Is it true that it is illegal to drive in flip flops?

I live in New York. I was told it is illegal to drive in flip flops. Is that really true?
Additional Details
Last year, a guy who worked at a private driving school told me it was illegal.

As far as I know in NSW Australia it is illegal to drive barefoot or in thongs/slipper scuffs because apparently it can cause your foot to slip off the Accelerator, Brake Pedal or Clutch (in a manual car) My Best Friends Little Sister who is on her "L" Plates in NSW & is nearly 18 got fined while on Holidays for driving barefoot everything else was in order ie:
she had her license on her
she was displaying her "L" plates front & back
she wasn't speeding
& she had a fully licensed, sober driver (her Dad) in the front passenger seat. She was only driving to the shops a mile down the road because it's hard for her Father to walk The Police didn't care & they fined her & the only reason she didn't lose any points was because she would've lost her license & the Police Officer took "pity" on her but he still fined her to "teach her a lesson"

I know in some areas of the country it is illegal to drive barefoot, but I have never heard of flip flops being illegal.

as it alters your feel of the pedal and slows your response
and they can slip
