gladiator boot sandals - W.T.F.
Edited on Sun May-30-10 09:19 PM by Skittles
I thought nothing could be worse than pointed shoes and Crocs but for sheer ugliness but these ones have it: "gladator boot sandals" are now a certified fad:

Women so often want to know why they are not taken seriously? Well, here's a clue.

2. why bother shaving?
this could lead to a new fad! Just buy regular sandals, and shave everywhere but your shins! :D

23. I used to know a woman who shaved only one leg, let the other one grow out...
a real attention getter, if you ask me....

6. They remind me of the ankle brace I wear on my left ankle...
It's to keep my ankle aligned well, and to keep my arch from falling!

These are just as ugly, and mine was covered by my insurance!

:rofl:

16. Yes, they are. They also look like they would be almost impossible to take more
than a few steps in, especially the first pair. I don't think I could even stand up in those.

12. I like the ones on the bottom - I have a number of simpler types of sandals
like that.


I think glad sandals look really cool.

15. Those really are butt ugly. I can imagine that they are doubly so for us ladies
with big feet. I learned a long time ago that the shoe that looks adorable in the size 5 display model should not be turned loose on the world in a size 10.

19. Speaking as a man ...
I have never, even once, cared about, or been impressed by, a woman's shoes. I guess I would notice if she were otherwise well-dressed but had qrotesque clod-hoppers on her feet, but other than that, I really haven't noticed.

25. Those are a bastardized mockery of the caligae worn by legionaries and gladiators.

No hobnails, for one thing.
