Love them or hate them, gladiator sandals are everywhere right now. Whether you want to show off your newly painted toenails or rock a bit of a boho chic kind of look then a pair of gladiators are the thing to go for.

But if you don’t want to follow the crowd – here are a couple of looks that’ll keep you cool without having to go glad!

Try these sandals on for size – with beaded detail, they are a pretty alternative to the classic strappy design which you can see all over the shelves in Topshop. These ones have been popular this season as Office’s online store is down to it’s last few pairs, at £55 reduced from £110, don’t be the one to miss out…

Or, you could check out these nautical sailor style espadrilles,  navy blue are my favourite colour from the choice of red and white alternatives and with a stitched on anchor as a quirky feature I think these really are a bit of fun. For only £15 these are an absolute must-have for a hot holiday as they will come in handy when you want to save your feet from the hot sand.

Or if you want a pair of slip on shoes for walking round and seeing the sights on a city break then these gorgeous pumps are to be snapped up immediately! I spied these a while ago when they were full price and now they have hit the sale I think I’m going to have to treat myself. These are a definite winner for this weeks bargains, at £20 who says that looking like Carrie Bradshaw has to be expensive?!
