Vans MTE is the byproduct of a lifetime spent outdoors, because we know that the pursuit of your passions isn't 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. It's why we created MTE in the first place. Delivering on a new promise of an all-weather shoe, the UltraRange EXO Hi MTE-1 blends the comfort and get-you-there features of the UltraRange family with the protection from the elements that only the MTE franchise can provide. This new design combines the UltraRange's signature comfort UltraCush foam cushioning mid-sole with traction from MTE's reverse lug outsole, built using Vans' classic all-condition rubber. It also features enhanced thermoregulation properties, the new HydroGuard Wrap, a breathable Old Skool-inspired high top upper, and a revamped rubber toe and forefoot shape to provide an optimal fit without sacrificing Vans design DNA. The UltraRange EXO Hi MTE-1 is made with leather, textile, and synthetic uppers. Whether you find yourself bagging snowcapped peaks or braving a rain-soaked commute, you can set off with confidence knowing that every stitch of your equipment is intentionally placed to provide ultimate versatility. After all, we know it was never about the destination. It's about the stories you create along your journey.
