FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Colorado Springs in May?
Probably worth it — about 9 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 41°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.
Can I wear sandals in Colorado Springs in May?
Yes, for midday. Highs around 68°F are on the edge, so plan a backup for cooler mornings and evenings.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Colorado Springs in May?
Two pairs is safer — wet cold months punish a single pair. Pack a weather-ready primary and a dry backup.
What about dressy dinners in Colorado Springs?
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 Colorado Springs?
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.
