These slippahs, or slippers, were at Spencer Beach Park and had been left on the beach by people out in canoes. But it is customary in Hawaii to remove your footwear when entering someone’s home. This is an import from Asian traditions. Here, most people go barefoot but some, including us, switch to house slippahs, which are only used indoors. I like this because I have no wish to step on a centipede with a bare foot!

It’s a great photo. Makes one want to just walk right down the thongs towards the beach.

Some places are like that here as well and no one steals them.
Here’s your big laugh for the day. In Australia we call them Thongs and were named as such long before the undies 😁

I don’t suppose he wants to be stepped on either.
