Do i need to wear boots in philadelphia during the winter?

it wouldn't hurt. you probabaly wouldn't get that much use out of them....the winters there are hit or miss. you could get an inch, sometimes it'll snow so bad and you could get a couple feet.

I'd say bring them. When it snows in Philly, it tends to get very slushy. You don't want to be walking through all that and get your feet wet and cold. What's the worst that can happen, you bring them and don't wear 'em. No biggie. Hey, good luck with school!

In the winter, if it don't snow, it will rain. It's pretty wet during the winter as well as fall and spring. It's always good to have a pair of boots handy in Philly.

bring the boots. snow here isn't like it use to be, but the cold rain and puddles will make you thank your dad.

Yup, you are going to thank your Dad in Feburary!! Best thing I ever bought!! If you have to walk a dog, walk to class or anything that makes you walk through that slush- they are well worth it!

It gets slushy when it snows and rains here, and there are ofte big, icy puddles. I didn't have boots my first two winters here and I ruined a ton of shoes. Plus, there are beautiful places to go hiking on the east coast, if you're into that.

Bring them. After it snows there will be slush on the streets for a week, because some lazy didn't shovel.

If you like walking around in the snow & getting your feet soaking wet & cold, leave them at home. If not, take them with you.

Yeah you might want to bring a pair of snow boots. We do get snow in the winter. and the last thing you want is to be walking around the city freezing you butt and feet off. better safe than sorry. Jan and feb are very very cold months here Honey so you better bundle up.
