Flip Flops Market - Overview Flip flops are light sandals, typically made up of rubber or plastic, with a thong between the big and the second toe. Flip flops originated in Japan, when rubber production was high in the country during the World War II. During the 1950s, Japan began to ship rubber flip flops to the U.S. as one of its earliest exports after the war. Those were marketed as Zoris, which were Japanese thongs made up of straw. In the past, flip flops have been associated with surfing, hot weather, and beaches. However, a change in fashion trends has led to the adoption of flip flops for everyday use, both indoors and outdoors. Flip flops are worn throughout the summer season, mainly on beach and primarily by women. The flip flops market is driven by factors such as change in consumer preference toward trendy footwear and rise in the number of purchases by young people.
