Stylish Gladiator Sandals - Watch for Lace Bleeding on Light Colors
These are cute gladiator-style sandals that are much easier to manage than the knee-high version I also own from this brand. They look really cool whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual with a pair of jeans. I always appreciate this brand for accommodating larger foot sizes, which can be hard to find.After one test wear, I haven't noticed any quality issues with the construction or materials. However, the laces did bleed, leaving black marks on my white tights. This isn't a big deal for me since I use these tights specifically as test garments for this purpose. Interestingly, the knee-high version I own didn't have this issue when tested with the same tights.I'd recommend wearing these with dark clothing initially, or testing them with light-colored items you don't care about to see if the laces bleed. Once any excess dye washes out through a few wears, they should be fine with lighter colors.Overall, these are stylish, well-made sandals that offer great versatility in styling. Just take the precaution of testing with darks first to avoid any unwanted color transfer on your favorite light-colored pieces.
