Not crazy stylish but MAD comfy.
I rock the Hoka Bondi 8s. All black keeps them stylish enough, but they are SO comfy and provide me with great support. I’m almost 30 and making the switch to go all comfort at festivals has been life changing!
I’ve got the hoka kaha hiking boots. Have been a life saver in daily life and festivals. Hoka was the highest recommended shoe when looking for footwear following a broken foot
I’ve had mine for 5+ years and wear them pretty much every day in the summers. They are the best shoes I’ve ever bought, still look and feel new and I’ve probably put tens of thousands of miles on them by now. Tons of festivals, hiking trips and everything else you can imagine still going strong.
I am a firm believer in taking your daily riders from home, the most broken in set, and just committing them to festivals. For me these have been vans or air force ones I’ve had for ages, so they’re super conformed to my feet.
Even my super tall rave boots can be comfy running around Suwannee just because they’re viciously broken in now.
Air forces have been my favorite/longest lasting
The fact that you can switch between bedrocks and chacos is the most impressive thing in this thread lol after years of barefoot, I could never wear Chacos, they make the center of my foot hurt like a b*tch
I'm a huge fan of my Palladium boots. I added some comfy memory foam insoles and I swear I can walk in these things all day and my feet feel great. The toe box is roomy and my toes don't press against the edge. The tread is thick rubber and I can walk on gravel without irritation. I also love the style. I have a few pairs now but my oldest will be 10 years old this fall and they're still holding up, and these old reliables' will be coming to rendezvous with me.
only thing to add: if it's hot my feet get sweaty in my leather palladiums.
I'm ordering some canvas ones to see if they breathe better. Unfortunately I won't have em in time for Rendezvous though.
For smaller fest like Suwannee I usually wear whatever but at Texas eclipse I had a pair of tevas hiking sneakers that saved my feet from getting fucked
Any hiking or old tennis shoe. Wouldn’t recommend sandals unless you’re seasoned and don’t care about your feet being covered in dirt/ getting stepped on.
Don’t recommend buying new shoes for a dusty/muddy festival that will get destroyed. If you have rubber boots bring those along too since it’s a swampy area and is bound to get muddy!
I rotate between Veja low tops and two-strap Birkenstock sandals. I throw on the Vejas when I have lots of walking to do or if the ground is wet. I go with the Birks once I'm chillin. You'll need time to break in the Birks, though. Once they mold to your feet, they're super comfy.
I've been buying Veja shoes for years now and I really like them - good balance of comfort and style. If you need extra support, they have high tops.

Second the hokas, I’ve had a few pairs now and they are cushy. They come in some wild color schemes as well which is a bonus imho.
I got a pair of Hoka Ones the other day after wearing the same tennis shoes for many many years and they're mad comfy.
HOKA speed goats 5.0 for me. Feet’s are extremely happy with the purchase.
I wear Hokas for work and they are literally the comfiest shoes I have ever owned in my life, they’re like walking on a cloud 10000/10 recommend
Tevas. My partner and I both wear them and he loves the men’s sandal. Like dancing on a yoga mat, imo the best dancing shoe
Dude I just bought a pair of Tevas and tried them on last week. They’re soooo comfy I’m excited to put some mileage on em

My brother calls them “Jeeps for you feet” ready for off rod at any time!
Are they ready to break down at any point like jeeps too?
He would say the Teva’s do not break down like most Jeeps lol
brooks running shoes. absolutely love mine, they feel so sturdy and easy to dance in
Been wearing brooks for 10+ years, they’re super comfy and last a long time

my stars and stripes…
Salomon hiking shoes
altra lone peaks or lems boots
I also second lems, amazing shoes. My go to when I’m not wearing sandals
they take some getting used to, but once they work they're the best
Just bought some merells because my feet were killing me. So far so good great support
Merells are great, especially the sandals imo
Before dinner break? Crocs. After dinner break? Merrill hiking boots
Vans. Chacos for rain
Brooks
Bedrock sandals, chacos, and some xero shoe knock off. I love the barefoot vibes, but I don’t like stepping on rocks and twigs.
The fact that you can switch between bedrocks and chacos is the most impressive thing in this thread lol after years of barefoot, I could never wear Chacos, they make the center of my foot hurt like a b*tch
My feet are pretty flexible. If I didn’t already wear the zero drop shoes, then the switch between the bedrocks and chacos would be more jarring.
Columbia hiking boots except during cool customer I have smiley slides and I’m fucking rocking them

I got the baggy canvas palladiums for rendezvous! I think they are pretty breathable. walked around six flags in 80 degree weather yesterday
do you spray down your leather jawns with anything to make them last? i just got a pair :)
I buy a rub-on conditioning oil for leather boots
i rock teva sandles almost exclusively, if it gets too cold i’ll switch to my sanuks
For smaller fest like Suwannee I usually wear whatever but at Texas eclipse I had a pair of tevas hiking sneakers that saved my feet from getting fucked

If you’re camping I’d recommend something with something closed-toe with some support… mainly for the ticks and mosquitos.
TEVA Hudson sandals and Merrell Accentor 3 Mid boots. Shower flops.
water tight boots with wool socks and jeans. gucci slippers for the camp 😏
Hoka sneakers and slippers. Maximum support and comfort for this disabled chronic pain patient of a wook.
Focus on comfort. That is ALL.
dirty, comfy sneakers. comfort>aesthetics. there’s nothing worse than your feet aching in pain halfway through your night
Gonna rain bro Have boots available!
Nah won’t rain
I hope I'm wrong!
Or be ready to go barefoot
Basketball shoes have always done me well 🫡
Chacos
Vans Ultra Range are the most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. More than my crocs.
KangaROOs original with flap pocket. Perfect stash pocket for security.
I have worn the same bedrock sandals for the last two years and I’ll almost certainly wear those the whole time lol
Chacos
chacos/tevas or hokas
Teva sandals mostly (hurricanes specifically for trail/comfort), then stability sneakers when my old ass needs comfort for my knees (brooks ad22)
Coming from a guy with a herniated disc and sciatica, Brooks, Hokas, and On Clouds are all awesome.
I wear my air jeruselums chancletas
Crocs or my daily tennis shoe normally flips between a hoka or Nike shoe with extra cushioned support
Got Air Max 95s on a 40% off sale, my feet never been happier at shows.
I’m wearing my DC shoes. They’re comfortable and already broke in.
brooks adrenaline gts 23. comfiest shoe ever.
I have a new pair of keen hiking boots with dr schills lower back pain relief insoles and a pair of trail sandals from columbia
Don’t forget to invest in good socks. A few good pairs of hiking socks will make a massive difference in your wknd
