Anyone know if there's a proper name for this style of slipper?
It's like a babouche, where the upper's heel and vamp are separate, forming a V toward the midsole.

Saw something similar on a clip on the BBC docu about bossa nova, so I'm guessing it was the style in the 50's or 60's.
EDIT: Never mind, looks like I found it - Grecian Slipper.
