Be like every other hippie...Birkenstocks. But for real i only wear them for concerts they are so comfortable for me. I wore these quicksilver flip flops to a rusted root concert the other night and it was a big mistake. I couldn't stand anymore and my back was killing me. Birks help with this for some reason!

Socks with styrofoam cups cut up to fit ball of foot and heel and placed in the sole,
not good vs. puke and urine but as close as I'd go to bare foot,
which in my opinion is the "best"

Assuming you're talking about summer and it's warm:
Lawn = flip flops -> bare feet
Pavs = running sneaks (I'm an asics guy) or maybe skate flats.

They are adjustable to your level of rocking out...

Seriously though, I have been wearing Vibram Five Fingers to shows since 2010 and I find they are perfect. There's only really TWO drawbacks...

1- They can REALLY get to smelling, like, BAD so you have to wash them often and they take longer to dry than I had thought they would.

2- Beer spillage, yeah it just sort of gets in there and STAYS in there, doesn't help the above smell issue.

Great footing for steep lawns though.

kipconner 7/02/12 11:18 am

I'm a big fan of socks only. You do a lot of walking before the show and it's nice to take your shoes off. I also carry a mat that I stand on- helps me stake my claim in a 4^2 foot area and can be cleaned off easily.

When shoes have to be worn- I go with Keen's with the Vibram soles. You want something that is comfortable, but also something that can dry quickly in case you get a summer storm before or during the show.

I would never recommend anything that wont stay attached to your feet , such as straight flips. Even Chacos would be a better option for their stability. Flip flips were never designed to be danced in and the chance of a blow out is likely. At the end of the night I can't tell you how many paris of abandoned flip and birks are in the venue.
