There's Nothing Saintly About These Shoes

No, no, nothing at all. With all their buckles and strappiness, these All Saints shoes are rather the opposite of saintly, so naturally I was instantly drawn to them. Also, the fact that I spent money on them when the royal coffers are well and truly empty is also rather unsaintly. (must remember to raise those pesky taxes!)

Whilst on a whole I am somewhat tired of wooden soles, I had to make an exception for these. They also come in black leather, but for some strange reason the taupe suede called out to me. And it would have been rude of me not to have listened - it's my royal duty! I intend to paint my toenails a fine shade of purple to compliment the taupe.

I absolutely loved the AMAZING Givenchy strappy gladiators. But at over 1K, they are slightly out of my price range!

Every magazine has hailed the gladiator sandal to be the style for the Spring/Summer season (and do so pretty much every spring/summer), but having always had a weakness for multi-buckled shoes, I wear them regardless of whether they are "in" or "out", and these specimens will see me through both summer and (dry) winter days.

i was looking at those in store but decided against since i would have a fine pair of shoes and no money to go anywhere in them

These shoes are lovely! They've got some great shoes at the moment actually. I was admiring a pair with an orange heel! Sounds odd, but they looked fantastic.

[diane]

i totally understand your point of view, i also love multi-buckled sandal,whether it is winter or summer, 1999 or 2034!

Very nice. I've always loved gladiator-type shoes. Brings me back to my youth.

They are an absolute delight. Every single one you pictured. Absolute delight.

LOVVVVVVVVVE.

The shoes are amazing; I looked at the black ones for awhile but I need a lower heel. Or a larger one at least. I'm terrible on high heels!

[Rachel]

Wow those shoes are heaven, they would go well with any outfit, jeans, skirts, shorts... nothing but themselves hehe those are fab shoes

Lurve the Givenchy shoes, but would rather avoid accessorising them with a nasty pair of bunions (as shown on the last picture) ...eek!

[poppy lee]

amazing shoes! i very nearly fell for the black ones the other day, but decided to get some more summery nine west ones instead. (i was in topshop - so much choice!) it's looking like a bad decision so far though, weatherwise.

the taupe look great anyway - might have to have a look into those instead post-payday.
