Gladiator Sandals

Do we think these will still be 'in' next year?

I live in birkinstocks, but as i'm pregnant and living in leggings and loose tops i could do with more fashionable footwear.

Can decide between the black, brown or tan ones, should i get studded ones?

And has anyone seen any in the shops? or will it be a ebay purchase.

  • I wouldn't buy them now, you've only got a couple more weeks of sandal wear left this year. They might still be in in next year or there might be a new must have, so why take the risk. Stick with the birkies (much more comfy and still cool) and buy maybe a pair of ballet pumps for when the weather gets a bit cooler/damper but before you are into boots.

    I'd say treat yourself. You can still wear them for evening dos!;)

    I think if you like something and it's comfy, go for it. I'd go for plain black ones personally because they won't date as much as the studded ones. I got a bargain pair last year (Pierre Cardin) before they were even "in fashion" so I was well ahead this year :Dand I have worn them & worn them.

    There were some in the M&S sale IIRC (online and instore) but I would wait until next spring/summers fashion comes in as it changes so quickly (personal opinion)
  • i would go ahead and get a pair!
