Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANDAL (from the Latinized form of Gr. vavb4Atov or vav&aAov: this probably represents the Persian sandal, slipper; it is not to be referred to Gr. stasis, board) , the foot-covering which consists of a sole of leather or other material attached to the sole of the foot by a thong of leather passing between the
great
  and second toe, crossed over the instep and fastened round the ankle (see SHOE and COSTUME, section Greek and Roman). Sandals are only worn regularly among the peoples of Western civilization by friars, though forms of them are found among the peasants in Spain and the Balkans. They have in
recent
  times been adopted by the extreme
advocates
  of hygienic dress, especially for
young
  children. In the early
part
  of the 19th
century
  a form of low, light slipper fastened by a ribbon crossed over the instep and round the ankle, and worn by women, was known as a
sandal
 .
