.Tevas are apparently the trendiest shoes of the year so far.
Much like death and taxes, owning a pair of Teva sandals is inevitable. Since the brand’s founding in 1984 by geophysicist and avid rafter Mark Thatcher, the Velcro-strapped sandal has been worn by fashion designers, CEOs, outdoors people, and more.
