That's not odd at all. Zories are traditional Japanese sandals made from straw and/or wood. The slippahs are just zori made from rubber. My dad would call rubbah slippahs "zori" but most people wouldn't. It might be that when my dad was a kid, rubbah slippahs didn't exist. You can still buy zories though. It might become fashionable one of these days.
