Vans MTE: And the Elements Have No Chance

The popular Vans MTE line of durable shoes continues to grow, offering you even more options for use in harsh conditions. In addition to typical winter shoes, you'll also find models suitable for warmer weather, the outdoors and the roughest terrain.

The big change in the model range is also the new terminology, which should help you find your way around the wide collection. Here's the Vans MTE in a nutshell!

MTE

In the basic version of durability, the Vans MTE shoes have a water-repellent DWR coating that takes care of comfort in wet weather, does not shy away from just any puddle and can cope even with minor rain. With a grippy All-Trac outsole, it's a top choice for the city and outdoor excursions.

Warm Weather MTE

Durable footwear for the warmer seasons is suitable for outdoor trips and hiking. The insulation in these models is replaced by breathable mesh to prevent overheating.

MTE Waterproof

Under this name are waterproof shoes that will keep you dry even when heavy rain falls.

MTE Insulated

MTE insulated models are the ideal choice for colder weather, because they'll protect your feet from the cold and make you feel like you're wearing cotton.

MTE Waterproof Insulated

The combination of waterproof technology and effective insulation is perfect for winter conditions. Add to that a grippy outsole with a reverse take on the legendary waffle pattern, and you have the optimal mix for winter in the city and beyond.

 

MTE GORE-TEX

The iconic GORE-TEX brand is how you'll know the best-performing shoes for the harshest conditions. With proven, cutting-edge technology, they're guaranteed to keep you dry and keep moisture from reaching your feet, while allowing water vapor to escape from the shoe.

Vans MTE Technology Equipment

Waterproof

Waterproofness is a key feature of the shoes. That's why MTE shoes feature functional waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX or HydroGuard 360° membranes, or an eco-friendly DWR treatment without PFCs.

Insulation

Protection from the cold is provided by superior insulation made from Duratherm, Primaloft, or other breathable, lightweight and extremely warm material that keeps your feet warm no matter what's going on outside.

Outsole

Excellent traction in the snow or wet terrain is provided by the All-Trac outsole, which retains its flexibility even in cold temperatures, and a coarse reverse waffle pattern inspired by the characteristic Vans sneaker outsoles.
