last 2 or 3 festi's (tho this is my first Glasto) I've taken a pair of trainers and also a pair of canvas type that I'd have had for a few months by that point so were comming up to retirement. I pretty much wear the canvas ones until they are unwearable and chuck them away (or donate them) at the end of the festi.

Always. always.always - decent walking boots/ decent socks - its a farm and massive to hike anywhere in wellies or trainers. If it turns sour then add the goretex gaiters. If its really dry it can be a hazard too - trainers just arent made for hiking. Having said that if you just want to stay in one place you may get away with it...

Now come on, You don't really hike at Glastonbury do you...It's more of a bimble...So much to do and see on the way everywhere...I have been going since 1992 and only ever had trainers or more recently crocs in addition to wellies, I am a very big girl carrying lots of weight and my feet have never suffered because I didn't have proper hiking boots...

Whilst I am a total flip flop lover... past Glasto experiences have taught me to always have 3 types of shoe:

Wellies/mud appropriate footwear

Flip flops/open toed

non-boot closed toe shoe

- the 3rd being vital in some areas of the fest, or for where there has been mud but it's not dried out yet, flip flop mishaps can be painful and annoying! (but are a good excuse to buy new shoes at the markets) :)
