How to Wear Knee High Gladiator Sandals

If you´re looking for tips on how to wear knee high gladiator sandals this spring and summer, then these four outfits with knee high gladiators will surely inspire you.

Gladiator sandals´ comeback is fiercer than ever. If they made waves before when then hit just about mid-shin or around the ankle, how much more now that they´re made in knee-high length? I personally have a thing for gladiator sandals because they revive that ancient glamor of Greece combined with utter sexiness. These sandals are made to get attention so it´s only apparent that they´d look great with shorts, minis, or high-low pieces.

I love gladiator sandals, whatever their height, simply because it feels like I´m wearing some ancient Greek sandals. I started to become fascinated with Greek´s ancient handmade footwear when I studied the work of William Shakespeare, the lives of Julius Caesar, Anthony and other significant Romans in history, back in the university. Since then, I always made sure that I had a pair of gladiator sandals.
