Equally important is the need for a second pair of shoes. There is always a high probability of dew on the practice field in the morning. And who knows what precipitation will occur throughout each day. Having a second pair of older shoes (and extra socks) is always a good idea. This allows band members to wear the older shoes in the wet conditions and then change into dry socks and dry shoes during the lunch break. This prevents further skin irritations and blisters.
Shoes are a very important part of marching band rehearsals. Shoes that are comfortable but let your feet breathe to stay cooler are best. Running shoes are recommended due to their increased padding and support designed to reduce impact stress. To lessen the number of blisters caused by new shoes, it is critical that they be purchased as soon as possible and worn immediately to break them in. Rehearsal’s are tough and they don’t stop when someone gets a blister. They get a bandage applied and sent back into the ranks.
