Ugg and Teva's new mashup 'sandals' are confusingly impractical
Ah, Ugg boots and Teva sandals: both so, so ugly and far too familiar.
Despite this, the two brands have paired up to create two Ugg-Teva hybrids that look so ridiculous we can hardly imagine where you'd wear them.
While both brands share their key quality of unattractiveness, they are opposites in a lot of other ways.

Ugg boots are warm, impractical slippers designed for winter, yet somehow, they're always in style. Tevas are highly practical sandals, ideal for summer weather, and they are definitely not stylish.
The Teva X Ugg Sandal is surely not appropriate for your typical sandal-wearing destinations or weather.
The shoe is basically a Teva sandal accessorized with with two slabs of fuzzy Ugg materials – on top of the foot and covering the achilles.
The Teva X Ugg Hybrid is more of an Ugg boot with some Teva-like cutouts.
These boots are the opposite of a mullet: business in the back, party in the front.
WHY would you ever need your ankles coated in so much fur, but your toes and arches so exposed?
The only situation that these boots are perfect for are when you get a pedicure in the winter and it's too cold outside to wear your flip-flops home, but you don't want to ruin your nails.
Ugg X Teva shoes are available on both company's websites. The sandals retail at $175, and the hybrids go for $225.
The mashup's slogan is "Suspend your disbelief." Sorry, but we will not. We are in disbelief.
