At the last event I attended, I think the majority of people were wearing sneakers. Some modern boots, a couple cleats (soccer maybe), and a couple medieval looking costume shoes.
I'm curious what you wear and what you see and what you prefer.
With decent costume shoe covers, I think sneakers or cleats could look OK (I mean they look as good as the shoe covers). Most people didn't bother with shoe covers from what I saw so the sneakers and cleats looked bad. Boots already look OK (many of them), and the fancy costume things look real nice.
So I prefer seeing the medieval costume footgear, but I wear sneakers. Sneakers I can wear every day in real life (so not an extra expense) and they are not too bad for my flat feet.
