A sandal of basically flip-flop configuration is provided comprising a sole (1, 19), an upstanding thong (2, 17, 23, 26, 29) for passing between the big toe and the adjacent second toe of a wearer and a pair of straps (3, 14, 22, 31) each of which operatively connects the thong with an opposite side (4) of the sole between the heel and toe thereof so as to form a closed loop with the sole. At least one releasable connection (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 27, 28) is associated with the thong or straps or both whereby the closed loop that each strap forms with the sole can be releasably opened as and when required. The releasable connection that typically includes a two component connector may be provided at or towards an end region (5, 15) of its associated strap remote from the thong. Alternatively, the ends (21, 25, 30) of the straps (22, 31) associated with the thong are releasable from the sole either by being releasable from the thong or by the thong being releasable from sole.
