History of Flip Flops.
In footwear and fashion, flip flops or thongs are a flat, backless, usually rubber sandal consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap that passes between the first (big) and second toes and around either side of the foot. They appear to have been developed based on traditional Japanese woven or wooden soled sandals. Select this link to view our Poinsettia Sandals.
Flip flops have a style of their own, different from other types of shoes. These dressier versions of the thong sandal are often made of leather, suede, patent leather, metallic finishes, fabric and other textiles. Based on prevailing fashion, they are sometimes embellished with buckles, jewelry, fringes, medallions and beading. Select this link to view our Striped Thongs.
