The Sk8-Hi has been a cultural fixture since the late seventies, but the MTE Waterproof Insulated version is the one you want when the forecast turns nasty. HydroGuard® 360º waterproofing wraps the whole boot in a barrier against rain, puddles and slush, while 100 grams of Primaloft® pure insulation lines the inside with the kind of quiet, reliable warmth that doesn't announce itself — you just notice that your feet aren't freezing anymore. The upper is a mix of leather, suede and 100% recycled textile, so you're getting durability without a guilty conscience, and the All-Trac rubber outsole is built to grip across the full British weather menu: wet paving, grassy verges, muddy trails, the lot. UltraCush™ drop-in footbeds mean you can comfortably wear them for a full day of pottering, commuting and pub garden loitering. Crucially, the sole contains 30% regenerative rubber — sourced from farms working to improve soil and lock in carbon — so there's a sustainability story underneath the style. All-weather trainers don't have to mean bulky, beige or boring. These prove it.

Since 1966, Vans has been stitched into the fabric of youth culture. From the first sticky-soled deck shoes to checkerboards, slip-ons, and sidestripes, Vans has always stood for more than footwear. It’s a way of moving through the world — rebellious, laid-back, and never afraid to carve your own line. It’s life “Off the Wall”. And now, the MTE (Mountain Edition) range is the next chapter in that story, taking silhouettes etched into history — the Old Skool, the Sk8-Hi, the Slip-On — and reimagining them for life beyond the pavement. With waterproofing, insulation, and rugged traction, they’ve got the muscle for rain, mud, and mountain grit, yet at their core they’ll always be Vans: effortless style, California soul, and the freedom to follow the day, wherever it leads.
So whether you’re stomping through a wet British winter, hitting a muddy festival, or chasing sunsets on windswept trails, Vans MTE takes you Off The Wall and into the elements.
