What exactally do clubs mean by "sandals"?

So I'm going to a club for the first time Saturday night and was just trying to decide what to wear. I was thinking jeans and a cute halter top or something. The club's dress code says:


No athletic wear


No workboots


No hats


No baggy clothes


No jerseys


No torn or ripped clothing


No sandals


No plain white or screen printed t-shirts


No sunglasses





Would "sandals" be like flip-flops and if so why don't they just say that?

What exactally do clubs mean by "sandals"?
No sandals means ...





no flip flops





no thong sandals





I would say anything you would wear to the beach is out.





I went to a club once with sandals and they let me in ONLY because I had a small heel on it so it wasn't really a "sandal"
Reply:Many clubs don't like people wearing flat sandals like flip-flops because your feet can get hurt, on the dance floor (if it is crowded) or from broken glass (from dropped glasses %26amp; beer bottles). That being said, often club dress codes are only enforced for men, while women get away with much more but it depends on the club.
Reply:they mean flip-flops and regular sandals..


they're different.


sandals are a little big dressier but they encourage you to wear heels instead.
Reply:"Sandals" would certainly include flip-flops and probably include other flat sandals, too. However, if you wore high heeled shoes that were strappy, I'm sure they'd be allowed. (Not that I recommend it with jeans and a halter.)
Reply:You are correct. I guess it's the more "formal" way of saying it = )
