Sandals are a kind of open shoes, which fix the sole on the foot through straps, clip posts or through the arch and ankle. They are shoes that can be worn by both men and women, but women have more styles. Because of its extremely simple structure, sandals are the earliest foot supplies in human history, which evolved from primitive wrappings. Sandals have appeared in ancient civilizations, and their appearance and structure look like "tying a belt or rope on a solid sole".
Sandals include a variety of styles: flat bottom, wedge heel, high heel, fish mouth, bandage, herringbone, toe covering and other styles. It is mainly worn barefoot, and it can also be matched with socks. Sometimes sandals are indistinguishable from other kinds of shoes, but it is generally believed that sandals expose most of the feet, especially the toes. Such shoes are ventilated and cool, and some simple styles are even similar to slippers; But sandals and slippers are not the same: sandals have thicker soles than slippers, more exquisite designs, more materials, and can be worn in public places such as schools and some corporate positions.
Sandals are usually worn in summer, but they can also be worn in spring and autumn. Now there are sandals specially worn in winter. In fact, wearing sandals out of season is not a taboo, or even a manifestation of avant-garde innovation; But when pursuing fashion, you also need to pay attention to temperature and body. It is best to add a pair of socks on your feet to keep warm.
Due to the constraints of traditional concepts or the rules and regulations of major social organizations, some kinds of sandals are the same as slippers: they are not suitable for sports activities, solemn occasions, or jobs in some industries; However, fish mouth shoes and sandals with high heels are usually available for most formal occasions. Even these sandals have once become a symbol of elegance and grace for working women.
In a word, sandals have gradually become a kind of fashion clothing rather than a simple summer clothing.
