Definition
A sandal is a light, open shoe that usually has a sole held to the foot with straps. Sandals are often worn in warm weather.
Etymology
From Old French *sandal*, from Latin *sandalium*, from Greek *sandálion*, meaning 'sandal'. The design is ancient and appears in many early cultures.
Kelly Says
Sandals are one of humanity’s oldest shoe designs, barely changed over thousands of years—just a sole and straps. The word has walked through Greek, Latin, French, and into English almost as simply as the shoe itself. Sometimes the most basic human needs create the most stable words.
