FAQ

Are waterproof shoes necessary in Toronto in April?

Yes — with roughly 11 rainy days in the month, waterproof or water-resistant shoes are a strong bet.

Do I need boots in Toronto in April?

A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 37°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.

Can I wear sandals in Toronto in April?

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 Toronto in April?

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 Toronto?

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 Toronto?

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.
