Gladiator Heels

Add a Playful Element to Any Look with Gladiator Heels

Evoke a polished yet fun vibe when you walk into any event in stylish gladiator heels. Also known as cage heels, this strappy footwear usually suggests a summery feel, but the right design makes them a fashion must-have even for formal events. Browse our selection of heels for women for trendy yet comfortable gladiator-style shoes.

Gladiator sandals feature thick or thin straps, making them breathable and providing your feet with more freedom of movement. As an upgrade to flats, the heeled variety also lends a touch of glamour to otherwise casual attire. If you're dressing up for a wedding or corporate party, many styles of strappy heels look sensational with a formal dress. A stiletto contributes to a sleeker silhouette, while a stacked heel offers both height and stability. Platform gladiators also boost your height without putting all the pressure on your toes, a common issue in high pumps. A pair in a classic color with muted accents can also work in the office, adding a point of interest to your pencil skirt or pantsuit ensemble.

In most cases, gladiator wedges are easier to walk in because of how much ground surface these wide heels can cover. Wedges also allow you to stride confidently with little to no wobble, helping your balance and protecting your ankles from injury or strain. For additional comfort, most styles come with cushioned insoles to cradle your underfoot and absorb jarring steps. Gladiators are easily adjustable to conform to your ankles and feet through laces, adjustable buckles, Velcro straps, or elastic bands.
