The tall gladiator sandals- love ‘em or hate ‘em?

Alright people, what do you think of these tall gladiators?  They were first introduced in 2007 but the look didn’t really take off.  Actually Mary-Kate Olsen loves them and was seen sporting the look early on, but she might have been the only one to buy a pair, or two.  These Chanel sandals were going for over $1000, but there have been some knock-offs for under $100. This look is a little too “look-at-me” and I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking down the street in them, but I do like how Mary-Kate wears them.
