The Hotness: Gladiator Sandal

I love this style of sandal, and I see it really taking off this year. My friends and I refer to them as "Jesus Shoes," either way, either name... they are hot! I love the shades of brown they come in. Some of the designers to design shoes in this style already are DOLCE & GABBANA, PRADA, THEORY and JOIE. Take a look at some of my picks for the summer:

"Leather Gladiator Flat" by Prada, retail price $495.00:
