Woah, not all crocs look extremely ugly!?
You learn something new every day.
I just do what Juggz said. Pair of flip flops (my birkenstock's do me justice) and a pair of sneakers (New Balance FTW!) I imagine a pair of TOMs Shoes would not be comfortable as they lack support and have a weak sole

Sneakers and Crocs are both ugly. When I wear sandals and flip flops my toes always get trampled on not to mention filthy dirty. Any other suggestions on a super comfy shoe that looks good and is good for walking and dancing?
I just bought a pair of the Sanuk yoga mat sandals and so far they have been awesome! Super cushy and form to your feet. I think these and my Crocs will be all I need this year.
I'm cheap. I got some from eBay that i'm gonna try. 7 day return policy if it doesn't fit. Hopefully once I try them on, I'll keep em but if they don't fit I know what to look for. I also saw some on Craigslist. Yeah, they're not new, but some people only wear them a few times, grow tired of it (think its ugly? lol) and they sit around for a while until they finally decide to sell it. Some of them look pretty new. sanitize it, and recycle! lol
Yeah.... i really am cheap. *sigh* damn economy! lol I'd go buy new ones, but they're at least $30 usually and I couldn't figure out where to find them near home (even though I read where to go on their site). Wanted to avoid shipping or at least know what style/size works for me. I know $30 is great compared to many other shoes discussed, but I have so many little expenses that add up, that I gotta get the cheapest deal possible. Oh well... wish me luck with the eBay ones! I hope they fit!
Personally, I don't wear shoes in that olivia sorta way. Im addicteed to sneakers, so the regular clogs might work best for my style. Nothing against anyone that likes the Olivia crocs style though. I also like the Crocband style: www.crocs.com/crocs-crocband/11016,default,pd.html?cid=610&cgid=women-footwear
Anyone see their rain boots? now THOSE are extremely hideous, in my opinion. If anyone knows of regular rain boots for real cheap, spread your knowledge. Cheapest I can find is pretty much $17 at Walmart, I think.

I swore by crocs for the last 5 years until last year when i slid and fell in the mud right before girltalk ( f*cking embarrassing at the time but now that i think about it, fucking hilarious to everyone around for sure. Im 6'4 300lbs, big tree fall hard) . I have now, through the guidance of many inforooers, made a full swith to sanuks. And im loving every minute of it. I have not worn them to a festival so this isnt my full review but they are comfortable as L*no.
I like those! ooh! kinda looks like a more breathable version of a sneaker, lol...
Teva Karnali Wraptor. Honestly I'm not sure if they make them anymore but you can still find them, cheap. I paid $100 for mine, but I do a lot of festivals, so totally worth it.

I wore Keens for about a year and a half (other than maybe a few snowy days) and generally loved them. The elastic cord tightening system could use some work, it works it's way loose before long and you have to re-tighten it, but still excellent, excellent sandals. Just got my first pair of Chacos and I'm loving them so far. I don't seem to get as much detritus in between my foot and the sole as I did with Tevas and Keens, perhaps because it's a tighter fit? They definitely grip my foot better than my Sanuks did, HOWEVER - I can see the straps possibly causing some major rub spots on my feet if I was walking miles on them every day like one would at Roo. I guess there's nothing to do except try and see!
I just found out about Keen shoes, and my friends who wear them love them. I'm about to pick up a pair, and see how they hold up at roo...
It will be the best money you ever spent on shoes! I bought a pair two years ago and have worn them to Roo twice, with no blisters, swelling or sore feet. Bought a different color this year because they were on sale. I LOVE Keens.

I've had my keens for 3 summers now and they're still my favorite. I tried on a pair of vibram fivefingers yesterday and my feet said "not worth 60 bucks, dude. Stick with the keens". I'm still confused about what the big deal about Sanuks is. Is the sole made of the lovechild of a cloud and a tempurpedic matress?

Flip flops + substance abuse does not bode well for the individual
That is HILARIOUS. In fact both of those should be PSAs...but anyway, back to foot-ware.
The advantages of Sanuk's are: they come in a lot of different, mainly attractive, styles. They're light, have soft soles, dry fast if they get wet, stay on your feet well, don't have any straps or buckles to rub you, and are very affordable, esp. if you can catch an internet deal. If you get the right size and style for your foot and give yourself a few days to break them in, you will probably never need another pair of festie "shoes".

Anywho... I was lookin through google pictures and I found these rain boots and now I really want em cause they match EXACTLY with a headband/buff I have. Any ideas where to find it? I doubt anyone would know since it's a specific design, but it's worth a shot!

I already looked online, and they have cute designs...but not this 1. I dunno what to even search for. No idea what to call this design. :-\
I bought my headband from eBay so I may try messaging the seller to see if they know the name of the fabric or company that makes it or something...
See? Perfect match:
The pattern is known as both "Swirl" and "Electric Ooze", the color is "Neon". Target used to sell those exact boots for $20 (as the Electric Ooze pattern, color: Neon) but they no longer carry them.
Perhaps a pair will come up on eBay for you? Or maybe just grab the Black & White pair and color in the white spots with a bunch of colored Sharpie markers? Good luck with your search. Wish I could help some more.
Does anyone know if watershoes are any good in the mud/rain??
Watershoes worked okay for me the first day...until I got a HUGE blister on the bottom of my foot. By the second day I had to switch to my ugly, white, mom tennis shoes (that I brought as back-up). Those worked well, but were not stylish at all.
How do Crocs do in the mud? Last year I saw too many people losing their shoes, especially flip-flops. Plus how's the traction in the mud with Crocs?
I really don't have ANY shoes that I can wear to 'Roo this year. It's a tough decision, because if my feet aren't happy, I'm not happy.
