Footwear 2013

[Mrs*E*]

DM's type thingy, I dont find anything else comfy !!

[TheNewUnion]

I think some sort of "tent slippers" are an oft overlooked necessity. Outside of that, My Karrimor boots finally gave up so I've got some new Salomon GTX boots for every day and my old faithful Hunter Argyll farmer wellies for the more extreme circumstances. Get a decent pair of cushioned insoles in the wellies and they are comfy enough for all day wear.

Even in the heat of 2010 I managed in my Walking Boots, light weight, breathable and comfy.

[jimmyt]

DMs, obviously. Then you don't need to take any other footwear with you.

[Mardy]

Comfy pair of trainers ( old Nike airmax) and a pair of wellies (muckboots). Will probably chuck my flipflops in my rucksack as well.

[rexclark]

It's going to be bone dry so either a pair of Adidas Sambas or my plimsolls.

[shae]

Dr Martens regardless of what the weather is like

[cokebabies92]

Brasher Superlites. They are a walking boot and also happen to be the dogs bollocks when it comes to mud, shit and rough terrain. Add gaiters if you really must.

[abdoujaparov]

German army para boots, whatever the weather

if it's hot, I might also take my trusty old birkenstocks

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Will invest in these, but probably won't need them as it's not going to rain or be muddy at all. NFR NFC

Can anyone recommend and good gaitors that don't cost the earth?

I'm only taking my Chuck Taylors cos it's going to be 2010-style sunshine throughout.

In 2011 I took a cheap pair of wellies but put some decent insoles in to make them more comfortable. They come slightly down the shin too so they're not so restrictive/sweaty on the legs

[ICGenie]

Birkenstocks, Ethletics, Karrimors and wellies. Although obviously wellies will not be required this year.

[Krazypinkminx]

wedge wellies with memory foam insoles, dr marten boots wit memory foam insoles, nike air max and my soft animal flip flops becsuse it WILL be sunny! all these will be in the car, weather will decide what i wear.

[stf]

All about the welly bobs! Wore them for 2010 and would never wear anything else footwear wise, even in the sun. I bring a pair of hunters (picked up for £20 off eBay) in case it gets really bad but switch to the 'bobs as soon as possible. Great for dog walking and snow too!

always done a welly, trainers, flip flop combo but thinking this year about goinf for some decent walking boots and gaiters plus the flip flops for the tent.

[Andeeroo]

Always go with walking boots out and about and trainers around the campsite, weather permitting. I have weak ankles so need some kind of support therefore wellies are a no no.

My walking boots are quite weighty though. Thinking of getting something a bit more lightweight. Anybody have any suggestions on brands?

Willies are a no no? Well, not after 5 days without showering, eh?

Of course there's always the option of strapping on the ketamine simulator to get around;

[LondonTom]

I got these walking boots last year: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/karrimor-ksb-aspen-iii-weathertite-p189388 I wear them most of the year, they are so comfy!!! So yeah can't wait to try those out at glasto, got gaiters so no wellies for me hopefully! (will bring a pair incase I deem it to be needed)

[01seb]

Debating whether or not to bring wellies or hiking boots with me, will decide closer to the date based on weather forecasts. If I do bring wellies, I will be wearing them on the plane for 24 hours though!

I've bought some Rok Neoprene wellies (like Muck boots but half the price), they say they keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer, I can honestly say they are more comfortable than slippers as they have 5mm of wet suit material in them and are very springy when you walk, only £30 on the net. This will be my 4th Glastonbury and my 3 previous have all been wet/moist so I figured that I would need something more comfortable than my old standard £10 wellies.

I hope that they can be left in my car and only need my trainers.
