Vans took a classic and made it fit for the elements with this MTE model. A Scotchgaurd-treated leather upper and re-enforced toecap withstands repeated wear and looks good too. Vans also upgraded the inside of this shoe, outfitting it with a heat retention layer between the sockliner and outsole to keep your feet warm all day long. Finally, the vulcanized lug outsole incorporates years of snow boot technology for ultimate traction on any surface. The Sk8-Hi MTE is timeless, warm and comfortable.
