Music Festivals Shoes That Won't Give You Blisters
Finding the right shoes for your favorite music festival often poses a bit of a conundrum: Do you want to look fly, or do you want to survive a long day of standing? Luckily, you can have your cake and eat it too, since there are lots of comfortable music festival shoes that will keep you from dying of blister-pain. Honestly, there are so many shoes out in the world that are both comfy and fabulous — you don't have to make your feet be the ultimate sacrifice to your love of music.
Depending on what your personal style is (or even what the style of the music festival you're attending is) there are lots of different options. Are you more of a free spirit? Pearlized pink T-strap Birkenstocks might just be your game. Are you into that whole low-key model off duty look? Simple-yet-stylish white Converse are probably worth looking into. Love all things feminine and quirky? Well, floral Keds are always fun. Heck, if you're feeling really adventurous, flatform sandals are sure to be a crowd pleaser all around.
So, ready to find your next music festival feet-saviors? Read on for some of the most fun (yet comfy!) Coachella-appropriate shoe options around!
