sherryr224 Posted July 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I dont have waterproof shoes, but i have winter snow boots. Would this work or would it be too hot and out of place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted July 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Won't need boots. They'd be too much. Sneakers or hiking shoes are plenty. I wore my Keens Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkunk Posted July 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2017 We wore hiking shoes and just waterproofed them before we left. We had a lot of rain and they worked great! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted July 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I have goretex hiking shoes, and that was my main shoe for Alaska (and yes, I needed them because we did *actual* hiking, not just walking around ports ;-) But we didn't have much rain - but you never know, better safe than sorry when it comes to rain!! We were in shorts in Ketchikan (in September!) which is truly odd - but I can't imagine having winter boots be my only footwear. Southeast Alaska really isn't that *cold* during the summer. Check the forecast before you leave, pack layers, waterproof jacket & shoes, and have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted July 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2017 We've been on three Alaska cruises. Any closed walking shoes will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peymas Posted July 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I dont have waterproof shoes, but i have winter snow boots. Would this work or would it be too hot and out of place? I wore tennis shoes, but I did spray them a few times with waterproofing spray. No problem with wet feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina del Mar Posted July 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just used trainers and sandals for our August Alaska cruise. Bought second pair in Seattle prior to departure to have change of closed footwear if needed, (they weren't !!) We had very little rain . On Princess helicopter tour to Mendelhall Glacier, over shoes were provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted July 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2017 A good tread is almost more important than waterproof. Waterproof can make your feet sweat, water resistant should be fine for regular touring. Back onboard, change shoes. Making sure your touring shoes are as wide open as possible to dry out.
