Splurge vs. Steal: Black and White Woven Gladiator Sandals

If you fancy Balenciaga’s black and white woven gladiator boot but are a wee bit unsure about committing to a pair and the likely sky high price tag, then perhaps these sandals by Sigerson Morrison will do. They’re a tad understated and wearable while retaining the black and white weave details similar to the high end designer label. However, $495 is not really a steal when compared to Balenciaga’s $700 price tag so it depends on your preference. Proceed with caution though and buy only if you really, really love. Then be prepared to wear them with bright florals. Otherwise, don’t.

I could have had the Gladiator Balenciaga’s for like 70 bucks in turquoise last summer and I didn’t get them because I didn’t think I could get away with wearing them for this summer.
I feel like such a fool :’(
