Recommended footwear.

Does the weather next week indicate sandals or closed shoes?

Based on the forecast for next week in San Diego, you’ll want a mix of footwear — something comfortable for walks, but also breathable and easygoing. The temperatures range from the low 50s °F (around 11–12 °C) at night to the low 70s (around 21–23 °C) during the warmest days.

Here’s what I’d recommend:

  • Closed shoes / sneakers: Definitely a good idea for daytime walking, especially in the cooler mornings or evenings, or if you plan to do a lot of walking or sightseeing. A lightweight pair of sneakers or casual walking shoes will keep your feet comfortable and protected.
  • Sandals: Yes, you can wear sandals during the warmer parts of the day (especially mid- to late afternoon). Choose a comfortable, supportive pair (straps + cushioned footbed) rather than flimsy flip-flops — you might walk a lot.
  • Optional: A pair of low-cut hiking shoes or trail sneakers if you’re planning to do any nature walks or post-sunset strolls.

In short: Bring both a good pair of closed shoes and a comfortable pair of sandals. That combo will give you flexibility throughout the day, depending on the temperature and what you're doing.
