The Best Shoes for Festival Season
Festival season is in full swing. Coachella and Stagecoach have already taken place, but there are so many during June, July, and August. Before these festivals come and go, make sure you have the perfect shoes picked out for your festival outfit. Whether you’re looking for comfort or style, we’re digging into both!
Keep Comfort in Mind
While we all want to look fabulous, festival season isn’t the time to put style over comfort. Remember you’ll be on your feet for hours at a time, in possible muddy conditions, dancing to music, and also keep possible weather in mind. What’s better than just putting comfort over beauty? Doing both! There’s no reason fashion also can’t be comfortable. Some of our favorite comfortable yet also extremely fashionable options are Tecovas boots, Reef platforms, sneakers (but we’ll share more of those below), and platform boots. Just remember to break in your shoes, wear the right socks, and don’t be afraid of wearing socks with sandals.
Sneakers
What is more comfortable than your go-to pair of sneakers! Festival grounds can be vast and exhaustive trying to get from one stage to another and catch your favorite artists. Sneakers can give you the best of both worlds by mixing fashion with style, you can even opt for fashion sneakers from brands like Coach, Dior, Michael Kors, or Wolf & Shepherd (who are known for their partnership with football player Rob Gronkowski and have an array of upscale men’s sneakers). If you’re shopping for a new pair of everyday sneakers that will also be perfect for festival fun, try New Balance 9060, Salomon Sportstyle Shoe, and Nike TC 7900 Comfort.
When Style Wins
The desire to be stylish can be overwhelming… even more than staying comfortable. There are an array of options, just remember to wear cushioned socks and prepare for the possibility of blisters with band-aids (we recommend Dr. Scholl’s Blister Cushions and Band-Aid Brand Hydro Seal Blister Heels). Doll’s Kill is a great place to find glittering, shiny boots that look fabulous in person and in every picture you take. Some other brands we love are Betsy Johnson, Steve Madden, Altar’d State, and Naked Wolfe. You can find thigh-high, metallic, sparkly, and colorful options. Whether you’re looking for cowboy boots, platforms, or laced-up boots, you can find them!
