Never Throw Away a Good Gladiator!

I AM GLADIATOR!

the very traditional Gladiator with a new spin, zipped up on the back!
this golden pair which are fit for the "Roman Goddess" look!
and more metal in these Berkies...
Fisherman's Sanals which come pretty close to being "gladiator!"

modified gladiator sandals... oh yes, I think these work...
and this sueded cinnamon colored pair which also qualify...

could these qualify for gladiators? Why not!

And finally, the men who did so much for the Gladiator Shoe trend...

Russel Crowe as the "Gladiator"

and Steve Reeves as "Hercules," oh yes, you are not forgotten!

So ladies, NEVER throw away a good Gladiator!
