Flip flops

You might figure out that you need to wear flip flops for your Oktoberfest. However, flip flops aren’t appropriate. Wearing them to the festival will never be a smart choice. You will be in beer tents with numerous people. This means that it will be unavoidable to step on someone’s feet. Wearing flip flops and having your feet stepped on by drunken people is not fun. You also need to avoid flip flops because you are likely to be spilt on. By the end of the day, your feet will be sticky, wet and disgusting if you wear flip flops.

You can wear any type of closed shoes to avoid this problem. You can even wear hiking boots and they will do perfectly. Try on anything closed that will go well with your Oktoberfest costume to avoid getting your feet dirty and wet.
