I do have to say that gladiators definitely had to grow on me. I was so reluctant to buy them and I honestly thought they looked weird on my feet. But I walked around the store a bit, put some outfits together and my head, and i love them!

i am a lover of gladiator sandals. i have a tall pair, like the one in the first picture, that i wear with shorter (but not clingy/tight) skirts and dresses, and i just bought this flat pair from a site called artfulwears named ‘georgie’ that i intend to wear with this spring’s maxi style dresses. i can see how they aren’t for everyone, but i love them!

I think this is the hottest thing on earth. At first, I was like woa…now, as a man, I can’t think of a hotter sandal than gladiators….they drive me crazy!

If you don’t like that pair all your taste may be in your mouth!

I’m 5’11″ ,on the thin/athletic side and pretty much wear most anything.
I ADORE the gladiators as my ankles are not the best and the straps cover them and give me confidence! But even my long athletic legs can be challenged by this shoe- its all about the design. If I were a designer, I would ALWAYS make the front shorter than the back to “V” the straps down the leg/foot for lengthening. A bit of a heel makes for a good difference too. I must admit, I think the heeled versions are far far hotter than the flats but then again there are some great flats. I ‘ve been wearing these for about five years now and see the trend on the way out- but hopefully not all the way. There is something fierce about having your ankle wrapped and your foot somewhat exposed. My boyfriend LOVES my gladi kitten heels _ oh my goodness- can’t print it here but for those narrow minded that just call the trend fugly- fine- go shop at Rockport and spend your lives in sensible shoes.
Fashion is meant to be fun, controversial , fresh and exciting. Go all the way or go home and bitch about all those that dare to be different.
VIVA LE DIFFERENCE!

One word for this look: fugly. I really hope this is not the big trend of the summer. Not very feminine looking.

The ones you posted are really awful examples of gladiator shoes. Some others look gorgeous, esp with the right outfit, but I feel like you really have to look around and plan out what to wear with them before getting them.
i wear mine casually; I’m usually outside adventuring and getting messy, and gladiator sandals stay on my feet, keep me cool, and look awesome :}
