Sandals are open summer shoes held on with straps. They are light everyday footwear worn on the feet. They suit warm weather and a character who values speed over armour.
Their main strength is that they barely slow the wearer down. Their main cost is weak protection, with only a small chance to stop a bite on the feet. They are sold in shoe, clothing and department stores. A character with some Tailoring can also sew a pair from leather. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Sandals are worn in the Shoes slot and cover the feet. They keep the feet a little warm and block a quarter of the wind and rain. That suits summer, but they are a poor choice for snow or long rain.
They stop about one bite in ten and one scratch in five on the feet. Proper boots such as Work Boots, Hiking Boots and Rubber Boots stop every bite and scratch there. Hide Boots stop four bites in ten.
The trade is speed. Sandals slow running by only 5 percent. Heavy boots slow it by 10 percent. A stomp in Sandals still hits about twice as hard as a bare foot.
Sandals wear down at the same rate as Rubber Boots. They last much longer than Flip-flops, which wear out about every other hit.
Tailoring
Sandals can be made with the Sew Sandals recipe at Tailoring level 2. It takes a small piece of crude tanned leather, heavy thread, 2 Leather Strips and 2 Buckles. The crafter also needs a Sewing Needle, an awl, and either scissors or a sharp knife.
Using Research Craft on a pair of Sandals teaches two recipes. One is Sew Sandals. The other is Weave Twine Shoes.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Sandals and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Sandals are a fairly common find in shoe shops. Metal shelves in shoe stores hold them about a quarter of the time. Clothing stores and department stores stock them on shelves about one time in six. Bedroom lockers and clothing storage rooms are other good places to look. Gym, bathroom and break room lockers turn them up now and then. Wardrobes in homes and motel rooms hold them only rarely.

Notes
- Sandals are a fast pair of shoes for summer travel.
- Boots are the safer pick once zombies start to crowd the feet.
- Researching Sandals is an easy way to learn to make twine shoes.
- A crafted pair needs Buckles, which are worth saving for this recipe.
