Well, those gladiator sandals from Post #2502 are very much wearable and casual. I'm probably thinking jeans or denim jean shorts for bottoms with those sandals. I've become fond of the long dress + gladiator sandals look. That, too, is possible with those. I think they're very nice for what they are. If you just want some sandals but don't want to settle for flip-flops, those are not a bad pair to go with, in my view.
