Ever since I was young, I've had a thing for Ancient Greek mythology. I had a book on all the Gods and Goddesses and Hercules was one of my favorite Disney movies (still is.) As I've gotten older, I've forgotten most of what I'd learned, it may be time for a refresher...if I could only find that book!  But now, thanks to Ancient Greek Sandals, I can show my love with clothes...shoes specifically!  And we all know how much I love unique shoes!
I first discovered them through, who else, Net-a-Porter; while checking the What's New section I saw sandals with WINGS on them: AWESOME!  Since then, I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair.  My first attempt, the Nephele, which I got on sale at Shopbop, was a bust.  They don't make half sizes and I got a size too small, and were also a little weird to put on because of all the straps.  That let me know two things:

1. Go a size up, and
2. Even though a lot of straps look cool, they are hard to wear!  

I finally decided on the Ikaria sandal which took me a while because I couldn't pick a color (see this Instagram.) I went with natural because it would match everything - see all the available colors at the Ancient Greek Sandals website. I was so excited when they finally arrived, the leather is SUPER soft and comfortable and I can see myself wearing these for years to come. I imagine they'll only get better as they age.


Enough chattering, time for the photos!

All the sandals are hand-made to order in Greece when you place an order directly from their website.  Because of this it takes 14-30 days for them to arrive. So if you like a pair on the website and don't want to wait that long just do a quick search to see if they are available at any other retailers.  Below are some more I would love to add to my closet. Now my problem will be to not buy every single pair.
