Its true. The poll should be Flops V Crocs

My Doc Martins for me this year. I live in them anyway so I know they will be comfy. And look great with dresses and skirts (IMO)

The paper thin soles of a set of Converse are equally out of place when the farm is dry as a bone.

I've got a pair of decent, well maintained leather walking boots that I wear every year regardless of the weather, I add gaters if its pissing it down.

Never let me down in the years I've been wearing them.

Wellies only work if your into discomfort, sweaty feet and blisters.

I had boots the whole time in 2016 and they were fine, when i was sober i was trying my best to avoid the worst of it. Other times when i was smashed i was just marching through it all and my feet never got wet, although i couldn't feel the end of my big toes for about 6 months after!

Ideally it'll be trainers weather though.

I'm going boot shopping at the weekend, it's kind of a big deal as they could make or break my Glastonbury.

Would really appreciate recommendations / one's to steer clear of

If anyone is after a budget pair of boots, I have just had these boots delivered https://www.amazon.co.uk/Regatta-Holcombe-Hiking-Boots-Granite/dp/B07DFVX8JV/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=holcombe%2Bmid%2Bmen&qid=1559392190&s=shoes&sr=1-1&th=1&psc=1

Only £35 and fit nicely. Suppose to be waterproof but haven't tested as delivered on the hottest day of the year so far!

Have I left it too late to buy new boots and break them in?

I've just entered panic mode. Just realised I don't really have any comfortable/suitable trainers that would last the duration. Don't want to wear wellies this year, and trainers normally give me blisters after a while, so considering boots for the first time although conscious I don't have long to break them in. Plus does price directly correlate to waterproof and comfort levels? I don't want to spend a fortune on boots I'll wear for one weekend a year and the odd hike up Pen Y Fan/Snowdon once every two years.

Still time. Wear them around the house at night whilst theyre still clean.

These look a good deal > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Peter-Storm-Men-s-Filey-Mid-Waterproof-Walking-Boots/132633785026?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107095009%26meid%3D1cbe70e91eef430eb7c252617373c970%26pid%3D100040%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D3%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D132816621496%26itm%3D132633785026&_trksid=p2046732.c100040.m2060
