SANDAL, is also used for a shoe or slipper worn by the pope and other Romish prelates when they officiate.
It is also the name of a sort of slipper worn by several congregations of reformed monks. This last consists of no more than a mere leather sole, fastened with latches or buckles, all the rest of the foot being left bare. The Capuchins wear sandals; the Recollects, clogs; the former are of leather, and the latter of wood.
