Gladiator Sandals

[luckyme]

yes, you're right but they reissued them since they're going to be front and center in the movie SATC.

Not sure how everyone feels bout fakes. We all love the Nine west "balenciaga" no?

Not sure if these are gladiators, but they were catagorized as gladiators.

i dont own any nine wests...but now im tempted to jump on the wagon...how do they run? the website says M W N-- i dont know how wide or narrow my feet are- and how do they fit? im usually anything between a 39-40, if i get a M 39.5 would that fit?

i don't know why, but this trend reminds me a lot of the shoes they use in Naruto (manga turned anime).

I went 1/2 size down with a medium width. They are a little tight at the bottom, but I like my shoes a little tight. I don't think there is a huge difference between M and W. I actually think if you're going to wear tights, a W might be better.

^^^ Wow! You paid it!??!! Wow!!!

UNiQFashionista get them! they are actually very well made considering the price. i got them in brown and black, both half a size down because the leather straps were a little loose in my size, length wise the 7.5s i got fit perfectly
eunhe i want those! but in flats

Wait, where do you get yours? Are they in European sizes? I'm a 37/38 and I got a size 7 (which is like a EU 37 or 37.5). If anything, they run a tad big. But most say they run true to size. For me a 6.5 would be good too. Just don't size up. You should get like a US size 9 (just not bigger) and an M.

Nicky's almost looks like they are from Nine West with the slightly more curved heel..I thought balenciaga's was all straight.

although, they are a bit difficult to walk in. the heel is a good 5+ inches....
should i return them for the flats?
i like them better in the heel version, though....

 

[MissyJG]

^i LOVE them. I saw ashley olsen wearing them and i was drewling. lol. Only exchange them if they are really uncomfortable. But it's not like you're gonna walk in them for hours right?

 

[The_Ida]

^Who are they by? They are really great

 

[fashionispoison]

^ they're balenciaga

Mona amazing shoes!

 

[educo]

Mona, you could go the cobbler and have them add a mini (like 1/4") platform at the bottom to throw back the angle of the shoe. It will make it feel like you're walking on 3 1/2" instead of 5". BUT it is noticeable so if the sole isn't black, i wouldn't advise it. I did this treatment on a pair of 5" Balenciagas and now walking in them is like a dream. If you want to see what the cobbler can do, PM me. You're in NYC, right? Here is a pic of what the cobbler did for my shoe so you can see what I'm talking about: Luckily the added rubber platform goes well with the style of the shoe but I don't know about yours.
