Gladiator Sandals
Filed in: Designers, Fashion, Shoes, Shopping
These…
…will be my version of the gladiator sandals. I can´t quite put the stripper heels on the shelf, everything under 6″ just seems so low after I dared embark upon those heights. Ok, so they are from those shops we won’t speak loudly of, but sometimes they seem to be the only ones that go this extreme. These are leather though and not some questionable PVC material or whatever. Yesterday I was looking for shoulder kissing earrings, and I discovered that if I put the word “drag” in with my search, I just got so much more to choose from. And remember when I was looking for a sequin dress before they were in every high street store? The only ones carrying them were drag queen shops, so that’s where I had to go. These are indeed women’s shoes, and does not run in big sizes as far as I know, I just think it’s funny the places I end up to get these things.
And to the inspiration, way more walkable shoes, and completely different, but I do love mine!
D&G, Balenciaga and Givenchy.

it now depends on what you team them up with…and they can look very cool…avantgarde-ish even ;)

I prefer flat gladiator sandals…. but your stripper ones are striking!

I just can’t get used to flats. Probably because I’ve always had an issue with my big feet, which aren’t really that big, but nevertheless…

Drag shops, good idea! Especially as I have drag-sized-feet! Anyone knows about good ones in London?

Those are gorgeous. I wouldn’t care where I find things, as long as I like what I end up with.
