The $8 Amazon Product That Saved My Feet at Coachella — Plus 11 Other Items to Bring

Frye Harness 12R Boots ($498)

These were my main shoes all weekend, which is a bold choice since they were brand new, but they fully held up. They're sturdy, broken-in, and have enough structure that your feet don't feel completely destroyed by the end of the day. Paired with the heel protectors, they were shockingly comfortable. They also work with basically every outfit, which made packing easier. There's a reason people swear by Frye boots. They're built to last, and that matters at a festival like this. I also didn't feel like I had to baby them because the more worn they are, the better they look.
