The roman sandals we see on celebs and in stores are typically very masculine in style with their thick straps, flat soles, metal hardware and all. Being that they ARE inspired by the footwear of land-conquering and civilization-vanquishing Romans, we don’t really expect these sandals to look even the least bit soft and sweet.
But what if someone made roman sandals that did?
There are other roman sandals styles out there and they CAN be feminine. Check out these sandals with the girliest embellishments such as ribbons, bows, ruffles, and (gasp!) hearts:
A gold suede rope tie adorns the straps and each step you take will leave a heart-shaped mark on the ground. These cute Bandit Sandals from Naughty Monkey are $69.94 at Zappos.com.
Even the pyramid studs couldn’t detract from femininity of the slim sole and the thin straps. The tiered ruffle effect of the ribbon loops are a nice touch. These Roberto Cavalli T90032 Sandals are on sale, now $400 at Zappos.com.
Chie Mihara Shoes Wonder Suede Flat Sandals
How much more sweet can bows of ribbons get? We know: you make them tiny and call them baby bows. A-bow-able. These Wonder Suede Flat Sandals from Chie Mihara Shoes are $380.00 on Shopbop.com.
Find us a pair of roman sandals with unicorns or rainbows on them and this list would be complete.
