What’s the difference between flip-flops and sandals?

Flip-flops and sandals are both decorative footwear meant for warmer temperatures. Both protect the soles of the feet and leave the top portion uncovered. There are some differences between the two types of shoes, however. These differences are:

• Different shapes – A Y-shaped strap holds flip-flops to the foot loosely while sandals are firmly held to the foot by straps or thongs.
• Different heels – Flip-flops are customarily footwear with flat soles while sandals can be either flat or crafted with heels of varying heights.
• Different materials – Flip-flops are most commonly made from foam, rubber, plastics, and plastic materials. They can feature simple embellishments. Sandals are usually made from more substantial materials like cork, leather, suede, and more. Sandals cover more of the foot, depending on the style.
• Different intents – Where flip-flops can be worn is limited, as they are mostly designed to be a convenient, casual form of footwear. Typically, they can be worn in one’s home, in one’s personal time, on holidays, and more. They are not typically appropriate for wear to most jobs, formal occasions, and other events. Dressier sandals, on the other hand, can be worn in any of those settings.

How do you choose the right summer flip-flops or sandals?

The following tips can help you buy the right footwear for your upcoming summer or holiday:

• The right size – Ensuring you purchase the correct size is important. Your heel shouldn’t hang off the back of the shoe because it’s too small. A shoe that is too large will put stress on joints and bones in your feet. In warm weather conditions, the feet swell slightly and that should be taken into consideration when selecting a size. Comfort and fit should be your top priorities.
• Arch support – Since flip-flops, sandals, and beach shoes are lightweight and more flexible, sometimes arch support isn’t always prominent in the design. For the health and comfort of your feet, always select footwear with adequate arch support.
• A little heel – Having a heel or wedge can take some of the pressure off your feet. A slight heel can provide adequate cushioning and ease any pressure on your feet.
