The Olsen sisters have long been a source of fashion inspiration, with their ensembles offering a wealth of style secrets. Their choice of footwear, in particular, has set trends and redefined comfort – led classics. Brands like The Row, under their influence, have elevated simple designs, such as the flip – flop, to high – end status. The twins have frequently been photographed wearing casual yet iconic shoes like slip – on Vans, Adidas Sambas, and Birkenstock Bostons, demonstrating their penchant for footwear that combines practicality and style.
One such shoe that has gained significant attention thanks to the Olsens is the Tevas Voya Infinity sandals. Mary – Kate Olsen was seen wearing these sandals with statement crossover straps multiple times in 2019. Even six years later, her endorsement continues to have an impact. During last week’s heatwave, Vogue editors noticed an increase in praise for Tevas, and the sandals have been spotted on numerous Lime bikes, indicating their growing popularity. Celebrities like Demi Moore and Katie Holmes have also been sporting Tevas for several summers, suggesting that these sandals are set to remain a best – seller for yet another year.
Tevas have a unique origin story, born when a river guide attached two Velcro watch straps to a pair of flip – flops to make them float, emphasizing their practical and hardwearing nature. Beyond the fashion world, the brand has a loyal non – fashion following, with people wearing them for actual outdoor activities like hikes. The recent trend towards “gorpcore” and functional fashion has further highlighted the appeal of Tevas. As former Vogue editor Steff Yotka declared in 2019, based on search data from Lyst, Tevas were the shoe of the summer. Her statement, “Much like death and taxes, owning a pair of Teva sandals is inevitable,” still rings true in 2025. Tevas have transitioned from a passing trend to a timeless classic, standing alongside other popular summer footwear options like Birkenstock Arizonas and flip – flops, appealing to a wide demographic due to their practicality.
