pair out there for those of us with cankles. Go for the ones that don’t hug right around your ankle and they will elongate your legs. Trust me….)

I have gladiator flats and chunky 4 inch heels. I love them- they go with everything and are a nicer alternative to flip flops and ballet flats

UGH! I HATE these shoes. I certainly can not wait for this fad to be over. These things just look disgusting. And I don't think they flatter anyone's feet in the slightest. But most of the ones you showed are not actual gladiator sandals, they're just, well, sandals.
If you like them, please feel free to waste your money, but just know so many people out there will be making fun of your foot wear, and you will be wasting your money since this fad will be over very very soon.

I love my gladiators. I managed to find a super-cheap pair at Wet Seal, for those who love the look and don't want to spend a lot of money on a trend that will go out in a few seasons.

Gladiator sandals have actually been around for a while, so it's not like they are a brand new trend. I guess people enjoy them or else they would have died out a couple years ago.
Yeah, some people hate them but if you wear them, I don't think your choice of footwear is going to be at the top of everyone's mind. After all, people who wear Uggs still manage to have friends.

True. Very true.
I hated them at first. However, I kept seeing them everywhere and when I finally tried one pair at Nordstrom, I loved it. The next day, I was hanging out with my friends and I wore them. Good for summer time.

I actually think women look better in flats than heels.It's a lot less pressure on the ankles. Gladiator sandals date back to the Roman Empire,and are a much more stylish alternative to the usual flip-flops. I TRULY admire women in gladiator sandals,and if they have particularly shapely feet to begin with,the gladiators only enhance them even more.

I got obsessed with these last year! Good to know they're still hip until now. I thought they'd be a passing fad.
