STAY WARM,
DRY & IN CONTROL.
We’ve spent a lifetime outdoors. Creating all over the planet. From the mountains to the seas, the outdoors has always been our canvas. VANS MTE™ was made to keep you outside and exploring no matter the weather. Built on three key principles of moisture management, thermoregulation, and added traction to handle the elements. VANS MTE will take you to places you never expected.
- DON’T SWEAT THE WEATHER
- DON’T GET COLD FEET
- DON’T TRIP
DON’T SWEAT
THE WEATHER
STAY DRY AND PROTECTED.
There’s almost nothing worse than wet feet in your shoes. That’s why all MTE footwear now comes standard with a waterproof and breathable moisture management system. From full collar height offerings to lower waterline selections, MTE has you covered.
DON’T GET
COLD FEET
THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE AT ALL TIMES.
You know what is actually worse than wet feet? Cold feet. No one likes ’em and that’s the reason MTE footwear now has fully upgraded cold weather thermal regulation packages. Partnering with reputable insulation experts, 3M™ Thinsulate™ and PrimaLoft®, Vans MTE is committed to a new promise of warmth.
DON’T TRIP
OPTIMIZED TRACTION FOR UNPREDICTABLE TERRAIN.
True traction is comprised of two key elements. The first is a purposeful tread pattern designed for versatility. An intelligent tread design helps provide not only grip in variable terrain, but also optimal braking and propulsion power. Equally as important to an outsole is rubber, the very feature the Van Doren Rubber Company was built upon. In addition to our classic all-conditions rubber found on all MTE-1 models, Vans is introducing All-Trac™, a new proprietary rubber compound that has been optimized for variable terrain and weather conditions. Wherever you’re going, go with the confidence that only 50+ years of outsole design and rubber innovation can provide.

SNOW DAY
Protection from the elements with Vans classic styling, MTE™-1 delivers on a new promise of an all-weather product.
MTE-1 WATER RESISTANT PACKAGE
The MTE-1 water resistant package is built to keep you dry in most conditions. A zonal layering of watertight membranes keeps high-soak area’s from leaking in so wet socks don’t ruin your day.
PRIMALOFT® COLD WEATHER THERMAL PACKAGE
PrimaLoft has been in the advanced materials technology solution game since 1983. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, their high-quality microfiber thermal insulation systems mimic the warmth-providing properties of down, and have become synonymous with cold weather comfort. PrimaLoft fabric has millions of air pockets that actually trap and preserve body heat, and also contain fibers that are treated so that they don’t retain water.
MTE-1 OUTSOLE
Aggressive reverse waffle lug pattern for variable terrain and street performance. Lugged tread pattern features a siped tire-like design for increased traction.
Activity-inspired and adventure-based, MTE™-2 offers new levels of day-to-day versatility.
GORE-TEX™ WATERPROOF PACKAGE
GORE-TEX has been an innovator and industry leader in high-performance waterproof-breathable technology since 1969. Each square inch of a GORE-TEX membrane has nine billion pores—and every of those tiny holes is 20,000 times smaller than a single droplet of water. Each one of those billions of pores is also 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule, which is the key to breathability and allowing internal moisture to escape as body heat and temperature rise. Simply put, rain and snow cannot get in and the GORE-TEX “GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™” promise is trusted in any condition.
3M THINSULATE™ COLD WEATHER THERMAL PACKAGE
3M Thinsulate Insulation is warm, lightweight, powerful, and thin. The extremely fine microfibers in Thinsulate Insulation help to trap air and block body radiant heat loss, making for an incredibly efficient insulation while still allowing internal moisture to escape. A high warmth-to-thickness ratio also enables reduced bulk and advanced freedom of movement. In other words, Thinsulate material traps more air in less space, giving your foot more room to breathe.
ALL-TRAC™ OUTSOLE
All-Trac is an all-new, formula-based proprietary rubber compound developed by Vans for MTE footwear. Its patent pending recipe delivers true all-weather grip, significantly aiding in overall traction and upgrading all MTE-2 and MTE-3 styles. This specialized allseason formula is further optimized with increased flexibility which allows lugs to bend with terrain changes, creating more surface area and better variable adaptability. From wet or dry city streets, to the unpredictability of the unpaved, All-Trac delivers a new level of adventure-based opportunity all year long.

MTE™-SNOW is specifically designed for harsh, cold weather. Unlike any other MTE™ products, these are entirely focused on snow and winter conditions.
WATERPROOF, SEAM-SEALED CONSTRUCTION & WATERPROOF, VULCANIZED RUBBER LOWER
Keeping snow and wet out is the fundamental objective of winter boots, followed closely by cool winter style, of course. A vulcanized rubber lower and waterproof, seam-sealed construction provide impenetrable leak guards on all Standard boots.
200-GRAM INSULATION PACKAGE
Shoveling the walkway, walking the dog, or running to the market—we all want warm feet on a cold day, and Vans Snow MTE boots deliver. The new Standard XF utilizes a modified snowboard boot liner construction and all its traditional insulation offerings. Our classic Standard boots feature a heavy-duty, removable felt liner, while the downsized Standard Mid gets the job done with a 100-gram weight insulation package.
STANDARD SNOW MTE OUTSOLE
Specially designed for cruising around in cold weather conditions, the Standard Snow MTE outsole offers next-level grip and traction. An aggressive reverse waffle lug pattern provides variable terrain and street performance, while the siped tire-like design increases overall traction. Add in multi-level dynamic surfacing and you’ve got Vans-approved performance.
