Yes — with roughly 10 rainy days in the month, waterproof or water-resistant shoes are a strong bet.

Do I need boots in Kansas City in March?

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 Kansas City?

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.
