Are waterproof shoes necessary in Lucerne in April?
Yes — with roughly 12 rainy days in the month, waterproof or water-resistant shoes are a strong bet.

Not really — highs around 55°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.

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 Lucerne?
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 Lucerne?
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.
