The whole point of this is that Tevas were worn at a nice party in a beautiful restaurant, not hiking, not carving, not milling around at the beach, but in an elegant surrounding at a fairly fancy party. Clothing is like food, sometimes what you eat and how and why you eat it is merely functional, easy, comfortably. Then there is DINING where to consume is more than just a needed function or a matter of comfort or convenience, no it is a reflection of art, style, grace, culture and class. It is done out of the sheer elegance, grandeur and enjoyment that we can, and should want to occasional experience in life. It's NOT just a plate of fries and a pair of old sneakers! :roll:
