@don't know 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)
@Tevas and Birkenstocks 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.
@uck 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…
@Tevas 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.
@Anonymous 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!
@meh 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
@There is little 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.

@CUZ I’M RIGHT!
… and fashion is for douche-bags

@reefs are so much better than tevas
@reefs!!! best flip flops I ever owned, and I am loath to admit that I ever even owned flip flops.
@Anonymous texas. if it weren’t for scarface, the geto boyz, and devin the dude, the state would have nothing of value.
@i feel the need to point out... …that there are full on TEVAS
http://www.teva.com/ProductDetails.aspx?g=w&categoryID=425&productID=4259&model=Terra+Fi+3

http://www.teva.com/ProductDetails.aspx?g=w&categoryID=425&productID=4253&model=Ventura+Cork+2+Wedge+Rialto
i’m not quite sure what they’re trying to do. maybe make adjustable velcro straps fashionable?
@Anonymous those are amazingly hideous
@Anonymous i don’t like anything that is Texas. including texans
@Texan I don’t like anything that too closely resembles the word TEXAS…namely taxes and tevas
@In Quebec we wear our tevas with socks.
@Anonymous chacos, anyone?
@chacononymous YES
@Chaco fan Yes

@Anonymous oh please. Teva’s in NYC? Silly. But when you’re, you know, actually engaging with nature, Teva’s=amazing.
@what about Birkenstocks?
Birkenstocks > Tevas
@as others have noted those are vibram five fingers. the theory goes that those things are better for your feet than real shoes.
@PS: Those sandals in the picture? Not Tevas.
@There is little 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.
@Tevas are utterly and completely horrible. Do please avoid.
@Old... I have had a pair of Teva sandals since age 12…
@Tevas are utterly and completely horrible. Please avoid.
@Anonymous those are definitely vibram five fingers in the picture.
@Anonymous agreed.
@YES: I am definitely wearing my pair of Tevas right now as I type this.
