You are Made for the Elements . These are your Vans. For Summer 2023, Vans is excited to offer for the first time a brand-new proposition that further extends the versatility of MTE footwear through our UltraRange family: Warm Weather MTE. Replacing the insulation used in our Cold Weather MTE footwear with a thermoregulating, breathable mesh ventilation package that pulls heat off your foot and out to the surface of the shoe to dry, the UltraRange EXO Hi GORE-TEX WW MTE-2 offers the versatility you need to enhance all your warm weather adventures. Paired with a proprietary warm weather-specific All-Trac rubber compound for traction and GORE-TEX’s Invisible Fit waterproof technology for moisture management, this high-top style is truly in a class of its own. It is made with suede, textile, and synthetic uppers. - MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - GORE-TEX ’s Invisible Fit breathable, waterproof technology was originally designed for trail running shoes to be ultra-lightweight and incredibly breathable, with a more natural fit and feel. - THERMOREGULATION - Focused on ventilation to allow for maximum breathability, Vans’ new MTE-2 breathable mesh ventilation package uses single-layer panels of 100% recycled PET mesh that promote ventilation and heat loss, helping to create a drier environment inside your shoe. - TRACTION - The All-Trac MTE-2 outsole offers a rubber compound that provides flexible underfoot lugs to bend with terrain changes, creating more surface area and better variable adaptability. - COMFORT AND SUPPORT - Our UltraRange EXO MTE-2 comfort package uses a single-density OrthoLite sockliner and UltraCush EVA midsole for enhanced comfort and reduced weight, while also supporting a drier, healthier environment inside your shoe. - MOLDED TOE/HEEL PROTECTION - When impact and compression resistance is needed, a TPU molded toe cap is the solution. In addition to adding a little extra space in the toe box, these modeled components offer higher-level abrasion safeguarding and overall protection. Composition: SYNTHETIC, CANVAS, SUEDE

First vans in a long time. I was worried about Florida heat in the traditional MTE’s. These WW breath and my feet don’t burn up. Very comfortable. Needed an all around shoe I can beat up. We’ll see how they hold up next couple years.

I'm a vans person in general so very excited they're making hiking shoes. These are so comfortable. Very nice ankle support. Amazing construction and feel durable. They feel like they'll break in faster than other hiking shoes. There is arch support and cushion insert. Plus they just look so good beyond being very functional.

Been wearing the MTE 2 shoes from vans for a year now. Wanted to try the ultra range version. Insanely narrow footbed and I do not have narrow feet. Feet fell asleep sitting at my desk. Dug into the sides of my feet. Wearing a half size bigger just makes them too big . Try these one before you buy them
