slippers or sandals

Slippers are the shoes which are light and easy to wear on and off. Flip-flops are also slippers. The first link under the header sandal is definitely a sandal but I don't have any clue about other clues. Should they called be sandal, slippers, or what?

sandal:


slippers or what?

In the US, slippers are what you wear around the house, particularly in the winter, so your feet don't get cold. I might wear my slippers as far as the mailbox, but not further. Flip-flops (or "thongs" to some) are rubber shoes with a post that goes between your big toe and the others, and straps that run from that post to the sides.
