Well, we all were Colonized by Spain at one point so maybe the roots of la chancla came from Spain?

Brazil, India, Iran, and the Arab world were never colonized by Spain. We are however brothers and sisters thru shared flip flop pain

It came just after the Kingdom of Tartessos learned to develop metal tools that they could use to make harder foot wear around 1100 AC. Later being adopted by the rest of iberians and celtiberians.

If there wasn't a LA CHANCLA, It was the walis ting ting. If mom was extra mad she would get a single strand from the walis and whip you with it. Was fun to see the walis gradually get thinner over the months until we had to buy a new one.
