Good winter shoes? Vans sk8 hi MTE gore-tex - black - size guide + on feet

[@TheMFStudios]

these look bad ASS! I seriously love vans and love that they are making running shoes and work boots because they are the only shoe company that understands that I have flat feet with a SLIGHT arch. Adidas hurt me SO bad even though I love the style of them.

[@ThiCityProductions]

I can agree with you. Under Armour shoes have really changed the game for me. Also I found a pair of Asics and wow.. I tried these on and did not expect a pair of vans to feel so good.

[@kalzangbhutia7248]

Those pairs are perfect for Bike rides🙌✅

[@nemisiintrip]

Thank you for speaking about the size, really usefull!

[@chuck3354]

I've just picked up a brown, non-gore-tex pair from TK Maxx £39, 14/12/23. Should have been Christmas shopping but the first thing I bought was for myself.😅 I wouldn't use them for hiking or walking, I'll stick to Hoka and Terrex. They're a great looking, comfortable, casual boot not a serious trail shoe. They look great with jeans and turn-ups. The review is correct, they do run large. I'm a solid UK 9.5, in Adidas I'm usually a UK 10. I would have been fine with a UK 9 in these. I've slipped an thin inner sole inside and they're now more comfortable and a definite better fit.

[@HardwareAddiction]

These are dope, I've got the MTE 2 in blue/black, which looks really nice. Made a mistake and took 'em half a size smaller though. I don't understand why Vans doesn't stitch the top of the sole, it's always bound to unglue at the pinch point.

[@WoodsyWears]

You just got my partner the MTE 2 ultra EXO for her dog walks may review them as I keep hearing great things about the MTE 2 range as this pair I reviewed here wasn’t for me. Thanks for watching and the comment 🙌

[@AshIsAverage]

Mine are starting to unglue as well. Do you find that once it unglues water tends to seep in?

[@kevin.itruth6880]

Tried these at the store and talked to the staff about them. I had to go half a size up also. Staff said they hate the laces. The laces are very short, you barley have enough to tie the laces if you loop them at the top metal rung and also the staff told me they couldn't keep the laces tied even if they tripled knotted them because of the lace material.

[@evanbonnamour695]

Comfiest shoes Ive worn other than indoor Kobe 9s

[@kingkai9818]

I really think these where designed to be a winter MTB shoe. Not skate shoe. There really no options what's so ever for gtx winter flat pedal shoes. It's very difficult to find. I think this is vans nice little niche. It not designed for high impact but it works hella fine sitting on pedals

[@derekdauzat]

composite toe version of them would be awesome!!!!!!!!

[@rkt4984]

Nice move for Vans!

[@WoodsyWears]

They smashing it tbf

[@siniganggang96]

These look so sick. I want a pair

[@scottkelliott]

Hey just wondering what work you were thinking about using these for. These are a boot made as a comfy shoe to wear in ski slopes in snow resorts aren't they? Water/snow proof but more comfy than wear ski / snowboard boots. Just curious?

[@tito_tito_gorgorito]

I have these Vans mte 3 gore-tex shoes and they are pretty bad for snowy weather. Absolutely (really) no traction on icy surfaces, they are super slipery. Also quite cold as soon as you step in snow. I bought them for walks on snowy days and I am totally disappointed :(

[@luisgabin4092]

Would you consider these for wearing year-round or mostly during winter and in the snow? I work on an ambulance and I need something that's comfortable, water proof and can wear year round if possible

[@WoodsyWears]

I think these maybe hit in the winter, I would advise a pair of goretex Hokas they are comfortable and great all year round ✌️

[@Shaddy_tv]

Haha I also am comparing these with hoka, perfect video 🤙

[@WoodsyWears]

Thank you 🙏

[@mrantone916]

They should make same model only for moto riding reinforced ankles , d30 and made of cordura .

[@Superman-23]

Are they slippery on flat surfaces?...like crossing the street on a rainy day??

[@hefanstill]

I’ve had the regular skate hi’s before and this is exactly how i felt too, kept tripping over the front of my foot, too long!

