Flip flops are a type of sandal that is characterized by a floppy sole that slaps against the heel of the foot when walking making a "flip flop" sound.
A common misconception is that a flip flop must be a thong sandal - (a sandal that has a strap that connects to the sole between the large and next toe.) However, any sandal capable of "flipping and flopping" qualifies as a flip flop.
