A sandal is a type of open-toed footwear that is typically held to the foot by straps or laces. The term 'sandal' can refer to a variety of different styles, including THONG (5 letters), patten (6 letters), zori (4 letters), HUARACHE (8 letters), and espadrille (10 letters). Each style has its own unique characteristics, such as the THONG's single strap between the toes, the patten's thick sole, the zori's flat sole, the HUARACHE's woven leather upper, and the espadrille's rope sole.
