Actually I don't think the gladiators are a trend thats going out any time soon. They have been around for the past 2 seasons and still look great and fresh. I would just buy the ones you like. They look really nice and Sigerson Morrison is good quality.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to buy those, but I just can't spend that much on a pair of shoes right now.
galligator thanks so much for finding all of those! I looked online for upwards of an hour and couldn't find anything that was black and white woven, it was either one color or the other! Lol. I'll check out those brands for sure.
