I wore my Sofft Rena gladiator sandals to church this Sunday (insert Moses or Roman Centurion-sandal joke here). No, I'm not doing penance--the straps don't cut into my toes OR feet at all. In fact these are some of the most cushioned gladiators in the shoe world today. After a day in the ring chasing after my two active lion cubs, my feet came out unscathed. Need more info about fit and feel? Read my review of the Sofft Rena from last summer.
What's the best news? The Sofft Rena is now $42 at 6pm.com. If you can't find your size, try one of Sofft's updates on the gladiator for summer '09.
