Summerware

The question is what is to be worn for Summer footware?  I've made my thoughts known on Charlie ~ blog I don't want to repeat it here.
I wear flip flops as we are forced to call them. At one time the original denotation for this footware was THONGS. Who on this earth decided to name a type of women's undergarment the SAME name because it fits in the CRACK?  Who would have thought this popular piece of underware would out sell the longstanding name of a footware, forcing those of us who wore THONGS for footware now have to change the name.
After FIFTY years of calling this item THONGS do you have any idea how hard it is to break the ingrained word change to a two-syllable of 'FLIP FLOPS'
I have a number of pairs of FF's made be Nike, Crocks and other cheaper brands. I can no longer wear the old rubber ones. I wear sandals most times even though I've had foot surgery and I'm not supposed to wear them. I only do it for a few days at a time and then back to the supportive type sandal or shoe.
