44 Gladiator-Inspired Shoe Styles

Spartan Shoes From Strappy Stilettos to Greek God Sneakers

— March 22, 2013 — Fashion
Now that spring has finally come, it is the ideal time to strap on some Spartan shoes and call out a battle cry to the day. Be sure to charge into that cool and pleasant weather with a style that has lasted through the ages.

The best way to tell the difference between Spartan shoes and a normal pair is the amount of straps. Gladiator-inspired shoes usually have multiple straps that typically run up the ankle almost to the knee.

These shoes look fantastic with a pair of shorts or a skirt. An even better and more historically accurate way to rock them is with a toga. Usually togas are only reserved for toga parties, but now maybe you have another excuse.
