What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I wear these when I want classic Vans style but need real protection from the weather. The GORE-TEX lining is breathable yet totally waterproof, the insulation keeps my feet warm on cold days, and the All-Trac outsole grips icy sidewalks better than most winter boots. They feel like sneakers but perform like serious winter shoes."The Vans MTE Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX Insulated Shoe transforms a classic silhouette into an all-weather essential. Designed with Vans’ most advanced cold-weather technology, this shoe keeps us warm, dry, and steady no matter the season. From snowy commutes to weekend adventures, it’s built to perform without losing its timeless look.

Inside, a 200-gram Duratherm insulation package keeps warmth locked in, while the All-Trac outsole adapts to terrain for grip across icy streets and slick surfaces. With the addition of an UltraCush molded EVA footbed for all-day comfort, this winter-ready Sk8-Hi is built to move with us wherever cold weather takes us.
