Stage attire

[Holdsg]

Doc Martins or Vans. I seem to be in good company

Cowboy boots for my occasional country thing

about playing on concrete: bring a small cushy rug. makes a big difference.

I wear these, they work as well with Jeans and a T-Shirt as they do with a tucked-in Button-down. SUPER comfortable.

It completely depends on the band.

Generally I wear my Dan Post Lizard skin boots… or other boots in my collection…

What kind of shoes do y'all wear on gigs?

All black Sketchers that don't look like tennis shoes. Very comfortable but unobtrusive.

 

[cymbop]

We play in t-shirts with our band name (they sell like hotcakes) and we all wear red, white & blue Adidas sneakers.

 

[Stevorebob]

A notch or two cooler than the audience, never less.

I wore boots on stage most of my career. If I'm dressing up for the gig, it's dress shoes. As I'm feeling the years more in my body, I'm wearing black sneakers for comfort.

You're supposed to wear something on stage?

Hello, Flea. Honoured to make your acquaintance.

One can re-sole Red Wings. Just remember to have heel guards installed to lengthen the life of the sole.

My band mates said "Red Wings are expensive!" I replied; "Sure are. And a re-sole costs as much as a pair of Doc Martens. My Red Wing shoes are both over 10 years old now. How many pairs of shoes have y'all gone through in that time?"

I bought a pair of Dr. Martens. «For Life» boots about 12 years ago. When one pair is worn out, I get a new pair for free, minus shipping and handling.

Preferably with an Aloha shirt.

Also goes great with cargo shorts. A music stand with charts for Mustang Sally really rounds out the look.

What are the best shoes for metal?

 

[MegaSwing]

Adidas Superstars come in EVERY color. I wear black ones with a suit on occasion. Tennies don’t get more classic than this!

 

[SteveHeissner]

Tecovas ostrich skin cowboy boots.

I'm in the UK. I'm confused what conditions would necessitate the wearing of pants and a coat as outerwear.
