Weather Forecast

[harrisj]

Still to early to judge it I think. Only 5 day forecasts are reliable and they even have their problems.

Let's expect it to be a piss-wet mudfest. That way, if the sun makes an appearence it'll be amazing :-)

true, but normally sites are able to predict whether its going to be awful and hammer it down a week before? So whilst the link I posted might be a bit optimistic, I think it at least shows chances of weather being awful aren't likely? Maybe im just being too hopeful!

[prettywaste]

I think will just be average, maybe a few showers if that, not overly sunny but not grey. I'll take wellies regardless anyway

I've never worn wellies, a pair of £30 waterproof walking trainers from Decathlon is good enough for any downpour.

I hate wellies, if it's that muddy you "need" wellies, I just find myself getting stuck to the ground because they're an arse to walk in, don't get why so many people last year were walking around in wellies when the ground was bone dry either. Multiple pairs of thick socks and some cheap primark trainers/old trainers in general, much better, more comfortable, easier to walk, jump, mosh etc in.

[prettywaste]

I don't own a pair of trainers.... pumps and high heels aren't good for festivals and id rather wear wellies than trainers, or buy a pair of trainers

[prettywaste]

I wore converse last year, they rubbed and were more uncomfortable than my wellies!

It's the look. I was at Boardmasters last weekend and the amount of teenage girls walking around in denim hotpants and wellies even though there wasn't a drop of rain was daft.

I'm a farmer (well, my dad is), so I'm used to wellies, and I always wear them at a muddy festival. There's always going to be some point when you stand in a puddle or there's sloppy mud above your ankles, and I'd rather not end up with water in my shoes and therefore damp feet all day.

I wore normal shoes at Rock Werchter though, and it's much better if there's no risk of the above situation occurring. Although in the mornings at the sinks the floor was a mudbath, and it happened every day, so I'm talking shit. I just didn't want to carry wellies to Belgium. I'm weak.

Walking boots, bruh.

I wear nothing but Converse, and never get any blisters or anything. Find them really comfy too. Hmm.

[prettywaste]

Converse are the shittest shoes in the world. No cushioning, no insulation, no waterproofing, horrible blister issues. Converse can get bent.

[lightning1000]

I've always found vans really comfy. I wore my rise against ones last year the whole weekend with no problems. Agree with the converse comments though

[Andre91]

A trusty pair of Adidas Sambas will be my choice of footwear if the weather is dry, without a doubt the comfiest shoes I've ever put on my feet. I wear them to every standing gig I go to and they work a treat, plenty of cushion and support.

If the weather is looking less promising, I will be taking my old workbooks, fairly comfy and sturdy as they come, pretty much waterproof too which is a great bonus. Wellies are bottom of my list, I just dislike them so much, they're really hot and just 'clumpy, (the only word I can think of that describes what I mean), especially when walking in mud.

If it's comfy shoes you want get a pair of macbeths. The comfiest fuckers in the world

[johndoe93]

Anyone looking for comfortable shoes look no further than Nike Freeruns. It's like i'm walking on a cloud! originally bought them for the gym but they're my everyday trainers now. Don't look too bad either!
