The flagship model in the VANS MTE range, the SK8-HI GORE-TEX MTE-3 is a lace-up men's high-top shoe that takes the iconic Vans design and adds a hefty dose of protection.

Designed for winter weather, this model boasts state-of-the-art all-climate technology with a Gore-Tex membrane, durable leather and powerful 3M Thinsulate insulation for perfect temperature control in cold weather. The shoe also features MTE-3 construction, including the MTE-3 All-Trac all-climate rubber outsole, which significantly improves traction, in addition to an improved toe grip and dynamic notches. Comfort is ensured by the presence of a molded, double-layered OrthoLite insole.

In addition to the traditional woollen construction for a custom fit, this model adds a variety of pull tabs for easy donning.
