At first, we really liked the whole gladiator sandal trend. They we sleek, sexy and had a little bit of a naughty look to them, which we liked. Shoes should be sexy, and the multiple straps and leg-enhancing style of these sandals really sealed the deal.

But somewhere along the line, this trend went from fabulous to overdone. Before you knew it, the shoes were overtaking the entire outfit instead of complimenting it. Now, we are all for shoes that make the outfit, but they still shouldn't be the entire focus of the look.

We also think that the look is being abused in the way it is being used. Nicole Richie wearing it with jeans – that almost hides the sandals and takes away the sexiness. Wearing them with jean shorts like Lindsay Lohan makes them too casual.

Wearing them like Ashley Olsen, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Heidi Klum is how this look is supposed to be done. It shows off the leg, improves the outfit and make the women look great.

We are on the fence about the sandals – they are overused and overexposed but when worn correctly they still float our boat. So for now, this trend is a keeper, just make sure you don't start wearing them with track suits or leggings.
