Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Chinelos is masculine in Portuguese. While the etymology connecting it to Latin "cingulum" (belt) is plausible given the semantic shift from a bound garment to a type of footwear, the gender inheritance explanation is speculative. In Portuguese, "chinelo" is used with masculine articles and adjectives (o chinelo, chinelo confortável), but the specific mechanism by which it retained masculine gender from Latin through Romance language evolution cannot be definitively established without stronger etymological evidence. The masculine gender should be learned as a fixed property of this word.
