I am very picky about shoes and I hate these. They look clunky for some reason. (I also hate wedges.)

Thank god someone said it. I HATE the gladiator sandal or any flat sandal that has ankle straps. Talk about unflattering on my tree trunks.

Also never been a fan of the wedges especially those damn espadrille ones. I feel like they make people look like they are trying too hard to look young or something.

I hate these. They are the most unflattering things on the planet. Have you seen the ones that go all the way up to your frigging knees? Yes, knee-high gladiator sandals. The worst of the worst.

Oh barf. reclaimingmisshavisham, I too am glad someone has put themselves out there saying they don't like theam. I was beginning to think I was just going to have to hold my breath whenever someone gushed about their hot gladiator sandals. I didn't like them the first time around years ago, nor do I like them now, matey!

Out on a limb here but I do like wedges...not the 'spadrilly kind or the sandwich kind if you live in Connecticut but the corky kind (I know, I know, maybe last year) but I do. I'm going to invoke Fiorentini+Baker's wedge and Roberto del Carlo's wedge, more of a platform wedge but wedge just the same. Because with my chunk-o legs they give me height and proper proportion.

But can I say that the word 'wedge' is on my top ten list of worst words to have say out loud? It's up there with lozenge, muffin, baulbous, and Regina.

They look like training sandals for those who can't pull off a real sandal.....

And that silver pair - Jeeeez, they look terribly orthopedic - just add a spongy sole and advertise them in the Sunday paper inserts...........!!

One of my least favorite words is insert. Think about it, it is really only used when referring to ATMs or tampons.

Dear God, those shoes would make Nicole Richie's ankles look like Lindsey Lohan's (which means they'd make mine look like Rosie O'Donnell's).
On my least favorite word list:
moist
turd
Especially when put together.

Amen to the ugly on this set of shoes. Who designed them anyway? Obviously someone who wants all women who wear these to look stumpy, short and like they just came back from a Toga party.

A boycott for this style shoe is in order.

agree, agree, agree seleta. stumpy. that's exactly what they do to a woman not blessed with long thin legs. which would be me.

to add to that list of words:
lover

So this post had been rolling around in my head all weekend and then, it came to me: why on earth are these (let's face it) fashion disasters STILL around? Seriously? Three years and going?

I'm all for the boycott- is someone adept at pin making? Make banners? Armbands, or, perhaps more appropriatly, (c)ankle bands that read "free me!"!? Alright, enough..
