Can I wear recovery slides to a concert?

I played in a sports tournament for 3 days over the weekend followed by a huge amount of walking and standing for a work event on Monday, and my feet are still hurting quite a lot when I walk or stand up a lot (part of my job). I saw the physio (for something else) and there is nothing seriously wrong just bruised muscle in the foot arches from more intense use than usual. Physio said to rest.

Going to the gig of a lifetime tomorrow night, (standing), DH’s birthday present, and am worried about the foot pain. The only shoes that are remotely comfortable are my Hoka recovery slides. Am I insane to wear these to a gig? They cover most of the foot.

It’s a kind of boomer band so no moshing (not for me, anyway!)

I'm sure OP's feet are fine by now, 9 months later.

You don’t need to be registered as disabled or provide any medical documents to purchase disabled seating tickets for a concert.

It is very much my experience as a wheelchair user that YES you DO have to provide proof of disability when buying your tickets. Usually the Nimbus Access Card, this does vary on occasion according to venue but is required more often than not

Oh! I wish I’d seen this before commenting!

You will definitely be trodden on. Think that will hurt more than closed toe shoes.
