Me and my partner are travelling you Krakow next week but I'm not too sure which type of footwear I need(male).

What do Polish males typically wear during this time of year? I was thinking maybe hiking boots?

Hiking boots would indeed be best. Waterproof them, because there can be lots of snow and slush.

Sandals and flip-flops. Socks on.

Only in Białystok! Lighter footwear helps when you are running away from the polar bears!

Just get the perfect ones though so people will think you are Polish. We Poles wear only one type of boots in winter so we can easily see if there's a foreigner around.

well I dont know about Krakow but I was just walking round Prague which probably has similar weather, and yes u need hiking boots with a good grip. It was minus something and very icy.

Provide yourself with thick-soled shoes or boots, this January welcomed us with loads of snow and occassional temperature drops below -20 C.
