I was watching the news this morning and saw a teaser about spring fashions. Apparently gladiator sandals are making a comeback again this spring.

But I have to admit one thing. I just don’t get it.

What do you think of gladiator sandals? Are they hot or not? If you love them, tell us why and please do tell me how you choose to wear them (casual, formal, etc). I’m dying to know.
