Abstract: Methods for converting a shoe from the flip-flop configuration to a sandal configuration are described herein. The method also includes connecting at least three foot fastener connectors to a first sole connector, a second sole connector, and a third sole connector of the at least three sole connectors, wherein said connecting causes the at least three foot fastener connectors to form a toe thong in a flip-flop configuration. The method further includes sliding the first sole connector along a first slide path from a first flip-flop position to a first sandal position, sliding the second sole connector along a second slide path from a second flip-flop position to a second sandal position, and sliding the third sole connector along a third slide path from a third flip-flop position to a third sandal position.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to embodiments disclosing a flip-flop shoe having a toe thong that can be converted into a sandal with no toe thong, allowing the user the comfort of either having a flip-flop with a toe thong or a sandal without a toe thong.
