Festival Footwear

The UK Festival Season is about to kick off in a big way and with the Isle of Wight and Download starting it all off in mid June.  There are lots of important things to take to a festival the most important one of course being your ticket.....you wouldn't believe how many people queue for hours on end from Shepton Mallet all the way to Pilton for Glastonbury and then realise that prized ticket has been left in its very safe place at home, not a good move.

Other essentials are of course the tent (home for the weekend, or at least a place to lay your head for a couple of hours), your camera, or phone with camera to capture those once in a lifetime moments, plenty of cash (prices for EVERYTHING are always so inflated at festivals), so on the same note food and drink, you've gotta save a bit where you can we're in a recession after all. Toilet roll, they always run out, hand sanitiser and for us girls dry shampoo for your hair...marvelous invention, then theres clothes of course the footwear!!!

So then festival footwear, well lets face it the UK's summers and especially Glastonbury have a reputation for being wet and muddy, unfortunately it is generally a reputation well earned so the top festival footwear is welly boots.

No.1 on our festival welly list is the Dr Martens Drench, a new style that DM's brought to the range in 2013 they combine the classic Dr Martens 1460 style with a waterproof rubber, fashion and function...Perfect!! Although if your knee deep in mud maybe not so much.

No.2 has to be Hunters, ok so they don't last the years and years they used to but lets face it what does nowadays, you can't ignore these fabulous glittery wellies.  Available in kids up to a UK 5 if your an adult with small feet you even get away with paying the cheaper kids price for them.

No.3 Bogs!! A fairly new brand to the UK but these funky flower wellys will stand out especially with a fantastically bright sole unit. The handles at the top makes them easy to get on and off as well...always a useful bonus.








OK so a miracle happens and we actually have a good summer what do you wear on your feet then?? Do you go for shoes or sandals, flip flops or trainers? the choice is endless if the weather behaves but here's our top 3.

No.1 Ok so we all know I love FitFlop, so of course they are going to be my top choice.  They're dead comfy for spending all day on your feet and with a canvas upper dead easy to clean with a brush over.  Downside to flipflops at a festival when your in the crowd there is no foot protection so when your feet get stood on it is going to hurt :(

 No.2 These Adesso shoes much like the entire Adesso range are completely wacky, not my normal sort of style yet they've really grown on me.  Definitely something different the uppers are a stretchy elastic so will stretch round your feet for great comfort and that is one seriously cushioned insole.

No.3 Well it just has to be a good old pair of Cons!! This latest version with large writing down the sides is lush and of course has all the classic Converse style.  Easy to wear, light and with the toe bumper a bit more protective than some shoes to be fair these probably should be No.1 rather than 3.







In typical British style the long range weather forecast shows sun and showers but temperatures look good, so rain or shine thats your festival footwear covered, just don't forget your tickets!!!
