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 isnt 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. Its why we created MTE in the first place. The UltraRange EXO Hi GORE-TEX MTE-2 is the continuation of this purpose-built, adventure-based mindset. Not only is this shoe modified to stand up to the journey, but it will keep you comfortable in the most uncomfortable of situations. Armed with the UltraRange EXO MTE-2 outsole featuring All-Trac all-weather rubber, a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproof membrane, the MTE-2 3M Thinsulate insulation package, and a molded UltraCush EVA midsole with a TPU heel cradle, this upgraded high top is ready to stand in the rain, romp through the mud, and wade through the snow. . . because we know it was never about the destination. Its about the stories you create along the way. The UltraRange EXO Hi GORE-TEX MTE-2 is made with water repellent suede, textile, and synthetic uppers. TRACTION - The UltraRange EXO MTE-2 outsole features our new All-Trac cold weather rubber compound, a flexible, true all-weather grip that significantly aides in overall traction on all kinds of surfaces. THERMOREGULATION - The MTE-2 3M Thinsulate package is warm, lightweight, powerful, and thin. The extremely fine microfibers in Thinsulate help to trap air and block heat loss, making for an incredibly efficient insulation while still allowing internal moisture to escape. MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - The MTE-2 GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproof membrane, durable water repellent-treated upper, and gusseted tongue maintain breathability while keeping snow and rain out. COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE - Our MTE-2 dual-density comfort package uses a single-density molded open-cell sockliner and an UltraCush EVA midsole with a TPU heel cradle for enhanced comfort and reduced weight.
