Trend that should die: Gladiator Sandals.

I knew something was up when I was NYC last week and everywhere I looked, there they were.  Gladiator sandals.  How they can be construed as attractive, I have no idea.  They are ugly enough when limited to one's feet, but then somewhere on the ACE train I saw this most HIDEOUS example of the trend, the Chanel Knee-High Gladiator Sandal.  I thought it was a joke.  But clearly, they aren't kidding.

I agree -- the sandals(?) are ugly. But they could grow on me if they only people I saw walking around in them were dressed like her (and of course fit like her).
I kind of like them. They are quite intriguing. My only concern would be the resultant funny tan lines.
I like to wear gladiator sandals, especially when I use my whip. I have several pairs, including some dark brown ones with double ankle straps and a thong for my toes that I call my whipping sandals.
i recon they are really cool and i also have some long nee high gladiator sandles myself and i love them
I love gladiator sandals, but NOT ones that go knee-high like those ones. U-G-L-Y, she ain't got no alibi! Don't be alarmed; the regular ones are cute, just not these.
lol she even has arm warmers to match!
Haha aren't they so terribly outstanding?  Or maybe outstandingly terrible =P
totally agree, it's ugly
I hate gladiator shoes but, those ones look good on the model.
YOU PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES,YOU SIMPLY DONT HAVE A FASHION BONE,YOU ARE FASHION DISABLED,YOU NEED HELP!GLADIATORS RULE AND THE KNEE HIGHS ARE TOTALLY SEXY!!GO TO HELL AND DONT DISS MY BABIES!DONT HATE,APPRECIATE! LOSERS!!!
Tbh, I like them. I'd compliment them if I saw them wearing that in shorts or a skirt or something.
There are some seriously aesthetically challenged people commenting on this post. All gladiator sandals are unflattering and hideous, and those knee high monstrosities are the worst I've seen yet. If fact the styling of that model in general makes me want to weep for the future of fashion. There is NOTHING elegant, cool, or beautiful about this in my opinion. It's just trendy for the sake of trendiness. Note to the general public: Just because a designer makes it DOES NOT mean you should wear it.
Amen, Katherine.
