The shoes that started it all are the Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals that Sarah Jessica Parker wears in the new Sex And The City movie.
We told you about all the knock-offs we could find, but after talking with you gals about it and buying our own pair, it’s unanimous that the MADALYNN BROWN MULTI gladiators from Steve Madden are the best!!!
The brown pair definitely look the most similar to the ones SJP wears in the movie AND they are the most versatile. Because of the softness of the brown, they will look good with more things than the black pair.
Soon after the Madalynn style was introduced, Steve Madden brought us the MADDIEE BLACK PATENT gladiators. Still impressive, but a little to edgy for our taste. You can now get the Maddiee’s in 3 other colors; Gray Snakeskin Pattern
, Green snakeskin pattern
(which are really wild!), and the Purple Snakeskin Pattern
which are totally hot and sexy!
They also have a slimmed down version called the Maxii which comes in black leather and shiny pewter leather.
