FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in San Antonio in January?
Probably worth it — about 8 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.
Do I need boots in San Antonio in January?
A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 40°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.
Can I wear sandals in San Antonio in January?
Not really — highs around 62°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in San Antonio in January?
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 San Antonio?
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 San Antonio?
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.
