FAQ

Are waterproof shoes necessary in Aurora in August?

Probably worth it — about 9 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

Many travelers do fine with one strong walking pair. Add a second only if you need dress shoes or a wet-weather dedicated option.

What about dressy dinners in Aurora?

Most cities accept clean sneakers or light boots for smart-casual dinners. If you have a black-tie night, pack one dress shoe and wear your walking pair on the plane.
