Gladiators...Not for Me

I want them. BUT. Flat ones don't look great on me. Fashionistas, beware.


Well. Unless I find nice ones with a bit of a heel--or a slight wedge like the pair one of the Olsens or Gwyneth wore.

Is the Gossip Girl's pair flat ones or ones with heels (girl in blue)? I can't figure out if she's tiptoeing or not.


The green Versace ones are also a little more forgiving to those without long limbs like those Scandinavian models.

I hope I can find a nice pair in HK.

Kenneth Cole Reaction "Women's Know It All Gladiator Sandals" are nice, but a bit boring don't you think (top pic)?
