Mia Achilla Review: Mary-Kate’s Gladiator Shoes
The times of gladiator heroes has been making its way back into popularity for a couple of years now. I do not think it is just because Brad Pitt naked bum was on the big screen during Troy, either. First the gladiator times influenced fashion by flowy dresses. Now, they are influencing our footwear.
Mary-Kate Olsen wears a pair of black Channel gladiator shoes. In fact, the same style has been worn by Hayden Panettiere and Kate Hudson. Also, these shoes are really popular in Europe.
So how exactly do you wear this look? Well, as Mary-Kate demonstrates, you can wear these with a short dress and have everyone’s eyes focused on your legs. Some starts have paired them with shorts, which is not the way I would go. Anyway you decide to wear them, follow the two rules, please. Do not wear socks. Oh gosh, horrible visual: rainbow toe socks and gladiator shoes. Also, please polish those toes. There is nothing worse than sexy shoes with disgusting chipped toe nail polish.
To make this look your own, invest in the Mia Achilla. Let me hear your thoughts! Are you gaga for these gladiator shoes?
So, I saw shoes like this while I was shopping in NY a couple of years ago and I’m still surprised that they’re making waves!
It was extremely difficult for me to try them on since every single strap had to be carefully buckled in. But I guess, if you wanted to make an impact (or really loved 300), you’d take the time to do some buckling.
Personally, I’ve always been wary of these boot/sandal hybrids.
