Since this will be my first Sasquatch, I will be wearing my cons that I have had for over ten years. They are retired but still come out on special occasions and for places that I have never been before.

Sambas rule, I've owned like four pairs. I wear Keens to Sasquatch, and I bring my Merrill hikers as well just in case. haha that's exactly what I was going to bring. Keen sandals are the best. I wore them in Europe last summer, and it was nice not having to worry about socks all the time.

i'd just say - don't buy a brand new pair of any type of shoes just to break in at sasquatch. I wore an old pair of running shoes to Sasquatch '08. After the festival I was tired of having my nasal passages remind me of how hot it was at the Gorge, so those shoes were banished outside for the majority of the next couple months. Fearing a return of the stank, I benched the running shoes and I wore (comfortable) sandals everyday at Sasquatch '09. Yes, I got stepped on. Yes, I almost turned into a germaphobe whilst walking through soggy ground near the honey buckets. All in all, it wasn’t that bad (except that at the end of the weekend my feet looked like those of an undocumented individual standing outside the Home Depot). I returned to the running shoes for Sasquatch ‘010. Tuesday morning hit and I put the shoes back on only to notice that my sock was sticking to something inside the shoe. Sometime during the Ween set someone behind me must have spit out their neon green gum that somehow managed to find the gap between my sock and my shoe. Throw in a couple hours of jumping around and that shit wasn’t coming out. These are now my official Sasquatch shoes. While writing this I may have stumbled onto a successful business model: So if i made had some limited addition Sasquatch t-shirts running shoes would people buy them at the festival?

Gathering would be the easy part. I wish I could find a picture of all the shoes left on the hillside at the end of each night. I've had the pleasure of watching a few of these shoeless people making the trek back to the campground.

Comfortable shoes that have been field tested is a must; I think we all agree. If you plan on spending any considerable time in the pit your shoes had better be closed-toed as well. My girlfriend's sandaled foot got stomped real bad a few years back and it made for an uncomfortable remainder of the weekend. Moral of the story: when walking is important, protect your feet!
I do recommend bringing sandals for when you're back at camp, though. As long as they're comfortable and won't give you blisters. When you coop your feet up in shoes/boots and abuse them all day at the festival you will enjoy having more open footwear for around camp.

That's funny. I was going to post a picture of these as well. One of the guys in our group wore these things the entire weekend last year. He swears by them but said you would need to get used to them before wearing them in those conditions for a few days.

I have a friend who wears them running and says they teach your body to run in a completely different way. Your feet hurt like hell for at least a week, but when you condition the right muscles it's actually really good. This is running not Sasquatching, I know, but they have basically no arch support so they do take a lot of getting used to. Like any other item of footwear, you had better field test before committing to a whole weekend in them.

been to 3 bonnaroos and 2 sasquatches. crocs were probably most versatile for rain and heat, then i bring something like merrell hiking shoes if its dry and not too hot. i'll probably just bring some fly sneaks and some hiking shoes this year.

I just can't bring myself to wear crocks..... I JUST CAN'T DO IT! Me neither, and so as far as I know they are actually worth all the attention they've been given. Alls I know is they look silly, appear to function like a glorified sandal, and have their own store devoted to them on Robson Street. This is the trifecta of awful.

That is 100% the trifecta of awful. I have a friend who would hate on them with me.. then, because her boyfriend at the time had a sailboat, she wore them as deck shoes and ever since she has tried to tell me how comfortable they are. She usually just wears them when she goes out on the deck or if she's sailing or something. I have heard they are very comfortable, and they would probably be better for my bad feet.. but I just freaking can't do it!
