Can I wear sandals in San Francisco next week or will it be too cold?
Hey! Welcome! My short answer is no, leave them at home.





Longer answer:





I think it depends a lot on where you are coming from. Today was a splendid perfect day but I wouldn't have worn sandals because I am from Florida and even perfect days here seem a little chilly to me. Part of the problem with sandals is that this city is all about layers and you can't really layer shoes. A hot afternoon will still be in the high sixties at night. It is windy too. When driving into the city, I always bring a jacket because it always gets colder and if I don't I regret. However, if you are coming from Montreal or Chicago, even low sixties to you might not be a big deal. If you are not prepared for bare toes in 64 degrees and high winds, that's your answer.





Also, if you are not familiar with the Bay Area, be sure you are staying in S.F. Because if you are staying in Oakland or the South Bay (and driving in to S.F.) it gets much warmer. Palo Alto and San Jose get damned hot.
Reply:You could have last week. But not today. Well bring them as it should be up to 65 next week but downtown is always warmer
Reply:Depends where in SF, some places are colder than other. I wore sandals there last weekend and the weather was warmer than usual, but my feet were a little chilly :/
Reply:I'd bring them because you never know how cold it will be in the city. Be sure to bring a jacket and perhaps a sweater too. Leave the shorts home, for it isn't quite warm enough for them yet.
Reply:Pffft .... wear them. Then people won't mess with ya! They will think that you are tough! :-)
