Ha! I just bought those sandals for $5 on clearance at Target. I love them!

They could be cute, so long as they aren’t “leg bondage” as you so aptly put it I personally prefer the “gladiator lite” look - the hint of the trend without the full on “leg bondage.” The pair pictured above would work with a nice light pencil skirt…or even a pair of linen pants. Very versatile.

I don’t care for the gladiator look at all. I agree with Kiwi- how could I be cute?
If I did wear them, I’d get a stiletto heel and pair them with something very simple and chic, a no-frills, sleek outfit– a pencil skirt suit with some bold jewelry maybe.
The flats with the leg-bondage aren’t for me. But your Target pick gives a hint of the look without going overboard.

Totally agree, Kiwi. Gladiator sandals are certainly not for everyone. They’re good for adding a bit of spice to your wardrobe, but they’re not going to be your everyday shoe.

Honestly. I’m not surprised a little over said No to the sandals. I myself was shocked when the trend headed my way. All in shop windows I would see the sandals and sigh; how could I wear those and be cute at the same time. But to add masculinity to the outfit, I don’t disagree there.
They’re nice, but I don’t see people trudging around in them a lot.
