FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Porto in May?
Probably worth it — about 8 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

What about dressy dinners in Porto?
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 Porto?
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.
