What are Flip Flops?

Flip Flops are a type of flat sandals without a back, which consist of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap. The Y-shaped strap is known as a toe thong that passes between the first and second toes. The name flip-flop has been used since the 1960s by American and British people to describe the thong or no-heel-strap sandal. The term flip-flop is very interesting because it derives from the clapping sound that is produced when the shoe slaps against the heel. However, it can be called by various names in different countries. In Australia, people call this type of sandal thongs or pluggers. In Japan, it is jandals but in South Africa and Zimbabwe it can be called “ slops” or “ visplakkies”. In addition, it is vietnamki in Russia and tsinelas in the Philippines. The flip-flop is known as one of the oldest forms of footwear. This kind of footwear is lightweight and easy to remove as well as put on.

How has the evolution of Flip Flop been?

Back in 4,000 B.C, ancient Egyptian murals wore flip-flops for the first time. These flip-flops were made with papyrus and reeds. In Africa, the early flip-flops were crafted from animal hides. In India, people made this type of footwear from wooden but In China and Japan, they were constructed from rice straw.

After World War II, U.S. soldiers brought home pairs of Japanese zori ( Japan’s flip flop at that time). Gradually, flip-flops were widely used in America. However, it was not until the 1950s that U.S. manufacturers produced their own version of this type of footwear from rubber instead of rice straw. After that, flip-flops became popular footwear on casual occasions and many people can buy them due to their affordable price. Since the 1960s, flip-flops have dominated the fashion market as an accessory. Simultaneously, the term flip-flops appeared and were widely stated. 

Nowadays, flip-flops are so ubiquitous that there is a special day to wear them known as NATIONAL FLIP FLOP DAY which takes place on the third Friday in June annually. This day encourages people to wear their favorite flip-flops and show them off.

How to choose a good pair of Flip-flops?

Choose the right size

In terms of size, you should leave a little space at the end of the footbed so your heel is not hanging off the end of the flip-flops. When choosing flip-flops, you should prioritize comfort and fit, make sure that you have a fun, enjoyable summer and avoid suffering from unnecessary foot problems.

Choose based on materials

Normally, lightweight flip-flops are used indoors while those made of hard materials are intended for outdoor use.

With rubber flip-flops, they are popular for their elasticity and anti-slipping properties, which makes them ideal for different purposes.

The foam-made flip-flops are a little softer than the rubber which can be used for wearing an informal family walk.

Plastic is an easy-shaped material that is more durable than foam and rubber. But flip-flops made from this type of material are uncomfortable if you wear them long distances.

If you choose leather-made flip-flops, it is ideal because they help you feel comfortable and slightly tight. In terms of cost, you may pay more for a pair of real leather footwear, compared to other materials.

However, you can totally choose a pair of flip-flops produced from fabric that may cause the least load and irritation for the foot toes. 

Famous flip-flops brands

Flip-flops are increasingly prevalent for their casual use so it is vital to know some of the top famous brands including Sanuk, Rainbows, Havaianas, Tkees, Old Navy, etc. In particular, you can access Printerval.com to choose the right flip-flops for your own.

How to use flip-flops?

Wearing tips

Summer comes when the temperature is rising. It is the time you are ready to start wearing your favorite spring and summer footwear. Flip-flops are one of the most favorite footwear for burning days due to their comfort, affordability, and simplicity. Here are some tips to guide what you should and should not do when you wear a pair of flip-flops.

It is essential to look for a flip-flop made of high-quality, soft material because this can help you to minimize the risk for blisters and other types of irritation.

When you put flip-flops on, make sure that your toes do not hang off of the edge of the flip-flop and your ankle rests comfortably on the sole. Especially, when you walk around a public pool, at the beach, in hotel rooms, and in locker room areas, you can choose a sturdy pair of flip-flops. 

You should usually inspect older pairs for wear to avoid unexpected accidents. If there is a sign of severe wear, you should discard them. However, there are some problems happening such as irritation between toes, you should quickly alternate your footwear so that your feet do not become overly irritated.

Flip-flops are commonly used but they are not ideal for you when walking long distances and playing sports that can cause twisting of the foot or ankle, as well as sprains and breaks.

Problems when you put flip-flops on

Wearing flip-flops is comfortable and convenient but actually, this type of footwear is not always for your feet. There are several problems that you can meet when you put flip-flops on for a long time.

First of all, wearing flip-flops may lead to a lack of arch support causing inflammation and a condition called plantar fasciitis, which makes walking painful and can ultimately lead to fallen arches.

Blisters are one of the most popular issues that you usually face when using flip-flops. Because this type of footwear does not hold your feet in place very well, adding constant motion and sweat makes you develop painful blisters and calluses in your footpads and between your toes.

In addition, you may experience stress fractures in the bones of your feet when wearing flip flops as standing or walking for long periods of time can cause minute cracks in your foot bones.

In order to keep a flip flop on your foot, your toes must grasp the shoe almost constantly, which can cause tendonitis.

Sometimes, you may get pain in your knee, back, ankles, or hips. 

However, if you wear flip-flops in the right ways, you can overcome the above issues and fully enjoy your summer days with your favorite pair of flip-flops. 

Flip-flops are an indispensable summer fashion accessory and are used widely without age and social class barriers.
