Back In Straps: Gladiator Sandals Are Dominating Street Style

Gladiators are those which are primarily characterized by multiple straps that extend upto the ankles or even till the thighs. They are essentially flats with even heeled versions popularly admired today. They had been a fashion favorite in the mid 2000s and let’s admit that they have been a perennial wardrobe staple yet again! The reiterations we see in the present times are bolder and better with chic silhouettes in reimagined designs. Let’s take a closer look at how these Y2K sole staples have changed the narrative one more time!

History & Evolution Of Gladiator Sandals

The history of gladiators can be traced back to ancient Rome when they were worn by fighters and real gladiators. They served as functional footwear to symbolize their strength and agility. They were crafted in sturdy leather while supporting ease of movement and providing endurance at the same time. They eventually made their way into the fashion world as Boho-inspired footwear with their maximalist designs and more sculptural and sleek designs introduced post the 2000s.
