These funky Balenciaga Gladiator Sandal with studs are a great way to add color and street chic style to an otherwise ordinary outfit. As some of you may know, I don't wear alot of colored clothing, so I get color in my wardrobe through accessories. These shoes are perfect for me...skinny jeans, a simple top and these shoes, fabulous. Whatever way these shoes are worn, the back portion on top of the heel must be shown... it's one of the best things about this shoe. The colored studs are on suede straps and the black and white striped inserts are fabric. They have a 4.5 inch heel, and a .5 inch platform, so they will feel more like a 4 inch heel. As usual for the most fabulous shoe finds, it's at Browns. $1,097
