Not sure of the distances, but I find walking extremely difficult in the heat and humidity of Bali. We've found that if you've been doing a bit of exercise in the weeks leading up to the trip, the going is much easier.
An example of a doable walk is from Jl Bakungsari near Kuta Square up to Jl Werkudara up near the Jayakarta Hotel. It's a long hard slog in the heat... about 2 or 3km dodging people and traffic. But it's not really necessary unless you're planning to stop and see things along the way because cabs are so cheap.
If you're carrying extra baggage (in the form of shopping or otherwise), you will struggle to get that far. :)
