These versions were made from a variety of materials – papyrus leaves, palm leaves, leather, wood, rice straw. The design of the modern-day sandal is inspired by the Japanese ‘zori.’ The Encyclopedia of History of Japanese Manners and Customs states Japanese children used these flip flop-type shoes when first learning to walk. In 1945 the Japanese zori is brought into America by returning soldiers; this creates a flip flop craze in the US. These days...americans own several pair of flip flops...we spend about 2.5 billion a year as a country.
