The Year of The Gladiator

While we see an influx of gladiator sandals every spring, the upcoming season's offerings appear endless, as high-end designer's dressed up, heeled versions, are the ultimate statement.  Ever a constant, the flat gladiator still holds it's own, as evidenced by those featured...even Manolo Blahnik offers up a "booted" version! All hail the gladiator!
