草履 (zori) are traditional Japanese sandals made from rice straw or other materials. They feature a flat sole and a thong that goes between the big toe and the second toe. Zori are often worn with kimono and are popular during festivals and formal occasions. These sandals come in various styles and colors, reflecting different cultural and regional influences. While they are primarily associated with traditional Japanese attire, modern variations of zori can also be found, making them a versatile choice for both casual and formal wear.
