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 Polka Dot Flip Flops.
The flip flop is not the only type of thong sandal. Other types exist, many of which are dressier and more formal than simple flip flops. A basic thong sandal is held on the foot by a strip that fits between the first and second toes and is connected to a strap usually passing over the top or around the sides of the foot. Some thong sandals have a strap that forms a loop around the first toe. However, many different additions and variations of straps are possible. Thong sandals come in a variety of styles such as women's heels, slides, and wedges, or kitten heels. Select this link to view our Striped Thongs.
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 Miscellaneous Holiday Ornaments.
