On a superficial level, I love that the Aldo sandal is a more elevated gladiator shoe ... out my sneakers this summer for the Jomali ankle-strap sandals. What really steals the show, however ...

Get it. These gladiator-inspired sandals come with long, thin straps to wrap around your calf or ankle. They are made of durable faux leather and have a plush insole for all-day adventures.
