Best Answer

Flip flops, fashioned after Japanese footwear called "zoris", are held onto the foot by two thongs that rise from the side of the sole and meet and attach to the sole between the first and second toe of the wearer. Sandals are footwear of the type worn in the Roman Empire. They are usually manufactured of leather, and are held onto the foot by several thongs across the instep, and a strap behind and above the heel of the wearer.
