A lovely spring afternoon on the Steps. A man wearing a tie-dye shirt gives some advice to a friend:
“It’s spring, so you need to get Tevas. These things are unstoppable!”

I lost some matte green Ray-Ban sunglasses during the last night of Senior Week revelry outside EC. If anyone finds them, take pity because they were the only thing that fools people into thinking that I’m cool. One delicious burrito dinner reward for their safe return. Email sar2160@columbia.edu if you know anything.

I am definitely wearing my pair of Tevas right now as I type this.
those are definitely vibram five fingers in the picture.
agreed.
are utterly and completely horrible. Please avoid.
I have had a pair of Teva sandals since age 12…
are utterly and completely horrible. Do please avoid.
I hate more than the ickiness of Teva webby sandals. We are humans, not frogs. Please clad your feet in something more pleasing to the eye.
Those sandals in the picture? Not Tevas.
those are vibram five fingers. the theory goes that those things are better for your feet than real shoes.
Birkenstocks?
Birkenstocks > Tevas
oh please. Teva’s in NYC? Silly. But when you’re, you know, actually engaging with nature, Teva’s=amazing.
can you disgustingly smell unshowered people not wear sandals to class? the kid next to me today had such stinky feet. please shower before wearing them!
my feet smell bad in sandles regardless of how recently i showered and i’m a pretty normal- to good-smelling person – i think certain types just make the feet sweat, but they’re a sign of spring…. so i say suck it up
chacos, anyone?
YES
Yes
we wear our tevas with socks.
I don’t like anything that too closely resembles the word TEXAS…namely taxes and tevas
i don’t like anything that is Texas. including texans
…that there are full on TEVAS

and then there are tevas?

i’m not quite sure what they’re trying to do. maybe make adjustable velcro straps fashionable?
those are amazingly hideous
texas. if it weren’t for scarface, the geto boyz, and devin the dude, the state would have nothing of value.
are so much better than tevas
best flip flops I ever owned, and I am loath to admit that I ever even owned flip flops.
I think tevas are pretty cute. They’ve certainly never bothered me, especially the type in the second link above. Those toe webbed-feet thing though, those are pretty creepy.
are these really that widespread? I didn’t know that anyone other than hippies and lesbians had the poor shoe-taste to wear those things. there are so many shoes that are just as comfortable but not hideous…
stop
just stop
are both hideous. That is probably why this is the only country in the world where their use is widespread. No one else in the world would be caught dead in them.
Birkenstocks, but in terms of tevas you’re straightup wrong (they’re an israeli brand and worn all over the place).
also, they’re not a fashion accessory – your comment is kind of like saying running shoes are ugly … their point is to keep your feet safe and comfortable when doing particular activities (e.g. you’d be falling on your ass the whole time trying to negotiate streams/rivers in flip flops)
Y SO SERIOUS??
I’M RIGHT!
… and fashion is for douche-bags
