Gladiator sandals get out of control: Faith’s ‘Joman’ sandal boots
This is what happens when the current trend for gladiator sandals is allowed to go unchecked – you end up with a shoe like Faith’s ‘Joman’ sandal on your hands. Or on your feet, rather.
Would you have these on your feet, though? Well, no one seemed keen on high-leg gladiators last time we asked you about them, and while we think the ordinary, low-rise sandals can look rather chic during the summer, we can’t say we disagree with you on that one.
Have Faith’s ‘Joman’ sandals, plus the repeated exposure to gladiator styles all summer, managed to change your mind? If so, you can buy them here for £60.
All I can picture is some really hideous tan lines.
no amount of exposure to gladiator sandals would ever change my mind about gladiator boots–bleech. :/
Gladiator sandals or boots need to die along with their time. This style of fashion should have been left out of the cyclical trend.
@ Danielle: I agree. The gladiator sandals, the resurrection of the 80s… it all just makes me wonder if we’re running out of ideas.
Unfortunately, I am reminded of serious foot surgery and the ghastly orthopedic appliances I was forced to wear during my recovery time.
I think tne reason that Gladiators would wear them, is because their opponents would laugh themselves to death upon sight. lol.
i actually bought these in a sale…. they didnt look like much on the shelf but trust me… when they were on my feet i had nothing but compliments everywhere i went…. i had them in dark brown though… they are AMAZING boots and if you havent seen lately knee high sandals are everywhere!
