Freshest of the Fresh Sandals From Zappos

It seems the strappy gladiator sandal is getting strappier by the day. Well, at least that’s the trend showing on Zappos’ table of fresh arrivals at the moment. Three out of the seven latest gladiator sandals to arrive have ultra-strappy and bootie-style spelled on it.

Steven Whiley, US$139

MICHAEL Michael Kors Gwen Bootie, US$140

What do you think? Is Zappos on the right track with these trendy footwear?

Well, I definitely think so. Seeing SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Kate Bosworth in their strappy and lacy sandal booties is one sign that Zappos IS on the right track when it comes to merchandise selection.

Kate Bosworth, May 2010

If you want to see the rest of the fresh arrivals,  don’t get too excited because it isn’t as strong and pronounced as the ones above.

Cordani Imelda, US$189

Kork-Ease Elinor, US$154

Report Alanso, US$70

These are more of classics rather than trendy pieces. Now it’s really up to you and your personality to choose between the two sets. If you think you’re into both trendy and classic, then I guess you can go for the seventh pair from the fresh arrivals – the Cole Haan Air Aster Sandal, which I think is like a cross between the two – strappy but also a little classic.
