FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Milwaukee in September?
Probably worth it — about 9 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.
What about dressy dinners in Milwaukee?

Any tips for packing shoes for Milwaukee?
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.
