FAQ

Are waterproof shoes necessary in Seoul in March?

Probably worth it — about 7 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.

Do I need boots in Seoul in March?

Yes — average lows near 35°F mean insulated boots will keep your feet from freezing on the walk back to the hotel.

Can I wear sandals in Seoul in March?

Not really — highs around 52°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.

Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Seoul in March?

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 Seoul?

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 Seoul?

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.
