When it comes to shoes, I tend to find a pair I like and then subsequently wear the sh*t out of them until they fall apart. Usually that happens after about two years, but in the case of my Sam Edelman sandals, they've been going strong for six years and are showing no signs of slowing down. If you don't haveyet, then kindly sit back, relax, and allow me to convince you to join the club .
They've survived hellish morning commutes on the subway, international travel adventures . . . and miles-long Spring walks around the Big Apple. I bought my first pair of Sam Edelman shoes — the Ginger Studded Gladiator Sandals in a gunmetal color — back in 2013. With three ankle straps, a back zipper, studded detailing, and that signature brown leather footbed with the brand's namesake in gold script font, the sandals were instantly added to my weekly — nay,, but the strappy sandals wound up becoming my go-to for far more than house parties and bar crawls.
