Why Flip Flops Are The Greatest Sandal
David Stone
The flip flop sandal is a sole that attaches to the foot with a
v-shaped thong that attaches on either side of the foot and
between the big toe and the second toe. There is no strap at the
back of the foot, so the sandal moves up and down against the
foot as you walk. This action gives the sandal the name "flip
flop" for the action. It is primarily footwear for warm beaches
and pool sides. They originate from Japanese woven sandals that
caught on in New Zealand. Flip flops are popular among young
males and females. They can be worn with any combination of
clothing because of their simplicity. The typical outfit
includes jeans and flip flops along with almost any top. In warm
climates, they are everyday attire to some people's dismay. It
appears that flip flops are seen as the most informal form of
footwear. This was made a public issue in 2005 when Northwestern
University's women's lacrosse team won the national championship
and was asked to visit the white house. Their attire included
flip flops, which was the subject of many news reports there
after. It was concluded that flip flops had made there presence
known much like when blue jeans first emerged in the mainstream
acceptability. For everyday wear, flip flops are criticized for
falling apart, particularly where the strap between the toes
meets the sole. This is due to the fact that they are originally
a beach shoe that was not worn on a regular basis. Anyone who
wished to wear flip flops everyday could purchase new ones
regularly because of their inexpensive pricing. Today, there are
many flip flops of better quality and do not fall apart for many
years. This quality has also helped the sandal become an
everyday piece of footwear. Besides style, flip flops serve
purposes of health concerns. When wearing flip flops there is a
much less chance of getting a fungal infection like athlete's
foot. It has also become standard footwear of military soldiers
and college students in communal showers where it also offers
protection against fungal infection. The flip flop is a sandal
that has stood the test of time, and it appears that they are
here to stay for now.
