Sole sole, eh? That’s clever, but I gotta say it doesn’t quite fit the parameters, at least not as I was a-reckonin’. A/one = sole is perfect. But flip-flop = sole? Not so much. I mean, the sole is _part_ of a flip-flop, but I wouldn’t say it means the same thing.

Seems a bit of a [elongation; half-way through 7 en route to 9]. 😃

Simple expanse = straightforward straightforward ?

Change a rocker = waver waver?

A couple more:

Killed many.

Make war and earn money.

Sorry, Oly. I thought sole sole for a flip-flop was pretty good.  
Simple expanse is a plain plain.  
Change a rocker is not waver waver.  
Killed many - slew slew?  
Still in play:

Change a rocker

Make war and earn money

Here’s a hint for Change a rocker:

A rocker is a type of chair that changes position, so does another type of rocker.
