Gig Footwear?

[GBBSbassist]

Oh I see you play BOTH kinds of music. ... Country AND Western





What the hell kind of music are you playing??

Sock N Roll

Thought those were tiger feet on first glance. You missed a Mud joke by *this* much.

Having recently discovered Powerstep insoles, all my shoes and boots are now potentially gig shoes. I used Superfeet insoles back in the 'oughts as a leg in the Army, but I find them a bit stiff and unforgiving for standing around.

Late to the party here, but when I do gig, I show my colors....

Cherry Red Doc Martens. Always.

We used to call that colour "Oxblood."
I had a pair of Dr. Marten's from 1981 (11 hole) in black that I used to wear a lot (lost in fire).
I also have some leather black Chuck Taylor's that work great.

Another favourite pair from the 80s was a pair of fashion boxer's boots (not real athletic wear but looked like it).

I wear my dress-black Birkenstocks. With black socks. I don’t think anyone has noticed.

Pretty much the same thing I wear all the time everywhere...Corcoran tactical hikers. Comfy, light, supportive, waterproof.

would you be surprised if I told you I'm already on my 2nd leopard pair?

I think we both wore these at Halloween?

Pretty sure I got these new at Goodwill in a 2pak, maybe they "fell off the Costco truck" by the GW receiving area

Ahhh, Halloween... I remember it like it was every day

If I was in a band I would wear Leprechaun shoes with giant curly toes.

My fiance hates these but the stripes glow in UV light

 

[bcouper]

Barefootin it most of the time. Boots otherwise.

I think the simple answer here is wear whatever feels comfortable.

Generally I wear sneakers or cowboy boots depending on how I'm feeling.

Whatever looks good, and feels comfortable.

What do you wear to your gigs.

For me, its sneakers for bar gigs and SAS black loafers for everything else. The SAS are ridiculously overpriced ($200) but very comfortable and last a very long time. My kids have recommended a $$$ surgery shoe.

Usually, I wear calf high black leather high-heeled boots.

Chuck Taylor hi tops (black or blue) when the weather is warm
Dr Martens 1460s (black or red) when it's cooler

I have other shoes but the above is my usual stage wear. I draw the line at sandals onstage, for me, but I wouldn't dictate what anyone else can/should wear; that's fascism.
