VANS The Sk8-Hi MTE revamps the legendary Vans high top with additions designed for the elements. Premium weather-resistant suede uppers, warm linings, and a heat retention layer between sockliner and outsole keep feet warm and dry while the newly-constructed vulcanized lug outsole takes advantage of 20 years of snow boot history for maximum traction. The Sk8-Hi MTE also features heel pull tabs, re-enforced toecaps to withstand repeated wear, and padded collars for support and flexibility.
