1.
sports sandals; outdoor sandals with sturdy straps and soles
Rugged, adjustable-strap sandals with grippy soles, designed for outdoor activity such as hiking, camping, or water play rather than everyday casual wear.
スポーツサンダル (from English "sports" + "sandal") are outdoor sandals built for activity, with adjustable straps, a secured heel, and a grippy sole — unlike ordinary サンダル, which are casual indoor or errand footwear.
