आगे से खुले जूते


Explanation:
I think the best Hindi term for this would be चप्पल as suggested by Shera Lyn.

If you want a more descriptive term, you could use आगे से खुले जूते, as these are essentially types of footwear in which the toes stick out through a gap in their front portion.

Chappals are instead categorized as flip flops !

खुले पंजे वाले जूते contains " flip flops , shoes , sandles , skate shoes, ankle Shoes, some specific galoshes, sneakers,

Calling them shoes and sandles is like translating living being into" लड़का"

neutral  Balasubramaniam L.: See the context. No one is going to enter a dining area in skate shoes. All that is meant here is formal footwear is expected.
8 hrs
  -> thats just an example !! Then why you think they even wrote "open toed shoes" instead of sandal which is already a english word. Secondly if you notice they mentioned as shoes and in formal term chappals are not part of shoes. (ankle Shoes is not chappal

neutral  Shera Lyn Parpia: where did you get this list of open toed shoes? as far as I know galoshes and sneakers, for example, are closed shoes. /No, there is nothing like this on the internet
12 hrs
  -> I think you might have looked over the internet. But the open toed snickers are just like sandals but with synthetic stuff! We (my bro) own a shoe factory (leather). thats what my source is ! anyway thanks !
