Ugg Boots and Gladiator Sandals Love Child: The Koolaburra Aphrodite Sandals
As ugg boots and gladiator sandals have remained very popular, this was bound to happen sooner rather than later – the marriage of the two shoe styles.
Here’s their offspring and it looks exactly just like how you would imagine it:
Like something that would grow out of genitals cast out into the sea, condemned to be betrothed to a lame, ugly and deformed man, and doomed to sin, cheat and be unfaithful to her husband for the rest of her life.
Okay, comparing the Koolaburra Aphrodite to the goddess Aphrodite’s story might be going to far, but when something is named after the Greek goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, it HAS to live up to it’s name.
Well, does it?
Everything about these sandals is luxe – the Spanish merino sheepskin, the “double face” wool inner surface, its eye-popping $159.95 price tag – but that doesn’t mean that the design is too. Perhaps I’m too much of a purist and think that real sheepskin should be used only on things that are actually meant to keep you warm, and not on something like a gladiator sandal that could be made with so many other materials.
And to brag that these sandals are made of double face sheepskin means that the sheep was actually skinned to get the material. So a creature had to die for sandals like these? That just makes the Koolaburra Aphrodite sandals seem even more frivolous.
It also has a fringe version by the way, called the Koolaburra Aphrodite Fringe Sandals:
These are even more expensive at $180.00. Available at BoutiqueToYou.com.
Yes, a celebrity has been seen wearing sandals from this line. Check out Fur in the Summer? Vanessa Hudgens in Koolaburra Aurora Sandals.
