"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I like the Crosspath because it feels like a lifestyle sneaker but handles way more. The DWR-treated upper sheds light rain, the UltraCush midsole is super comfortable for long days, and the treaded outsole actually grips on dirt trails. It’s my go-to when I want something casual that can still tackle unexpected terrain."" The Crosspath Shoe is our pick when adventure could take us anywhere—from busy city blocks to quick detours into the woods. Vans built it with the same spirit as their UltraRange line, blending lightweight comfort with real capability. The DWR-coated upper keeps light moisture at bay, making it an easy companion for unpredictable weather and spontaneous outings. Underfoot, the UltraCush midsole delivers plush, long-lasting cushioning that keeps our feet happy through long days of exploring. The treaded outsole provides solid traction in wet or uneven terrain, giving us confidence whether we’re navigating slick sidewalks or dirt paths. Thoughtful materials, including components made from regenerative, renewable, or recycled sources, give the Crosspath a modern edge—while the signature Sidestripe keeps the Vans DNA unmistakably intact."
