trends, trends..they come and go….
and there is one big trend from 2009 that i hope dies a quick and sudden death. the Gladiator Shoe/Sandal/Boot. i know, i know….loads of people bought and wore these – including a mass number of celebrities. but to me, these shoes just looked prehistoric.Â
wouldn't these be cute with a loin cloth?
of course, the very definition of gladiator is a a person (usually a slave, captive or professional combatant) who entertains the public by engaging in mortal combat. isn’t that the height of femininity? actually, the definition works on a small scale: for those who hold their feet captive in these abundance of straps, the pubic gets to watch your feet die of discomfort.
how about a nice brown platform pump instead?
i mean really. is there a single pair of gladiators that can be called comfortable? my motto used to be “style before comfort” but that has changed drastically since i became a mom of a mischievous toddler.Â
nice tan lines!
however, regardless of my personal shoe wardrobe, i think the primary reason i hope this trend dies is that i think the majority of shoes that fall into this category are simply unattractive.
wow! these look extra comfy!
i would place a strong bet that most gladiator shoes will be lined up on the Goodwill show racks by summer.
next up:Â trends i hope stay for the long haul….
what trends do you hope will disappear this year?
