1. Sandale à deux brides dont le point d'attache sur le devant de la semelle se trouve entre le gros et le deuxième orteil.
2. La tong, tongo ou nu-pied, aussi appelée gougoune au Québec ou simplement sandale, slache en Belgique francophone mais plus particulièrement à Bruxelles, ou encore savate (savates deux doigts) ou claquette dans la France d'outre-mer, est une chaussure formée d'une semelle sur laquelle sont fixées deux brides en Y dont la lanière verticale (le « bâton » sur lequel repose le Y), fixée sur la semelle, sépare le gros orteil du reste des orteils du pied. Cette caractéristique distingue les tongs de ce qui en France métropolitaine et autres régions francophones est appelé des « claquettes », le mot utilisé dans certaines îles ou archipels francophones, comme la Nouvelle-Calédonie, pour désigner les tongs.
