In light footwear, turn and throw oneself down (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flip-flop

But I can't explain it at all!

(Other definitions for flip-flop that I've seen before include "Shoe held on by a toe-thong" , "Rubber-soled sandal" , "Sandal held on by a toe-thong" , "Light shoe" , "Rubber sandal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
