Time to go to work again... looks like you're looking for the better of two gladiator-type sandals in Post #10,566, * justine * Only instead of the lesser of two evils, this is more like "the lesser of two demonically brutal-looking sandals." I'm becoming less critical of gladiators, but both of those aren't helping. Nay! to the first, and Nay! to the second as well. If I had to choose between the two, I'd look for a better pair of sandals than these two. If laws in your area prohibit you from choosing any sandals besides these two, I'd go with the second ones.
