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 Los Angeles?

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.
