What happens when you cross two hot shoe trends like the wedge and the gladiator? You get the Giuseppe Zanotti I90107 Gladiator Wedges, of course. Giuseppe Zanotti has been cranking out some sensational shoes in the last couple of seasons, and although I’m not a huge fan of this look, this pair is very well done. They originally retailed for $705, and while they may be a couple hundred dollars less now, that’s still a considerable investment for a shoe that can only be worn during playtime, if you will.

Dollhouse “Bina” Wedge Sandals
UPDATE (05/28/2010): Another great and budget-friendly alternative to the original Zanottis are these wedge sandals by Dollhouse. Available in black or brown.

Kelsi Dagger “Juno” Wedge Sandals
UPDATE (06/10/2010): InTheirCloset reader Tex from Fashion Butter loved these Kelsi Dagger wedges so much she had her brother order them for her from the States, so she could flaunt them in beautiful Greece. Check out her blog to see how these Zanotti look-a-likes translate into real life and leave her a comment while you’re at it. Let’s just say I want a pair now, too! Thanks, Tex! 
Wanna try the gladiator wedge look this spring? You should. There’s nothing better than fashion experiments, I say, and I don’t think you can go wrong with the “Juno” Wedge by Kelsi Dagger. It’s practically a twin of the higher-priced Zanotti wedge, and at under $150, not so hard on the wallet. Plus, doesn’t it look comfy? We all need a break from our arch-busting stilettos at some point.

ooo I find myself strangely attracted to these as well!
Tex…please let us know how they are if you get them!
Well, I ordered them … two months ago. I am still awaiting a little package from my lazy brother. He is holding my shoes hostage!
Will make sure to link back to ITC when I post about them.
