Zōri

Zōri are special shoes that come from Japan. They are kind of like sandals but are fancier and more delicate than regular sandals. Zōri are often worn with traditional Japanese clothing, like kimonos.

Imagine you are playing outside on a hot summer day and you want to wear something that is easy to slip on and off but still protects your feet. Zōri are just like that! They are super easy to slip your feet into and they help protect your feet from the hot ground or any sharp objects that you might step on.

Zōri are made of many different materials such as bamboo, straw, rubber, or even leather. They also come in many different colors and styles. Some zōri might have cute little designs on them like flowers or patterns.

So, zōri are kind of like fancy, delicate sandals that people in Japan like to wear with their fancy clothes. They are perfect for a hot summer day when you want to protect your feet while still looking cute and stylish!
