Abstract

A combination sock and strapless flip flop sole includes a sock adjoined through Velcro or any other adhesive or adjoining material to the strapless flip flop sole, securely and subsequently partially (medially) held to the foot of a wearer. The combination sock and strapless flip flop sole is constructed with Velcro or any other adhesive material at the dorsal or vamp (top) of the strapless flip flop sole. The combination sock and strapless flip flop sole elastic dorsal or vamp opening of the sock(s) securely engages around the dorsal or vamp of the wearer's foot and holds the wearer's foot to the combination sock and strapless flip flop sole by adjoining the combination sock and strapless flip flop sole by the Velcro or any other adhesive material, thereby enabling the strapless flip flop sole to partially separate away from the heel of the wearer's foot during walking.
