Dear readers, I need your help once again: Today, I'm lusting after this pair of Mossimo 'Petrova' Gladiator sandals, available at Target stores for $29.99 (sadly, this style is sold out online). I tried it on over the weekend and it fits really well and it's comfortable as far as 4.25" faux-stacked heels with 3/4 inch platforms go.
The shoe has gotten great reviews, plus it's just really hot. I think. The heel is really high, so these aren't the most practical of shoes, but I feel like my wardrobe is lacking "fierce" strappy heels, ya know? I always talk myself out of getting shoes like this because I can't get much wear out of them, but for $30 maybe this is the time to go for it. On the other hand, this trendy look is everywhere, and maybe I can find a better pair.
Ok, enough rambling...what do you think? Would you get these? Should I?
hold out... i think there are more gladiator heels out there you can find.
The Simply Vera Didi Dress Heels are on sale at Kohl's for $34.99 but they're available only in dark brown and this muted gold/bronze. Not exactly comparable to Mossimo pair but there are options...
I say why not wait a little bit and try to get a similar style at filenes or marshalls or tj maxx?
The leather looks cheap and destroys the shoe for me.
I say try to find a similar heel at the stores Angela suggested or put the money towards a pair at Aldo!
A little too strappy for my liking, and the weave feels a little too funky. Also when I first looked at them, they seemed a little cheap.
the target site says that they're arriving in 2 to 6 weeks. maybe you could wait to see if they go on sale online. in the meantime, shop around for another pair.
I think these Chinese Laundry heels is similar to the Target pair, but they look fiercer. Sure, it's more than 2x of the price of the Target ones, but real leather is worth it.
