Why these shoes for Bali in December

Bali in December averages highs around 88°F, lows near 77°F, 24 rainy days.

Waterproofing is the deciding factor — expect wet sidewalks and occasional downpours, so anything porous is going to soak through by lunch.

Plan on two pairs — one built for the weather extremes and a lighter backup for evenings and dry stretches.

Our picks focus on packable rain shoes, breathable sneakers, traction sneakers — enough range to cover day-to-day walking without overpacking.
