Balenciaga and other 'Open-Toe' Gladiator Boots

At last, a pic of my most 'sought after, coveted' footwear of Spring Summer 2008. The elusive and very expensive Balenciaga 'Open-Toe' Gladiator Boots. The heel is exposed as does the toe area. Very cool and unique.

Have also post pics of other alternatives. The left shoe is from oo44 , the middle Giuliano Fujiwara and right shoe from Miu Miu.

I got this image from a Japanese magazine called Huge.
