GLADIATOR SANDALS
They are ugly ugly UGLY. The ones that go up your leg look like trellises [ladies, trellises are for gardens, not your feet]. Even the tamer gladiator sandals that are only bondage up to your ankle are ugly. Beyond being hideous, gladiator sandals prove extremely impractical if you buy the genuine ones with all of the laces and buckles...and if you buy the FAKE gladiators with eazy-zipper backs, you just look silly and lazy [if you're going to give into an ugly trend, give in completely].
They are such atrociously masculine shoes. They are unattractive with all clothing items and make ladies' legs look like tree stumps with distorted vines growing up them. O, and the stiletto gladiators are the worst [they are completely stupid].
Why on earth would ladies want to wear shoes traditionally worn by men who slayed lions? I understand that women want to assert their feminine power in their wardrobes, but I really don't think wearing gladiator sandals is the way to do it. It just makes girls look silly and like male gladiator-wannabes, which undermines the goal of asserting any sort of feminine power. Ladies should wear nice, simple sandals and pick out smart clothing pieces instead.
Unless you're on your way to slay a lion, gladiator sandals are unacceptable. Period.
Feminine? I think not.
Chic? Heck no.

charles, here is what i think:
ReplyDeletei don't understand...those things are like putting your feet in prison. i'll take a gladiator sandal over one of those boots anyday.
While the Yves Saint Laurent shoes are, admittedly, more feminine, they look like shiny/pretty chicken wire was put on the poor feet that have to wear them...Kind of like sparkly, distracting bondage shoes that are inspired by farm construction goods. I could POSSIBLY see wearing one of the platform shoes for a night on the town, but I still don't think they're the most attractive shoes on the planet. They are certainly not the kind of timeless "footart" that I prefer.
ReplyDeleteBasically, even though they're Yves Saint Laurent, I'm going to have to say that I don't think they're classy or chic.
