Columbia Women's Sunrise Vent Sandal,Black/Platinum,8 M US

Romans thought they had sandals (and everything else) figured out, but we all know how that ended up. Even if our aqueduct-building skills haven't improved in 2000 years, at least Columbia has the sandal thing pretty well dialed, and the Sunrise Vent Women's Sandal is the latest proof. Made with a cushy, high-energy Techlite footbed and Omni-Grip high-traction rubber, the Sunrise doesn't really resemble Roman footwear, but we'll wager all our Denarii that you'll prefer the quick-drying, hydrophobic synthetic leather to the strappy discomfort of Caesar's favorite kicks.
