Top answer

I'm not entirely sure, as different people may use different terminology, but I believe the distinction is this: flip flop --- completely open with a "string" that goes between the toes, next to the large one. slipper --- a small cover at the front of an otherwise open shoe under which you slide your foot sandals --- open shoe with many straps holding the entire foot into place
