FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Denver in September?
Probably worth it — about 7 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.

Any tips for packing shoes for Denver?
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.
