In the U.S. no. It is a common urban legend that driving barefoot or with certain kinds of shoes is illegal, but that is untrue, at least in most U.S. states.
Ill-advised, but not illegal.
Yes, it is illegal to drive in flip flops in Louisiana.
Driving while wearing flip flops is not recommended. Sneakers and boots offer the most protection and traction while driving. It is not illegal to drive wearing flip flops but it is not the safest footwear to drive with. The front of the flip flop can get caught on the gas or brake pedal and cause a dangerous situation. Even though it is illegal, I find it more comfortable and safer to just drive barefoot when I am wearing flip flops.
Yes it is illegal
It is not illegal, but it is not recommended to drive in flip flops as they can slip off the feet very easily. There is a further explanation from the Canada Safety Council in related links.
It's a myth that driving barefoot/in sandals/flip-flops/high heels etc is illegal. There is absolutely no motoring law in the UK that specifies footwear.

Flip Flops are shoes
Flip flops are cool, but not in December.
In general flip flops are safe to wear while driving. However they can become a danger if they slip off and get wedged under the gas pedal or brake pedal. Wearing them while driving is not recommended.
"yes & its illegal to drive in flip-flops." Wrong. It is perfectly legal to drive barefoot or in flip-flops. I personally wouldn't recommend flip-flops because it can get caught in the pedals. If you do I recommend you take them off and drive barefoot and move them as far away from the pedals as possible References: http://www.barefooters.org/
My reef flip flops squeak with every step I take also, I like the flip flops except for the squeak. Reef has a problem with the flip flops. I have no idea how to correct the squeak.
