FAQ

Are waterproof shoes necessary in Aurora in September?

Probably worth it — about 7 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

Can I wear sandals in Aurora in September?

Yes, for midday. Highs around 77°F are on the edge, so plan a backup for cooler mornings and evenings.

Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Aurora in September?

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.

Wear the bulkiest pair on the plane, stuff socks into the packed pair, and use a shoe bag so damp soles do not ruin clothes. Pack a thin spare pair of socks for rainy days.
