The story behind the impressive sandals
Originally, Cleopatra of Egypt was the real inspiration for modern gladiator shoes. More specifically, the Stavros Melissinos designed his first ancient Greek sandal. He very often visited the Archaeological Museum of Athens for further inspiration. That is, from there he copied the designs of ancient footwear, either from statues or from representations of vases and that is how he came up with the form of his final design.
He was the first to bring the ancient Greek sandals into fashion in the modern era. His sales were great as young girls mostly from America ordered this particular design. In addition, big celebrities of the time, such as Aristotle Onassis showed great interest in the now branded sandals of Stavros Melissinos. Finally, his sandals and he himself became famous with many famous customers wearing them and he became a cult figure of the hippie generation.
Therefore, the "Cleopatra" pattern became the favourite summer shoe of women of that period.
