What are you wearing on your feet?

[Trillium]

I just wear some gladiator sandals I bought at wallyworld years ago.
I saw these at Target the other day and am dying to buy some, they just haven't had my size:

I wear that brand of dress shoes to work so I'm hoping their sandals are just as comfy!

i really like the look of those.  They actually look very similar to the sandals I purchased from a vendor several years back!

I am thinking about getting a pair like that.  They look faire enough for me.

I personally swear by Medieval Moccasins.

http://www.medievalmoccasins.com/

Medieval Moccasins has a shop at Scarborough, which is how I originally discovered them. I have several pair and they have always been super comfy, plus the fit is completely customizable due to how they lace. I would suggest against metallics because they tend to be stiffer, the softer the leather the more comfy!

I HIGHLY suggest using the size chart before ordering! Ordering a shoe that is too big can result in wearing through the shoe faster. However if you wear through the sole but not the leather they will resole you shoes for you! Plus they are machine washable!

These are pretty much the shoe favorites at Scarby.

I have 2 pair of sandal styles I wear during the summer.  These from MM: http://www.medievalmoccasins.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MM&Category_Code=HTOTS

And these from Nomadic State of Mind: http://nomadicstate.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4&zenid=g5dfrrkdc0n0mlnbivi6viho60

Both are insanely comfortable.  However, I love the rope sandals so much I wear them for mundane use.

I've worn all sorts of things, from ballet flats to actual ballet slippers. The flats sucked- they just plain old didn't stay on my feet. I lost one in a storm on the last day of faire. I stepped in a puddle and my foot came out, but the shoe didn't. It took some searching to recover it.

The ballet shoes have been my favourite so far. No need to worry about blisters as they conform to the shape of my foot, because of the strap they actually stay on, and because we don't have any paved sites up here it doesn't matter that there's no padding or that the soles are really thin- it's just like walking around barefoot.

I lucked out on my shoes.  I got them from Payless eons ago.  They are a brown fake leather look uppers with a nice thick sole.  They are so very comfy, I wear them with everything at faire.

[McGuinness]

I have a pair of Clark's mary jane style shoes that I've been wearing for a couple seasons now. They are very well made and have held up really well. I highly recommend them for some sturdy leather shoes for under $50-60.

I had a pair of higher boots for rainy days too that I had found at a Goodwill store, but they died last year - they were still comfortable but the eliastic on the buckles broke.

I usually wear a pair of Mary Janes I got at Payless. i think I paid $16 for them. Very comfortable. I just bought a pair of all leather Mary Janes from Masseys in black. They should be very good as they have a thicker sole and sturdier tread on the soles. I paid $60 for them and can wear them outside of faire

Yesterday at the St Louis Ren Faire, I picked up a pair of those green velvet Chinese-type mary janes. I was worried about the sole thickness, but the lady at the booth let me try them on the rocks, and I couldn't feel them! They only accepted cash, and since I only had $7 on me, she let me have them for that (they were marked $8). She said her sister (I think?) who was also there, has had her pair for 10 yrs and they're still good - and you can toss them in the washing machine to clean them. So I'm really hopeful about these!

I have some 10 year old dream shoes that I keep getting re-soled at our local shoe repair.
The same shoes are available at TRF from a shoe vendor that goes by a different name.
They are slightly tudorized leather maryjanes.
I wish I could remember the name.....?
They are very comfortable with about a 1-1/4" thick neoprene sole.

I also have some Spanish Court shoes with pointier toes that Lady Oren made for me.

It is Marcie's Shoes by Renboots.   I have a pair of the old Dreamshoes and some that have been made by Marcie's...the new ones have a lot thicker soles and are just as awesome.  I paid about $60 dollars for my maryjanes and have owned them for 10 years and wear them all the time, not just at faire.

I wear a pair of Brazilian leather boots with a 2 1/2" heel that are not only comfortable, easy to clean the mud off, but keep my skirts from dragging on the ground. The last thing I want for my garb to be doing is drag on the ground and collect mud, sticks, and other stuff that can damage the fabrics.

The reason I wear boots with a higher heel is that I have narrow feet with a high instep. Totally flat shoes, even with some height in the heel puts too much strain and my instep lets me know it. As does my back. Which is why I wear corsets at Faire all day and feel like a million bucks afterwards.

I wear a pair of CAB chocolate brown pirate boots. and they KILL my FEET!! ANyone have any good suggestions?? I wore them the other day at Scarby and my feet were hurting horribly.....I thought I just needed to break them in but I don't think thats the case.

I need a good pair of pirate boots but really good for my feet. Anyone?? My feet will LOVE you!!!

Keeping in mind that my homme fair is in a desert as well as the fact that I run a Birds of Prey stage and frequently have to run some distances-I am wearing

I actually have 2 pair of boots and one pair of sandals-but all are incredibly comfortable-as a matter of fact all of the people who help on stage crew with me as well as all of the performers on my stage wear their products
