  Zori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zori (jp: 草履 zōri) are thonged Japanese sandals made of straw (usually rice straw) or other plant fibers, lacquered wood, or—increasingly—synthetic materials.
Zori are quite similar to flip-flops, and most fashion historians agree that flip-flops first appeared in the United States sometime around World War II as rubber imitations of the wooden thong-sandals long worn in Japan.
Like all Japanese sandals, Zori allow for free circulation of air around the feet, a feature that probably came about because of Japan's humid climate.

ZORI are a type of traditional Japanese footwear.
Technically, Zori are "a thin or thick soled sandal with a V-shaped thong which comes between the big toe and the rest of the foot and so keeps the sandal in place." Traditionally made of straw, modern zori are made of rubber, with plastic or nylon straps.
A few years ago, a company called "Teva" figured out that if you take a modern zori, add a few more straps and charge a ridiculous amount of money, then yuppies would buy them in droves.
