thumb|Men's leather sandals

Sandals are an open type of footwear consisting of a sole held to the wearer's foot by straps that go over the instep and around the ankle. Sandals may also feature a heel of varying heights. While the distinction between sandals and other types of footwear can sometimes be unclear (as with huaraches—the woven leather footwear from Mexico—and peep-toe pumps), sandals are generally understood to leave most of the foot exposed.
