What's hot in womens sandals changes from season to season, and with each style comes a new set of rules.
One criticism of gladiator boots and sandals is that, unless your legs are very slim or you are tall, they can shorten the leg or make the calf look chunky. Sandals that end at the mid-calf disect the leg at its widest point. This length is best balances out with a high-heel. Knee-high gladiators give the appearance of longer legs more than those which end at the mid-calf. They complement a simple mini dress or sexy shorts.
Avoid sandals made of sweat-inducing plastic, rubber or fake leather.Look for cotton or other absorbent linings. Or soak up excess sweat with absorbent insoles, such as new Summer Soles.
