Sandals are shoes with exposed toes, which are as cool as slippers, but sandals are thicker than slippers, with more soles and more materials. It can be divided into many types: flat heel, slope heel, high heel and so on. Traditionally, sandals, like slippers, are not suitable for solemn occasions, running and driving vehicles. However, sandals are most suitable for walking on the beach in summer and leisure life. Sandals are the earliest foot products in human history because of their extremely simple structure, which evolved from the original package. Sandals have appeared in ancient civilizations, and their appearance structure seems to be: a belt or rope tied to a solid sole. As early as 3500 BC, Egyptians left their footprints on the wet sand, woven soles with straw ropes to match the size of their feet, and fixed them on their feet with rawhide belts. These sandals are very practical. Wearing them can protect the soles of your feet from dry and rough ground. The disadvantage is that the soles of your feet are exposed in broad daylight. Clever Egyptian women decorate them with jewels to protect them from the sun and beautify their image. Now a new kind of antistatic sandals has been developed, which is suitable for being widely used in dust-free workshops.

Slippers are a kind of shoes, the heels are completely empty, only the toes are in front, mostly flat-bottomed, and the materials are often quite soft leather, plastic, cloth and so on. The types of slippers vary according to the occasion and performance. For example, beach slippers are not made of cloth, but of plastic. This is because they are waterproof and easy to clean. The type of toe cap has also been specially designed, which is often called flip-flops, which is what we call flip-flops. But indoor slippers in winter, in order to keep warm, may use fluffy cloth instead of plastic, so that people can enjoy it better in the room. There are also anti-static slippers commonly used in electronics factories and dust-free workshops.
