FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Busan in May?
Probably worth it — about 9 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.
Do I need boots in Busan in May?
Not really — average lows near 55°F stay above the boot threshold. A supportive sneaker is enough.
Can I wear sandals in Busan in May?
Yes, for midday. Highs around 69°F are on the edge, so plan a backup for cooler mornings and evenings.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Busan in May?
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 Busan?
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.
Any tips for packing shoes for Busan?
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.
