FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Zurich in November?
Yes — with roughly 10 rainy days in the month, waterproof or water-resistant shoes are a strong bet.

Any tips for packing shoes for Zurich?
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.
