Wellies......

[FluffyFairy]

If it is hot. I would advice against wearing your wellies if you can. My friend is a nurse who worked in the medical tent last year and the place was inundated with girls with wellies literally stuck to their feet. The build up of sweat is not good for you either. Feet need to breathe when it's a scorcher. Gotta look after those feet.

I cant believe non of you have recommended boots or wellies just for going the loo!

The long drops and portaloos can get very wet underfoot with god knows what! I remember seeing a girl last time i went with flip flops on and soaking wet feet and toilet roll attached to them!! GROSS!!

I wore boots last time and also took wellies, it was roasting but i survived!

Its my first Glastonbury this year, and needless to say I cannot wait! I know I haven't done Glastonbury before but I've been to T in the Park and Leeds, and I know that obviously wellies are a life saver, but one of the worst things that happened was when I wore them when it started raining at the start of the day, and then it got sunny, and I being the lazy person you become in a field, I decided to not go back to the tent and stay in them all day and it was the worst decision I have ever made! My feet sweat that much that when it got to night time, the cold made the sweat freezing and it felt like my feet were about to fall off, so always take a pair of boots/trainers, and don't become lazy like me!

Never ever a need for wellies. Walking boots and gaiters are better in all levels of wetness, on experience from 2005 and 2007. FACT.

Anyone who argues is wrong. FACT.

Take a pair of trail shoes for normal times to protect your feet against stony ground and a pair of fancy dan shoes for poncing of short duration if you must and you'll be perfect
