Just when I thought footless tights were the most pointless fashion item ever invented, yesterday's Observer proves me wrong.
Gladiator sandals (especially the knee-high ones).
I mean, why? What is the point of something with more buckles than you have energy to do up? Remember, these are summer footwear. Summer is a very hot season, when you really do not want to spend ages fiddling with buckles!
And what occasion would the sandals be required attire for?
1. Beat up Christians night?
2. Biblical fancy dress?
Seriously, what bright spark poncey designer person thought that these were a good idea? They're not exactly filling a gap in the market, even if there is an impressionable Chav who thinks "I've always wanted a pair of them!"
But then, the Impressionable Chav and Fool market is precisely what they are aiming for.

Can you imagine the strange pattern when you get sunburnt between the straps! Zebra legs or what!!!
Flipflops (or thongs as the fashion world now call them) are my summer footwear of choice! Last year I spent a rainy day in London wearing them and my feet felt great! Better than wet shoes and socks anyday!
