Those are thongs or flip flops.
Those are sandals.
Thongs and Sandals are similar but different.
Egyptian flip flops from 3500 years ago.
I'm more likely to wear something like this
and in more recent years, this (vibram five fingers are the most comfortable, practical shoes I've ever worn)
and even newer
Maybe it's a coastal/beach thing. I grew up in FL, so barefoot or minimal footwear were the thing.
Flip flops are a gay thing? Weird. That must just be in some weird little corners of the world. |
I really tried getting into the Five Fingers, but just couldn't. They're supposed to be great for running, etc. but they've got to be the most uncomfortable things I've ever put my feet into. Played in a beach tournament down in Mexico on some sand that was notoriously full of glass, so bought them for that. Full of sand within minutes, pinky toe felt way out of whack, etc. Worst $100 I ever spent, I'd say.
