    Referring to the backless sandals with strap over the base of the toes and a post between the first 2 toes... Here in the north central US they are called flip flops. My mom called them zorries, my grandmother called them thongs. I'm curious as to what name you use.

    Uncomfortable. Don't like things between my toes. Flip-flops here in Michigan, BTW.

      Round these parts, "thongs" go on a totally different body area and aren't normally seen in public ... :~ It's flip-flops for us. But please, not with socks.

        isn't that sandals? I think the spanish name for it is chanclas, some people I know call it sliders, I am not sure if that is just a nickname they gave.
