This summer, there's no escaping the gladiator sandal. Heeled, flat, bohemian: they come in all sorts of styles on the feet of fashionistas worldwide. My preference? The casual gladiator sandal, worn with a cool pair of denim shorts. But I have to admit that I have a weakness for more rugged styles of gladiator sandals. Less casual yet more aggressive, very pretty yet often very creative, they give us a sexy warrior look in this modern times. However high heels: ouch ouch ouch! For those who can wear them, I say; go for it! I would just love to wear those high-heeled works of art (unfortunately for me, wearing heels is like climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro). To get back on track, with regards to gladiator sandals, what's great about them is that there is a style for everyone. Within the style, I love ....
