Summer Trend: the Infamous Gladiator Sandal

-

The gladiator sandal may be a trend we’re all sick of hearing about – I know I am. But, I felt it my duty to bring you an eco option just in case. After all the hype, I finally found a greener version of the oddly popular (in my opinion) sandal. Oakland-based Twenty Two Shoes believes in quality craftsmanship and sustainability that contribute to the longevity of both their products and the environment. All Twenty Two Shoes merchandise is handcrafted by a small family-run business.

Personally, I didn’t jump on the bandwagon with this trend, but if you’ve been struck by the gladiator itch, scratch it now while they’re on sale for $154 (from $220). After all, if you must indulge in a passing trend, it’s best to do it green. And if, by chance, I’m wrong and this look is here to stay, you’ll have a beautifully-made sandal that will withstand the passing seasons.
