These Low-Top Trainers Low-Key Make the Best Festival Shoes

For the last 10 years, music lovers have congregated at Dodger Stadium every November for Tyler, the Creator's brainchild—Camp Flog Gnaw. This year, top performers such as Doechii, Blood Orange, and Tyler, the Creator himself created the soundtrack for a memorable weekend. Not only was the music on point, but the fashion moments were also undeniable. The perfect mesh of a music festival and carnival, Camp Flog Gnaw serves up a fan base of ultra-stylish festivalgoers who mix and match pieces, and street style and prep influences dominate the scene.
I had the opportunity to attend this year's festivities and had an absolute blast doing so. One pair of shoes got me through everything, from chomping churros and belting songs to racking up my step count—my Converse Run Star Trainers. It's not an understatement to say I've always been a Converse girl. From the aqua-blue Chuck Taylors I wore to Warped Tour at 14 years old to these sleek, cool Run Star Trainers, the brand has always been a go-to for festival fashion.

My Review
As I mentioned, I'm no stranger to the world of Converse, and these cool low-top sneakers were an instant favorite. As far as design goes, the trendy shoes are more than easy on the eyes and pleasing to my style-obsessed soul. Plus, the newly released fall colorways are incredible.
I spent all day walking in these shoes, and comfort-wise, they were pretty solid. If you need extra support for a flat foot, maybe consider swapping in the appropriate insoles, but I had an Achilles injury a couple of years ago and was fine trotting around in the sneakers as they were. They run a little small, so I recommend sizing up for a perfect fit. I'm usually a women's 11, but I opted for a women's 11.5, and that size worked well for me.
If you're looking for stylish festival sneakers or want to refresh your shoe collection, the Run Star Trainers are worth checking out.
