FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Miami in January?
Probably worth it — about 7 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

Not really — average lows near 59°F stay above the boot threshold. A supportive sneaker is enough.

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 Miami?

Any tips for packing shoes for Miami?
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.
