I like Herc, he's with me on the anti-croc crusade...though an economy size bottle of Private Stock could convince me to wear a pair for a day...but then again I'm a whore.

My two pairs of boots, and like many others, driving shoes depending on the weather.

I have a pair of ghillies from nativework shoes that are awsome.  After that it is flipflops or boots

Laird Fraser of Lovatt

I wear calf length hippie boots, without the fringe, with my kilt.  Around camp, depending on the weather, sandals or jump boots.

Crocs are incredibly comfortable and are great lake-shoes so all ya'll haters can just shush! They make pairs that doen't have holes in them so you can't even tell they're Crocs!

:P

For faire, depending on the weekend, includes a pair of flip flops, a pair of tennies, my regular boots, my rain boots, and hopefully a pair of ghillies soon...and don't forget to bring a bunch of extra pairs of socks, you never know how moist/dewy the campgrounds will be in the morning or if it'll be real rainy....plus it got colder than snot the last weekend I was out last season which was Highland Fling.
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)

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!

Sorry. Try 53 acres of sometimes questionable terrain inside the gates plus the long hike/crawl to/from wherever you choose to camp.

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


Seen those out there too many times. In the mornings.... Seen the same pairs later in the day being handheld whilst the owner tearfully tried to gimp their way to the gate, barefoot.

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

Naah. You're just a rennie.  ;)

If you are prone to blisters, I'd bring 2 pairs of garb shoes.

I'd do this regardless the first month. It's hot, you're sweaty, and do you want to put your feet back into wet boots?

I will have three pair this year. My boots for inside faire, a pair of flip flops for around camp (and the airplane ride into town), and my warm fuzzy boots in case it gets cold.

uh, no, sorry. I was referring to the stripper boots. They have their place but faire ain't it.
But I don't like crocs either.
