There aren’t many Gladiator styles I think are attractive & I like these. I still will have to say Nay! They look like they would be terribly uncomfortable and a major pain to get on and off.
They definitely have some attractive detailing like the metal hardware, but I don’t like how high the top two straps are. I imagine someone would have to be six feet tall in order for these shoes to not visually shorten the leg line (sorry, been watching too much What Not to Wear). They remind me of ankle boots and even though the “ankle boots with short skirts” trend was in this past winter, it is usually a faux pas for 95% of women’s body types. Also, they remind me of some “granny boots” I had when I was 10. Way too 80s. I say nay.

if the strappies stopped before the ankle..yes. As they are, no…the top would fall at a weird place and make my legs look like fence posts lol
Megan says
I say Nay.
I also think I’m starting to get old. These just scream Dominatrix to me for some reason.
Barbie says
I say nay! I think more pain then glory.
Suzy says
Oh. If movies were shoes and they could bear offspring, these would be the love child of Gladiator and La Cafe au Folles.
Just sayin.

If they were comfortable, I would say yay because they are kinda cool looking.
Since I would imagine they would be extremely uncomfortable no matter how many insoles you put in them, I’d have to say nay. But they are cute!
