Once we are locked standing on uneven paving for hours of First Randoli, are closed-toe shoes clearly better than flip-flops. Not wet-socks drying and not cobbler strap repair.

Closed-toe wins for hours on uneven paving — flip-flops slip, collect grit, and offer no protection when the crowd shifts. Wear what you can stand in until late evening.

If you already arrived in flip-flops, claim a calmer curb where you will not be shuffled as hard.
