GLADIATOR SANDALS

Gladiator sandals are sandals with numerous straps that wrap the foot and rise up the ankle, shin and sometimes to the knee, forming a characteristic 'cage' of leather or textile. The style is directly inspired by the footwear of Ancient Roman warriors (hence the name). Gladiators are expressive, striking summer footwear that accentuates the leg and adds a bold, slightly warlike and ethnic character to a look. They come flat-soled (the resort classic) or on a heel (a more dramatic, evening option). They go best with light dresses, shorts and boho style. Gladiator sandals are sandals with numerous straps rising up the leg, in which ancient-Roman roots combine with an expressive, bold silhouette that accentuates the leg and adds a warlike-ethnic, striking character to a summer look.
