Insole will mold to your foot, traction outsole. It's one of the most basic items in your closet, but it has a long history. The name "flip flop" comes specifically from the sound the sandals make when they slap between the sole of your foot and the floor. This particular type of sandal originated as early as the Ancient Egyptians in 4000 BC, and the oldest known pair is on display at the British Museum from 1500 BC. This pair is made from papyrus, but just as a huge variety of cultures have worn these sandals through the years, they've used a great variety of materials. This style of footwear has been worn by the people of many cultures throughout the world, originating as early as the ancient Egyptians in 1,500 B.C. The modern flip-flop descends from the Japanese z?ri, which became popular after World War II when soldiers returning to the United States brought them back. They became popular gender-neutral summer footwear during the 1960s, 1990s, and 2000s, and some varieties have even found their way into more formal attire. Flip-flops are popular casual footwear for young adults and mature adults alike! 0
