National Flip Flop Day 2025
 |
My years as a Navy brat showed me places where they were appropriate and I certainly took the opportunity to utilize them on the various beaches and just as knock abouts around my homes.
Today is National Flip Flop Day.
The day is held the Wednesday after Memorial Day.
The design of the modern Flip Flop was originally inspired by the Japanese ‘
Their construction originated in purely natural materials.
As time evolved their construction migrated to the rubber and other synthetic materials which became available down the road.
The literature suggests that the flip flop owes it's existence solely to the Japanese.
From what I have seen I would have to agree.
Though I don't view flip flops as a fashion statement by any means I can say that I have been one to wear them and I wouldn't mind having a pair right now ...
But I don't.
At any rate, happy National Flip Flop Day to you !
If you got 'em — wear 'em.
