Liron Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 K since about 10 of u gave me different types of boots and being in a country where it doesn't rain I'm hardly a boot-expert.. just give me an idea where to get the BEST boots for the festival like.. a shop name or something! I don't wanna end up buying a rip off somewhere lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMac Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 My wellies were cheap and have lasted for ages. I just wear thick socks to make them more comfortable. I dont think theres a need to buy expensive walking boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna end up buying a rip off somewhere lol dunlops are the standard welly sold at most outdoor (camping) equipment shops. In britain they cost around 20 quid and last forever, mine have survived 4 reading festivals, a torrential V festival and more than a few of snow days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogette Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 if you want dog's bollocks waterproofs, it's Hunters. Decent but considerably cheaper wellies are Dunlop. Hiking boots you'd need to find an outdoors-y shop (or department...) and try a few for fit, and get some compeed plasters for when the breaking-in process gives you blisters, but longer-term they'd be comfiest. Wish I was joining y'all, if only for the partay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMac Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Pretty.. and I do have one pair of very thick socks with me But buy more! My usual dress for festivals is shorts/skirts, loads of tights and socks, tshirts, raincoat and maybe a hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna end up buying a rip off somewhere lol Depends how much you want to spend and how trendy you want to look really Wellies are good but I personally find them too hot and uncomfortable for walking very far or for wearing too long and I def can't jump in them!:LOL: This is the kind of thing I'll be wearing only mine are dark blue and black.

My walking boots have lasted me ten years so far (and yes, I have done plenty of proper walking in them up in Cumbria!:LOL:) and show no sign of giving up!

a-museing Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I got my wellies in that sale in Office last year for €20. They have polka dots on them. I'm not sure how reliable they are though. I've only worn them once. Liron:happy: I'm quite glad I finally get to wear wellies. Same. I haven't had an excuse to wear them yet this year.
