Geta (下駄) are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that 
resemble both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with
an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to 
keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with 
traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but 
(in Japan) also with Western clothing during the summer months.
Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due
to their extra height and impermeability compared to other
footwear such as zōri. They make a similar noise to flip-flops
slapping against the heel whilst walking. When worn on water or 
dirt, flip-flops may flip dirt or water up the back of the legs. This
does not tend to happen with the heavier Japanese Geta.
