Science Fair Projects - Flip-flop (footwear) |
 | | In footwear and fashion, flip-flops are a kind of flat, backless sandal that consist of simple soles held on the foot by a V-shaped strap that passes between the toes and around either side of the foot, attached to the sole at three points. |
 | | In some places, domestically-produced sandals are available for the equivalent of less than one US dollar, and, despite their disposable design, street vendors will repair worn sandals for a small fee. |
 | | They are many poor peoples' only footwear, and hence are worn for a wide variety of tasks, including farming, construction, and other heavy manual work. |
