Top 5 Picks for Gladiator Sandals with Shields

Now here’s a gladiator sandal trend that’ll really gear us up for the battlefield: gladiators with shields.

Of course the “shields” are really extra wide or extra long leather panels that cover the foot, but it just goes so much better with the whole warrior theme that gladiators have got going on, doesn’t it? And besides, if you want to be the best-looking fashion warrior out there, you’ve got to be completely armored from head to sword to shield.

Here are the AllGladiatorSandals’ top 5 picks for the most “fightingest” gladiators:

1. Calvin Klein Stasia

These Calvin Klein Stasias are a staggering 4 inches high, but the platform sole and the wedge heel make them a breeze to walk in. $93.00 down from $135.00.

2. BCBGeneration Uma

Yes, we’ve seen this style on a lot of other gladiator sandals before, but these BCBGeneration Umas have got one of the widest leather panels out there. Plus they sparkle and shine too. Now only $63.16, originally $78.95.

3. Robert Clergerie Sindian

I am loving the mirrored silver leather color on these sandals and the way the straps are sewn on top of each other so they resemble actual armor. Robert Clergerie Sindian, $665.00 marked down to $320.00.

4. Vera Wang Lavender Label Heidi Shield Platform Sandals

Vera Wang really named these gladiator sandals under her Lavender Label the Heidi Shield Platform Sandal. Click on the link or the picture above to check out the interesting distress treatment done to the stacked heel. $295.00, also available in “Nakid” (obviously a nude color).

5. Report Signature Randolph Pebbled Leather Platform Sandal

Seen on the feet of young Hollywood trendsetter Vanessa Hudgens, these Report Signature Randolph Paneled Platform Sandals are surprisingly affordable. These lovelies are available for purchase for just $185.00.
