Rain or shine, early morning or last set of the night, LANX boots are built to take it all on, whatever the festival throws at them. Whether that's the rough-and-ready resilience of the 365 collection, water-resistant and ready for anything, or the slightly more polished edge of the 1985 collection, carrying a fashionable look without sacrificing a step of comfort.
Festival season is now well and truly underway. The tents are pitched, the playlists are queued, and fields across the country are filling with music lovers and foodies. Whether you’re exploring fields that turn to mud at 3PM, hunting down the best street food, or ready to dance until the sun comes up, a proper pair of footwear is essential for long days on your feet.
Join Lucy & Will and Lydia & Tyler at the Great Estate Festival in Cornwall as they show that LANX boots are festival-proof.
THE 365 COLLECTION
Her: Ogden Taupe & Brown | Edgworth Brown Distressed
Him: Twiston Dusk | Ribchester Brown Distressed
We’ve all been there, standing on the ground that was dry this morning that’s now become a landslide of mud and puddles - that’s the type of festival where you need a pair of boots from the LANX 365 collection. Featuring a reassuringly grippy Vibram sole and made with water-resistant materials, you can rest assured that if the conditions underfoot take a turn for the worst, you won’t need to sacrifice your good spot at the front of the crowd.
Lucy’s Ogden Taupe & Brown and Will’s Twiston Dusk were put through their paces, where thankfully the weather played ball. From the first recce of the site to the last lap of the fair as the sun went down, their boots kept up with their exploration to find all the hidden gems.
As for Lydia and Tyler, they took their Edgworth and Ribchester boots, both in the Brown Distressed colourway, for a wander around the dusty tracks and trampled grass. Featuring a comfort-padded insole, a breathable interior lining, and a durable elastic gusset for easy on-and-off, these styles are comfortable right out of the box for a weekend on your feet - even if they are 2 left feet.
The beauty of the 365 collection is its versatility. For women, styles like Ogden and Edgworth pair perfectly with straight-leg denim, oversized knitwear, utility jackets, and relaxed festival dresses. Layer with a waterproof overshirt or lightweight trench and you've got a look that's ready for whatever the forecast throws your way.
For men, the Twiston and Ribchester work effortlessly with rolled chinos, cargo trousers, heavyweight tees, and overshirts. Add a waxed jacket or fleece layer for cooler evenings, and you've got a festival outfit that's equal parts practical and stylish.
THE 1985 COLLECTION
Her: Reed Brown | Whalley Chestnut Grained
Him: Settle Brown Distressed | Hoghton Brown Distressed
Don’t be fooled by their appearance; the boots from our 1985 collection are just as durable as they are easy on the eye. Made in a variety of colours and built on sturdy rubber soles, if you’re looking for something you can wear through the festival this weekend, then all week in the office, then polish up for a drink in the pub, then look no further than our 1985 boots.
Lucy and Will took their boots (Reed Brown for her and Settle Brown Distressed for him) for a spin around the forest tracks and fun-fair fields, not letting a little bit of loose terrain underfoot stop them from exploring the entire site. With their neutral colouring, chunky rubber soles, and comfortable leather lining, these boots handle all aspects of the day with ease.
Lydia opted for the Whalley Chestnut Grained and Tyler for the Hoghton Brown Distressed, enjoying a laid-back afternoon of good food and exploration. The hiker-style lacing of the Whalleys makes for a customisable, comfortable fit, while the slip-on ease of the Hoghton chelsea means there's never a beat missed.
If your festival style leans a little more fashion-forward, the 1985 collection strikes the perfect balance between heritage design and practicality. For women, Reed and Whalley look right at home with floaty midi dresses, oversized denim jackets, linen shirts and relaxed tailoring. They're the kind of boots that elevate an outfit without looking like you've tried too hard.
For men, Settle and Hoghton pair effortlessly with dark denim, textured knitwear, chore jackets, and smart-casual layering. Ideal for boutique festivals, food festivals, and countryside events where style is just as important as comfort.
Sometimes you want to elevate your festival look without sacrificing practicality or comfort. For those moments, you can trust that a pair of 1985 boots will see you through.
