There are a million articles of clothing we can think of spending a thousand dollars on — the Prada Trembled Blossoms bag, a couple of large Hermès scarves or a new silk dress by Marc Jacobs, perhaps. But a pair of gladiator sandals?
We'd rather save on those — the Balenciaga originals would set us back more than just one grand, anyway — and pick up this version by homegrown shoe retailer B2.
They come the closest to the knee that we could find from a Canadian company and are available in gold or brown. Plus, they zip up the back, so putting on your gladiators, which are sure to become a summer staple, is less of a time commitment than it looks, giving you more time to actually show them off.
$348 at Browns Shoes/B2 stores nationwide or visit www.brownsshoes.com to buy online.
