Robed from another thread, this article made me happy which is a fucking first for the Fail.

Anyway, I have found myself looking to see what shoes all the girls are wearing for research purposes.

The amount of sunshine though makes it perfect for this thread and bound to get a few ripples of excitement going.

I thought you'd decided on footwear!!!!!

You were helping me help Mrs Woffy to decide when we were out shopping!!!!

Or do you mean what styleeeee of shoes?

Mrs Woffy has today got some safety shoes at work and they're cool as fuck, comfy, practical and have toe 'tectors - handy in a crowd for the dainty-toed among you!

I'll tweet a pic in a minute.

Re shoes: Deffo wellies. Also, I usually get a pair of cheap Primarni pumps around about now so you can wear them in a bit beforehand. I would not recommend anything open toed. Ouch. Lots of stones and ocassional stony paths. You will be grateful for a closed in shoe! Also, when you're sat down for a bit, you can rest your can in one when you've taken them off, as in the pic ;)

You'll do tons of walking so they have to be comfy, but also not a pain to take off as you will want to air your feet while you'#re in the same place for a while.

Also carry a small packet of wet wipes in your day bag, so you can wipe your feet every now and then.

Sorted.

Pretty much what I was doing, bringing the wellies with me for this weekend and will leave them with Mr HMV cos I don't have to carry as much this weekend.

Was meant to pop to PRimani afterwork today and forgot and have made other plans. Bugger.

Good plan. I reckon next weekend is ok for shoe shopping, I think thats when I'll have time to do mine anyway!

Another top tip- bamboo socks. And wear socks with your shoes most of the time, it makes for happier feet I find.

I personally swear by walking boots even if m***y and comfy trainers. Wellie scan give you awful blisters and in my opinion not comfy for walking say 5 miles plus a day in. But I am not a girlie and don't understand this festival chic stuff.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
