Before I saw your post, I was going to mention this.

I was on a tour of a job site in Japan, and the "riggers" at the plant wore a style like that that gave them better foot control and they installed piping, etc.

With the way fashion is going it might be the hottest trend in 2027.

You'd have to show me where they were wearing flip-flops....ok, went and dug. Most likely worn with house slippers?
