Another obscure question from the newb....how many pairs do ya'll usually take for a weekend?

I was just planning on my sandles (garb-type) and a pair of my cross trainers for the morning jog and drunk-hurdle.

MORNING JOG!?!?! You mean the stubble to the privy? Two pair is all I bring. One for faire and something comfy for afterward to help my feet recover and get ready for the next day of faire.
Don't forget to smell the roses, but watch out for the thorns!

...I'm not gonna get shot at for running through the campgrounds am I?

Yep, 2 pairs normally - faire shoes and something comfy & easy to take on and off for afterwards.  Unless weather is questionable and I may have to change my shoe decision (like boots instead of sandals).
Got faerie dust?

At Scarborough everything turns into a mud pit when it rains so I was thinking about my mud-boots.

I bring faire shoes and a pair of shoes I don't mind getting messed up in the campground and a pair to drive home in (usually sandals) in case the campground shoes are just nasty to wear at the end.
My Lovely Lady on the other hand...
Different faire shoes for whatever garb she will wear, shoes to wear for any situation, sandals to wear on the ride home
She likes her shoes... a lot
a lot and then a lot

Typically, I have the shoes I wear inside, and some easy slip ons (in warm weather, crocs, in cold/wet weather, weatherproofed shearling boots/slippers) Sometimes, in cases of extreme cold/wet, the warm fuzzies get worn inside too (this is also the weather in which you will see fleece pants peeking out at a lady's ankles!) Couple of years ago at closing weekend, it was SO cold and wet I would take off my boots by the heater and my feet would literally steam...

RE: Jogging: If you are up to jogging in the morning, well, wow. But remember, you will be traipsing around a 20 acre park all day, and then will be up till the wee hours amidst drunken revelry... so, dont be TOO hard on yourself if that doesnt work out!

CROCS!?  :o OH HELL NO! I'll wear sequined spiked-heel strippers shoes before I'd wear crocs!

My revelry days are over...I'm planning to set my little trailer juuuuust far enough away that I can get my beauty sleep which I am already so far behind on.

geeez... let me qualify the crocs! They are comfortable, when tromping around camp. I dont wear them INSIDE... (though hubby did once, with a kilt, and got HIGHLY ridiculed for it!)

My feet ache enough after a day in faire, even with GOOD shoes, so why would I NOT wear shoes that feel like walking on clouds? Lol I'm not vain, i dont care how bad they look- and mine are red and go with my penguin jammies (my typical camp-walking garb)

Boots for inside and work boots for around the camp grounds.  I need support the only place I wear sandles is to and from the dojo.

Hercules we normally camp around row 20 were they put in the new road.  Close enought to walk to the different camps for fun but back enough to get a little quiet rest.

Great...so far I've committed to get/receive spankings for beer while wearing spiked-heel stripper shoes.
