Why Festival Footwear Matters

What Makes Pokeboo Packable Boots Perfect for Festivals?

✨ Award-Winning Japanese Design

With a Good Design Award under their belt, Pokeboo boots combine function and fashion. Inspired by traditional Japanese rice planting boots, they feature a minimalist, form-fitting silhouette that blends in at any festival - from Glasto to Latitude or just camping or glamping out in the wilderness.

💧 100% Waterproof

Made of natural rubber, Pokeboo boots keep your feet completely dry, even when you’re wading through Glastonbury’s iconic mud baths.

👥 Barefoot Feel & Wider Fit

Forget clunky wellies. These boots have a zero-drop, foot-shaped sole that feels natural and provides all-day comfort—essential when you’re dancing from day to night.

Weighing around 500g per pair (less than a bottle of water!), these boots fold down easily and come with a free carry case. Toss them in your backpack and pull them out only when the rain hits.

Remember to check out the Pokeboo Tread boots if the weather is forecast to be dire to have more grip.
