What was Einstein’s mentality when he wore women’s shoes?

Einstein once said that if he had not become a physicist, he would have become a shoe model. The photo below may reflect what Einstein said back then:

This photo was taken in 1939 when Einstein was on vacation at the beach. As can be seen in the photo, Einstein appears to be wearing women's sandals. There is also an interesting origin of Einstein’s shoes.

When Einstein went to a department store to buy shoes, the store owner David Rothman recognized Einstein at a glance. After all, Einstein was already a well-known physicist at the time. Einstein wanted to buy a pair of sandals, but his English accent was so thick that the shopkeeper mistook the word "sundahls" for "sundial". The shop owner said he had it in his backyard. So the shop owner asked Einstein to go to the backyard and show him the sundial. Einstein laughed after seeing it. He pointed to his feet. What he wanted to buy was not a sundial. In the end, Einstein bought a pair of white sandals for $1.35 in this store, and took a photo with the store owner Rothman on the beach:

In addition, Einstein also wore More unrestrained shoes:

Einstein didn’t like wearing socks because his toes would often prick them. Whenever Einstein couldn't find his own sandals, he always put on his wife's shoes.

What Einstein wore was just personal preference, and in different eras, everyone’s aesthetic concepts were also different. Back then, high heels originated from men's shoes. Nowadays, high heels have become a symbol of women.

Today, let us get to know Einstein again.

Picture 1. Einstein was so handsome when he was young

People who knew Einstein well will mention in their memories: Einstein’s face when he was young was simply Can make the whole world sigh!

In some of Einstein's private letters that have been published, it is mentioned that he had six mistresses. If it is not written in the letter, there is no way to know.

(Note: The original of this love letter once appeared at the Sotheby's auction house in the United States for a high price of 900,000 US dollars.)

Can you believe that this is the great scientist Einstein? A letter to his lover?

Moreover, not long after Einstein married his first wife, Mileva, who was also a scientist, he filed for divorce, and after being rejected, he proposed an almost "master-servant relationship" The couple's agreement included Mileva giving up all personal relationships and serving Einstein wholeheartedly.

Since ancient times, talented people have always been romantic. From this look, Einstein is really like a "scumbag" The word "male" is not far away.

Studies have shown that even when Einstein was not a "dressmaker," he almost never wore socks.

Because his feet are big and his toes are even longer, it is especially easy for his socks to burst when he wears them. Therefore, this unruly scientist at heart chose not to wear socks, and preferred to choose shoes that are easy to put on and take off.

Women's sandals and Mary Jane shoes are both Einstein's favorites.

Picture 5. Einstein wearing his beloved Mary Jane shoes

< p> Even Einstein wore Mary Jane shoes when he and Rabindranath Tagore met for the first time.

Figure 6. Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore’s first meeting (wearing Mary Jane shoes)

Pay attention to the look in the eyes of the great master Rabindranath Tagore: I don’t dare to ask; Yazi who dare not say anything.

Einstein’s second wife, who was also his cousin: Elsa, liked to wear high heels and sandals.

So when Einstein was traveling, walking, or on vacation, he often He put on the lady's shoes and went out. In addition, the information mentioned in the second point that he has big feet, long toes, and often pierces his socks also comes from the private correspondence between Einstein and his second wife, Elsa.

Get it as comfortable as you want, as simple as you want, otherwise the theory of relativity would be possible

Einstein hated wearing socks, and he didn’t have to when he gave a lecture at Oxford University in the 1930s. Wear your socks with great pride. Einstein said his aversion apparently stemmed from childhood feelings: "As a child I noticed that my big toe always made holes in my socks." "So I stopped wearing socks." As an adult, he usually wore undershirts, Loose trousers tied with a rope and a pair of (sometimes women's) sandals.

Judging from some history, basically most of the masters who are called geniuses have habits that are different from ordinary people. This is not surprising. Otherwise, how can they become genius masters?

To answer this question, we might as well analyze Einstein’s living habits and personality from multiple angles:

First of all, Einstein was a humorous person. His humorous side can be seen when participating in various public occasions. At a banquet to welcome Einstein (and himself), many prestigious social elites came. The men were all in suits and ties, and the women were all baring their shoulders. After attending his own welcome banquet, when he returned home, his wife asked him how the people present today were dressed. Einstein answered truthfully, but when answering the question of what the lady was wearing, Einstein said, "Since then, They were wearing nothing on the table, but what about under the table? Well, I didn’t dare to look!”

Einstein didn’t like wearing socks. He found that his big toe would always make a hole in his socks! , and then he decided not to wear socks again. When he couldn't find his own sandals in the summer, he would take his wife's strappy shoes and wear them.

Einstein liked walking, walking, and especially smoking pipes. He did not care about his dress and grooming. He would only dress up briefly when attending formal occasions. This phenomenon was observed in Einstein. Stan was very noticeable in his later years because his hair was always flowing.

The photo circulating on the Internet of Einstein wearing women's sandals at the beach has this origin:

Once Einstein went to Insole to buy shoes, but he couldn't find them. It was suitable, so he chose this pair of white strappy women's sandals, which was inseparable from his habit of wearing his wife's sandals. After buying the sandals, the shop owner knew Einstein's identity and became a great physicist. Einstein is almost a household name in the United States, so we took a photo with Einstein on the beach as a souvenir.

Einstein wearing women's sandals does not mean that Einstein has any peculiar psychology. Judging from Einstein's daily living habits, Einstein is a casual person. Sticking to the conventional rules of life, judging from his character, wearing women's sandals is not surprising to everyone.

Personal opinion, comments welcome, I am Science Fiction Shipyard, thank you everyone for reading and paying attention!

The great scientist Einstein's character was inherently humorous and easily integrated with the general public. Compared with the impression of other stereotyped scientists, he is more likeable and easy to accept.

As a public figure, Einstein's every move will attract much attention, not to mention that he wore a pair of women's high-heeled sandals
