Today I'm going to talk about Gladiator Sandals or Lace Up Sandals, which are a very big trend this Summer. Let's break it down a little bit:
Brief Description: Traditional gladiator sandals are flat-soled, open-toed shoes that feature multiple straps. The shaft of a gladiator sandal usually extends to above the ankle, and at least part-way up the leg, typically reach mid-calf to just below the knee (by About Style).
Were on the runway of: Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Chloe, Givenchy, Marni, Hermès, Hugo Boss, Dsquared2 and Valentino.
