FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Toronto in September?
Probably worth it — about 9 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.
Do I need boots in Toronto in September?
Not really — average lows near 53°F stay above the boot threshold. A supportive sneaker is enough.
Can I wear sandals in Toronto in September?
Yes, for midday. Highs around 68°F are on the edge, so plan a backup for cooler mornings and evenings.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Toronto in September?
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 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.
