You are Made for the Elements™. These are your Vans.
Vans MTE is the byproduct of a lifetime spent outdoors; because we know that the pursuit of your passions isn’t always accompanied by a fair-weather forecast. Rain; sleet; snow; mud; wind-nothing is going to stand between you and your next adventure. In fact; we like to think these all add a bit of flavor to the experience. It’s why we created MTE in the first place.
Delivering on a new promise of an all-weather shoe; the Sk8-Hi MTE-1 builds upon our legendary high top with MTE-1 architecture so that you can stay protected from the elements with classic Vans styling. This heritage silhouette features enhanced thermoregulation properties; the new MTE-1 HydroGuard™ Wrap for moisture management; a lightweight single-density UltraCush™ footbed; and our classic all-conditions rubber in a reverse waffle pattern for traction that keeps you covered from the city streets to the uncharted outdoors. Finished with durable water repellent-treated leather uppers; the Sk8-Hi MTE-1 brings an iconic Vans aesthetic to uncompromising cold weather comfort.
Whether you find yourself bagging snowcapped peaks or braving a rain-soaked commute; you can set off with confidence knowing that every stitch of your equipment is intentionally placed to provide ultimate versatility. After all; we know it was never about the destination. It’s about the stories you create along your journey.
TRACTION – The aggressive reverse waffle lug pattern on our MTE-1 outsole is ready for variable terrain and street performance. The lugged tread pattern features a siped tire-like design for increased traction.
THERMOREGULATION – The zonal MTE-1 Primaloft® insulation package uses a high-quality microfiber thermal insulation system to mimic the warmth-providing properties of down; keeping you warm without retaining water.
MOISTURE MANAGEMENT – The new MTE-1 HydroGuard™ Wrap provides a splash and puddle guard around the shoe and over the toe; resulting in a reliable; comfortable; breathable waterproofing system.
COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE – Our MTE-1 comfort package uses a single-density UltraCush™ molded EVA footbed for enhanced comfort and reduced weight.
