Splurge vs. Steal: Gladiator Sandals

Posted by Joanna, Feb 4 2009, 12:57 PM in Shopping + Trends

Love them or hate them, gladiator sandals are still lingering.   Warrior women from coast to coast can’t get enough of the shoe that helped launch the boho trend, leaving us to believe that gladiators have become a summer staple.   From high to low, there are plenty of styles to choose from, like these from Chloè that wrap around the ankle.  We love the criss cross straps that give them an edgy, fashion forward appeal.  For a more budget conscious option, Sam Edelman’s Greco Sandal will give the gladiator look without breaking the bank and come in black, brown, and plum.
