I saw these sandals on the Anthropologie website this morning. I tried to post a variety. There are some very creative designs.

Please look at them from an aesthetic & fashion point of view, not from practicality or whether or not you can wear them.  Enjoy.

I guess "pretty" is out of style nowdays.

@Desert Lily   Fun post!

I think #15 looks like a slinky.

Good grief!  I bet they're expensive too.

Wow - some really cool styles!  I especially like the embroidered ones - but that's the Child of the 70's in me!  Wish i could wear them but, unfortunately, those days are gone!  But still enjoy seeing them.  Thanks for the pictures!

I don't like ANY of them. Some are  REALLY UNATTRACTIVE. Some are HIDEOUS.

@Desert Lily  That is definitely an interesting collection.  I like some, dislike some for health reason, and dislike some others for what must be ingrained taste.  I know I dislike some shoes just because I can't wear them myself, but I've never seen a gladiator sandal I liked- never.

I can visuallize about 6 of them coming from QVC.  The Tevas for example.

After the first few I thought I wouldn't like any because I never liked gladiator sandals but then saw #3-OOlala!

I also like 14 thru 18 and 21! What a great lime green color,

and 24.

Some look like they are "trying too hard." It reminds me of designers of clothing who really aren't designing for the wearer but to make some kind of artistic statement of their own which doesn't often make any sense at all except maybe to themselves🧐😳