[@WoodsyWears]

Thank you! Thought was going crazy tbf glad someone else gets it 🙌

[@TimFromWales]

These are the next winter boots I’ll be buying. I have had MYE1 and just got a great deal on MTE2 from Zalando too. You clearly try a lot of sneakers and boots and know what you like, but even at that 9.5 they didn’t look too big on your feet. My MTE1 have had a battering for over 2 years and I wouldn’t hesitate in getting these Gortex models when I need to renew my walking boots as I suspect they will do a great job.

[@nidhalalibasheer7570]

Are these effective in Canadian winter weather? Please do reply cos it'll be of great help.

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Sure thing bud

[@pleasethankyou3869]

AJ9 Olives winterized is the goto for trekking but these look decent.

[@WoodsyWears]

Them 9s seem like they would hold up well , Yeh I like these vans but it was just the long toe box …. Trip city

[@Аналитик-м8щ]

At what temperature of cold can these shoes be worn?

[@tvoelichicko4162]

Казалось, что они будут комфортны и в -25, но на деле, их предел это -15 в течение 30 минут хоть бы начинают замерзать

[@Аналитик-м8щ]

@@tvoelichicko4162 Да, я уже купил их. Действительно, не такие уж и тёплые они. На улице -10, но уже ощущается холод в верхней части… Но у нас большая влажность, может поэтому. Может быть в другом регионе где мороз сухой, и в -20 -30 будет тепло, по крайней мере на это надеюсь.

Interested in an update on how they’re holding up

I didn’t get on with the toe box so sent them back to use the hoka Kaha boot instead

Doing a review of a shoe you haven’t actually worn is kinda funny 😂

[@IlLAD3LPH1A215]

How does the toe box differ from traditional Sk8 hi’s ?

[@richl9623]

There the same, very comfortable. On the heavy side but I like them a lot. They run true to size.

[@Estavejacob]

It feels like a normal shoe. Honestly not heavy at all I’d have to disagree with that ^

[@richl9623]

@@Estavejacob These MTE 3's are way heavier then the regular SK8's. They are considered a weather boot. From the regular Sk8's to the MTE 1-2-3's the weight goes up each accordingly. I've got over 20 Sk8's, 7 pairs of MTE 2's and 6 MTE 3's. Trust me the regular SK8's are thinner. Keeping it real y'all! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻💯

[@WoodsyWears]

I appreciate the updates, always good for people seeking info on the shoe 🙏

[@oceansyes]

Seems like from your review these are ideal but you got the wrong size and are basing the review on what you think they would be like in another size. I tried in my usual size and they were roomy but didn't feel like clown shoes at all.

[@FratddArtworks]

I tried these today on shopping center but I felt that front upper rubber part hurt (like a prick feeling)top of my feet while walking, I tought shoes are fresh thats why , can you give me advise, that rubber part becoming soften timely or stays rigid ?

[@WoodsyWears]

I never kept them because I didn’t get on with that toe box :s

[@DropDeadINK]

I’m also a 9. Tried the 9.5 it’s like 3 sizes to big. Got the 9 fits like a glove. Makes no sense lol

[@atheroswiki]

How is the snow performance

[@WoodsyWears]

No idea as I didn’t keep this pair

[@danielecalabro3201]

2 or 3? What do you recommend?

[@gabanlange9793]

true to size or need to go up half a size due to the extra paddings/weatherproof linings?

[@WoodsyWears]

So it’s not mad padded out but still has good padding I would say true to size … but! The toe box is mad long for some reason, trip hazard if you ask me 🫢

[@richl9623]

Definitely true to size. I've got 5 pair of these Vans. Depending on what color way you buy you might have the illusion that they look long especially in the dark black.

[@sk8n854]

I went a half size down on them because of how much toe space there is. The padding will adapt to your foot but that extra long toe space and front of the shoe isn't going anywhere.

[@MehmetDeniz61]

Is the front of the shoe insulated too?

[@smartiboo]

They look HUGE!

Are these good for Composite work boots??
