Flip-flops have been popular among woman, men, and children for quite some time now. You can get flip- flops in almost any color and style. I personally like to wear them with skirts, shorts and a bathing suit but they really go with anything. They are most common in the summer obviously because you have to wear them between two toes and that would be kind of hard to do with socks on in the winter.
The use of the word flip-flop for thong sandals is a modern term dating from the 1960's that describes what is probably the oldest form of footwear still being worn. Flip-flops have been around for at least six thousand years, styles of course changing throughout the years.
Now days kids wear them to the beach or the pool because you can just slip them on and slip them off. You can get really nice expensive ones, or cheap ones at Wal-Mart that you could wear in the water.
The growth in flip-flops has been part of a general change in fashion overall during the past twenty years, as it has become more casual overall for everyday events. Almost anyone you ask will say they have a pair.
So go to the store and pick up a pair, you will be guaranteed to enjoy them because they are so comfy it's like you are wearing slippers, or even no shoes at all!
