Hungary boys wore sandals, although HBC at this time has very limited information. A boy in a 1969 wore closed toe sandals. It appears to have been a minority style, but was worn. HBC at this time does not know if closed or open toe styles were more common. Only closed-toe styles were pictured in the film. German clothibg styles are often important in Central Europe, but HBC is not sure if this is the case in Hungary. German boys after World War II mostly wore open-toe sandals while closed toe-styles were more common in England and France. They do not appear to have been entirely a leizure style as at least some boys were wearing them to school with blue smocks.
HBC has no chronological information on Hungarian sandals. The only information at this time is from a 1969 film. HBC believes, however, that in many of these low-budget Hungarian Eastern European films that boys often wore their own clothes rather than costumes.

Boys wearing sandals in 1969 also wore school smocks, short pants, and knee socks. The boys appear to wear sandals with kneesocks, both white and colored kneesocks. HBC does not yet have sufficient information to assess what clothes Hungarian boys wore with sandals.
One would assume that sandals in Hungary were primarily a leisure for summerwear.
