Boots are a natural choice right now and Vans is throwing their hat into the game with their new series of Sk8-Hi MTE 2.

This shoe’s 25-year snowboard boot history is immediately evident in its design. A design exclusive all-weather rubber compound, the All-Trac™, matched with the MTE 2 outsole means you get the kind of durable traction made for every situation. Insulation and water-resistant elements take this boot even further so that you stay dry and comfortable as you trek these across any terrain.
While these outdoor-friendly upgrades are definitely the main feature they don’t take away from the instantly recognizable silhouette of the Sk8-Hi. The jazz strip and padded collar keep everything in that cool skate style the brand is known for.
Two different colorways in the men’s style and a women’s edition help bring this shoe to everyone just in time for the new season. An all-black edition with varying textures is an instant classic; keeping that edge Vans is so good at designing.
The Khaki and Black colorway uses lighter tones across its suede upper and adds in yellow laces to present a more grounded laid back vibe. The construction of the shoe really shines here and lets you take in every piece of tech that makes these boots a standout.
The women’s addition to this collection turns everything up a notch with its Pomegranate and Leopard colorway. Animal print, burgundy, bright blue, and other more muted tones all work together to give something truly unique.
