Do you remember flip-flops? Oh wait—of course you do. They’re still kicking around. Simple rubber footwear with that little strap nestled between the piggy who went to market and the one who stayed home. I couldn’t tell you how many pairs I wore out as a kid—and later, as an adult in the Marines and Army, though we called them shower shoes back then.

I remember wearing them to the beach, where sand would sneak in and cause just enough friction to make things uncomfortable. Still, they were easy to rinse off and ready to go again.

Did you know the name “flip-flops” in the U.S. and Britain comes from the sound they make when you walk? Other countries have their own names for them. In Australia, they’re called thongs—which might raise a few eyebrows stateside.

“Some of the best memories are made in flip-flops.” – Kellie Elmore
