Gladiator Footwear For Women

/ On : 21.35/ Thank you for visiting my small blog here.
Gladiator shoes are all the rage and you can find them being worn during the day and night in almost any city in the world. From North America to South East Asia, fashionable shoes have made their mark. They are named for the fact that Roman gladiators once fought while wearing them. They were typically knee high and were made from tough leather to provide some form of protection. Not all of them had these sandals and many fought barefoot. Traditional gladiator shoes were at least calf-high with some reaching right below the knee. It was very rigid footwear with a tough sole connected to the foot via a series of leather thongs.
It was distinct from most other forms of footwear back then as well as today, which is why they are currently selling like hotcakes. You can find gladiator shoes in styles ranging from stilettos, flats, sandals and platforms. The colors are wide ranging with black, brown, tan, beige and white being the usual color of choice. Its also important to note that these types of footwear are viewed as feminine today despite the fact that they were originally worn by some of the most ferocious warriors during the Roman era.
Teaming a pair of gladiator shoes with most outfits is easy as long as you keep in mind one or two points when buying these shoes. Some gladiator shoes have straps that go up to the knee whilst others just come up to the calf or the ankle. If you have long, slender legs, most of these styles will look good. However, if you have thicker calves which most of us do, try to keep to the ankle length styles. Straps that go up to the calf or knees will accentuate the leg and give a bulky appearance to them. Choose neutral colors such as brown, black, tan, beige or even white to match your outfits. These give a streamlined look to your appearance whilst looking chic and classy.
Flat heeled shoes look good with shorts, Capri's, skirts and dresses. They give a classy yet casual look to your outfit. Skirts or dresses that come to the knee or just above the knee also look great when paired with shoes with a little heel. You can find heeled gladiator shoes that can match perfectly with your attire. For a more sophisticated look, wear your fitted dress with stiletto gladiators. They ooze sexiness with the juxtaposition of the female and male in the form of the dress and shoes.
For those who like the towering look, you can find gladiator styled platform shoes. They can range anywhere from 7cm to 10cm in height for some of the designs. These can be found with metal studs and embellishments that give it a very edgy look. High heeled shoes look good when worn for evening functions. They can be paired with slim fitting dresses and skirts for dinner or with trendier wear for a night out at the clubs. Gold, silver, bronze and even black gladiator shoes look amazing at night. They even come with embellishments such as studs, diamantes and crystals. Find one that goes well with your outfit and try to match it with something else in your wardrobe. That way you can wear them more than once and with another outfit!
Gladiator shoes are made from various materials ranging from leather to synthetic materials and fabrics. Finding a pair that is comfortable is very important. When looking to buy one, try walking in them. If you're buying them from an online store, find out your correct size and make sure that they have a refund policy. There are plenty of choices online but finding one that fits you perfectly is crucial. Looking good goes hand in hand with being comfortable in what you wear.
