Why these shoes for Tbilisi in May

Tbilisi in May averages highs around 75°F, lows near 55°F, 12 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, light boots, walking shoes — enough range to cover day-to-day walking without overpacking.
