Chancletas is a slang term in Spanish that refers to flip-flops or sandals.

In more detail, chancletas specifically refers to a type of footwear that is lightweight and typically made of rubber or plastic. They are known for their distinctive thong strap that goes between the first and second toes, holding the sandal in place. Chancletas are often worn in casual settings, especially in warm weather or at the beach.

Examples:

1. “Cuando hace calor, siempre me pongo mis chancletas para estar más cómodo.” (When it’s hot, I always wear my flip-flops to be more comfortable.)

2. “Olvidé mis zapatos en casa, así que tuve que ir a la tienda en mis chancletas.” (I forgot my shoes at home, so I had to go to the store in my sandals.)
