Gladiator Shoes

How many times have you seen a pair of shoes that just seemed way over the top for your personal preferences? I know it has been more than a few times for me. I used to stay away from extravagant designs or shoes made out of animal skins. Then again, that was the old me!

Nowadays, patched up artworks seem to be the new hot trend in the shoe industry. We see shoes that remind us of rainbows with all those colors messed into each other or with the various mixes of materials used to not only create our shoes but also to decorate them. Whenever I saw shoes made out of alligator or snake skin, I would go ballistic. They seemed either too old fashioned or just too much for my tastes. Again, those times are long gone now. I currently have 7 different animal skin shoes and I plan to increase that number by a whole lot in the next few months to come. I am just in love with them. Not only do they make the shoe much longer lasting, they also add to the design with their diverse colors. No wonder we see them featured as one of this year’s list of trendiest styles.

Talking about trendiest styles… it’s worth taking a look at some of the other styles that joined in on that list. First off, I am so happy to say that gladiator shoes were right on top. They are the best choice for women who want comfortable shoes for their feet while staying in line with fashion. Durable, yet stylish and extravagant yet so natural looking makes gladiator shoes the best choice for your footwear. Further down the list, we saw peep-toe sandals as they are the dominant choice for those seeking to show off how hard they worked on their pedicures, while not disclosing the rest of the package. Flowered designs came up next – that’s an old time classic though, so no reason to spend more time on them and finally platforms. I am not a big fan of platforms but I am sure you’ll agree that they can work wonders when worn the right way for some of us. They make us look taller and height is very important since, when not overdone, it makes us look thinner. At this point, I am sure you are wondering where you can get a copy of that list, right? Well that’s the thing… you can’t. I just made it up. Would love to hear your thoughts about it though!

Do you happen to just love gladiator shoes like I do? Well, join the club girlfriends! In my opinion gladiator shoes are the best way to go since they give our feet a great comfortable feeling, while allowing the air to flow through them. Furthermore, they give us a chance to present to the world the countless hours we, or our pedicurists, spend working on our toe nails. Nowadays, it is almost essential for every woman to spend a lot of time and effort in order to look her best. I sincerely believe that it would be a pity not to be able to let the rest of the world admire what we have achieved through that hard work, and having perfectly trimmed toe nails is definitely part of that.

Some of us tend to frequent gladiator shoes only during the summer, since we need to let the air flow through our feet especially when it’s hot, however, you should note, that there is nothing wrong in wearing your favorite shoes even during winter. Sure, it can be too cold to do that, and we certainly don’t want anyone to freeze or anything, but there are ways to get over that and still get to wear the shoes that you actually want. Gladiator shoes can go well with almost anything, including leggings or stockings that will keep you warm and still in line with fashion.

There are mixed views when it comes to gladiator shoes. Some women like them while some… not so much. Well, I just let the latter stick to the standards – there is nothing wrong with that. One thing is for sure though – no one can disagree with the fact that our favorite type of shoes can match anything.  You can wear them with shirts or a pair of shorts or even a beautiful dress and they will still be the main attraction.

Bottom line is that no other type of shoes can be ideal for all different events and styles. You can wear gladiator shoes at work, at a night out, or even a black tie event and you will still be the center of attention – always in a good way of course. I guess that this was just an article I had to write to get some stuff out of my head. I mean, some of my girlfriends, who swear by high heels, tend to question this great love of mine and I had to answer back. In my opinion it’s a no brainer – go glad or go bad! An exaggeration but kind of true, isn’t it?
