A gladiator was a Roman entertainer who fought an opponent for the amusement of a crowd. Sometimes he was a slave, prisoner of war, or free man, and he fought either people or animals.

Would you chose to be Gladitor?

No. They were men who were taken a slaves when they fought battles with Rome and lost. Most never made it out of the slavery and died in the arena. The few who didn't earned their freedom and accolades for winning the matches in the arena. It was a hard life.

I bought a silver-grey puffball dress with a black belt at the waist then bought dark grey-almost black gladiator type high heeled shoes but the guy who worked there said they didnt go help please?

I say for the dress you bought try a pop of color that will bring out the dark colors in the dress, but since yours is black and grey all over you can do any color shoes, and any type. But depending on what your body type of the legs are you need to watch was type. So lets say you had short skinny, or chunky legs then U would say about 2-4 inch heel that is wrap around,buckle,or wedge, and a pump to. If you are tall and have either type of the leg types i listed above then you can go with any kind of shoe except a peep toe because usually the hole in the front for the peep of the toes they usually make you look like you are tall and trying to bust out of your shoe, and the longing of the legs that you alreayd have has a tendency to make them look to long. If you are also tall and you want to make your self look shorter then go with a 1-2 inch heel or a flat that has sequins on them to add definition to your feet and the flat make you flat on the floor as long a well make you look 2-3 inchs shorter. But gladitor heels usually go with any body type. So Im sure you look just fine.. So go with the outfit you bought and im sure you will look extourdinary women. Hope it helped if any more fashion emergencys im here to help.lol. Sierra Husk aka whatever2all.
