Jimmy Choo Gladiator Sandals

If you’ve ever dreamed of going back through time and space to some romantically distant place, do yourself a favor.  Go out today, no right NOW, and buy yourself a pair of gladiator shoes or gladiator sandals.  Listen, I just had one of the BEST dreams of my life.  Unfortunately it was just a dream though, but good enough that as soon as I tell you about it I think I will go back to sleep for a while.  It felt so real!  The only thing I know for sure is that when I woke up my metallic gold gladiator sandals that I picked up on sale at Old Navy the other day were still sitting beside the tub.

Now here’s what happened.  I had a HORRIBLE day at work.  I’d been on my feet for 12 hours and my stress level was through the roof.  When I get home, I kick off my heels, tear off my clothes, grab my terry robe and gladiator sandals and jump in the sauna.  I guess I must have drifted off because suddenly I was in an ancient Roman bath floating in water scented with oils and rose petals.  My handmaiden was combing through my hair and I was just sooooo relaxed.  I happen to open one eye and there beside the pool were two pair of mens gladiator sandals attached to the most marvelously muscular men’s legs you can imagine.  My eyes wander up and it’s Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson straight out of the Gladiator, complete in Roman togas and gladiator shoes!  Startled to find men in a women’s bath I jump up.  That must have been when I awoke.  But, it got me to thinking….

Did you ever notice how what you wear can kind of alter your personality?  Well, I happen to LOVE gladiator shoes, any kind, any price and any style.  I have this one summer dress that I always wear with a pair of Michael Antonio calf length gladiator sandals.  I feel like Xena the Warrior Princess whenever I wear that outfit, ready to do battle and grab the man of my dreams.  I also have a pair of knee high gladiator sandals by Chanel but they are a bit more expensive and when you see me wearing them you KNOW I’m about to launch a serious conquest campaign!  Then I have an inexpensive pair of gladiator shoes that I picked up on sale at Payless just for everyday wear.  (Nothing catches my eye like a gladiator sandals sale ad!)

I’ve bought high heeled gladiator shoes at Overstock dot com and flat leather gladiator sandals at Zappos dot com.  I mean you name it and I’m right there shopping.  The only thing I haven’t purchased yet is a pair of mens gladiator sandals or gladiator boots.  I guess that’s because I’ve yet to find a shop that includes Russell Crowe in the package.  But let me tell you this right here and now.  If I ever do find such a store you can bet my entire closet will be filled with mens gladiator shoes.  And that’s a promise!

Silver Leather Gladiator Sandals

Many people like to wear shoes for their comfort. While some may prefer to wear a pair of running shoes because they are comfortable to walk with, others, including myself, might sometimes put style above comfort, and wear something trendy like gladiator shoes! Not that they are not comfortable too – but you can’t compare the two. The reason there are so many types of shoes in the market is that every woman chooses her shoes according to her personal priorities.

Enough with the theory – let’s talk fashion! If you don’t know about gladiator shoes, then you are missing out girls. Imagine sandals with straps – the more straps the better for me. They come in a wide range of different styles and some might even work for men. Usually, men’s gladiator shoes will have fewer straps and tend to look a lot like normal sandals. Sure, there are a few gladiator sandals for men, but in reality, it’s all about women’s gladiator shoes! Women just love straps, so most gladiator sandals are full of them.  They have just enough straps so that they can be stylish and not look like normal sandals, yet they make your feet feel almost as comfortable.

Black Leather Gladiator Sandals

There are some women’s gladiator shoes with high heels, and some with no heels at all, keeping real to the original and historic gladiator shoe design. On the other hand, one of the most popular trends nowadays is knee high gladiator shoes, which basically shows that we have openly accepted renowned designs. Furthermore, most women prefer leather gladiator sandals cause of the way the leather straps hug our legs, but as you would expect, they are more expensive. For the same price you could easily get a couple pairs of cheap gladiator shoes. I guess it depends on our tastes and budget.

You can find gladiator shoes in almost every color, the most common being black (not a big surprise) followed by gold, silver, white and brown. During the summer, most women prefer gold gladiator shoes instead of black since, according to the fashion bible we need to wear bright colors when it’s sunny outside!

I would be willing to bet that any woman can find a gladiator shoe that’s just right for her. Feel free to challenge me with a comment if you disagree! I mean, who doesn’t love a pair of black gladiator shoes with lot of straps climbing gently up your knees ensuring a steady grip while looking fabulous? If you still think I am wrong, just follow my advice. Stand up, put on your favorite pair of shoes and go to Nordstrom. Once you enter the store, try to find that magical corner where they keep all the designer gladiator sandals. After you manage to locate my favorite place in the world, take a break, and look down at your shoes. Sure, they still look great… Then look back up. There it is, that amazing pair of Steve Madden gladiator sandals! Did it change your mind? You tell me.
