Great picture. As a native Long Islander, I’m trying to figure out where this was taken.
The rocky sand would suggest somewhere along the North Shore, the shoes are screaming Fire Island

'Nassau Point', if that's any help? I also found this little bit of info about the sandals. Although it does read a little bit like the Two Ronnies 'Four Candles' sketch 
Albert Einstein and David Rothman, Nassau Point, Long Island, NY - Summer 1939
The man pictured with Einstein above is David Rothman, and he was the one responsible for selling Einstein the fancy footwear back in 1939. From Chuck Rothman’s “Albert Einstein’s Long Island Summer”:
In the summer of 1939, Albert Einstein spent his summer on Nassau Point, in Peconic, NY on eastern Long Island. My grandfather, David Rothman, was the owner of Rothman’s Department Store in nearby Southold. One June day, Einstein came into the store. Of course, my grandfather recognized him at once. He decided, though, to treat him just like any other customer.
“Are you looking for something in particular?” My grandfather asked
“Sundials,” Einstein said in his thick German accent.
Now, Rothman’s has always had a large variety of items, just about everything from housewares, to fishing tackle and bait, to hardware, to toys, to appliances. But no sundials. Not for sale, anyway. But…
“I do have one in my back yard,” my grandfather said.
He led Einstein - who seems a bit bewildered - to the back yard, to show him the sundial.
“If you need one you can have this.”
Einstein took one look and began to laugh. He pointed to his feet.
“No. Sundials.”
Sandals. Now those, he had.
Ah, Peconic! About an hour east of where I grew up'Nassau Point', if that's any help? I also found this little bit of info about the sandals. Although it does read a little bit like the Two Ronnies 'Four Candles' sketch
