Mmm Jude Law. Is that from Rage?
"Today a young man [...] realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration...that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively...there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.”-Bill Hicks
“What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster.” East of Eden by Steinbeck
Well, we know he was smart, so why shouldn't he prefer ladies sandals on the beach?
And I don't think it's a doctored photo. The shading is correct, and the second photo by Byanca has him wearing the same outfit.

I am a bit of a science nerd, and have seen that picture reprinted many times, over several decades. Never presented as anything other than a casual portrait of Einstein on vacation, or whatever. I am pretty sure from this that it is NOT a Photoshop job (it existed long before that technology was available, and mechanically retouched pictures are much easier to detect), and also that it was fairly normal weekend attire for Einstein, who was hardly known for being either a conformist or a fashion plate. I suspect the beach sandals may have been considered more unisex than feminine at the time and in the place where that photo was taken. There are several other pictures in existence of him crossing his legs that way, so I think that was just normal and comfortable for him as well. All in all, he has always come across to me as a guy who was occupied with much more subtle and important thoughts than how his physical image would be perceived by the world, so he just did whatever was most comfortable and low-maintenance.
