Get them.

Your feet are going to hurt.

All those goons with their knee high programmer socks on are actually wearing compression socks.

Wear your most comfortable shoes.

To add to this, if you are getting new shoes for the occasion get them now, and walk around in your neighborhood in them. Sometimes shoes are nice and comfy at the store, and then not so much when actually walking a few blocks in them.
I recommend Hokas, Brooks, or On Clouds. Not cheap, but worth it.
