Vans Unisex Adults' Sk8-hi MTE Trainers

So much better made than my non-MTE Hi tops from the same manufacturer. Feel more sturdy and way more comfortable. The lining keeps your feet warm in the winter while not being too hot to wear as the sun begins to appear in the springtime, and they just laugh in the face of puddles and rainfall. I have only stopped wearing them now that summer is in full swing after wearing them every day for 5-6 months. They are still in great condition and ready for the autumn. One word of warning - don't tug on the loops at the back of the shoe whilst putting them on - one of mine ripped right off in my hand with minimal force. Disappointing, but entirely my own stupid fault.

MTE hi-tops are my Vans preference, on my third pair, never disappoint, fit as they should, comfy for prolonged periods of wearing.If you are not familiar with the MTE range, let me set expectations, dont be fooled into thinking they are extremely rugged, mega durable or a suitable alternative to proper 'outdoor footwear', as they are not! They are however a comfier alternative to Vans classics that offer a better level of warmth with some level of water repellence.

I really enjoyed my vans 36 € with freight was the best investment I made, I am very happy and I will use to longboard skateboarding.

First let me say I've worn regular size 10 UK footwear for well over 30 years. Secondly I've owned many pairs of Vans size 10 UK over the last 20+ years. That said these pinched my toes, and were tatty looking with the eyelet panel being dogeared on one side.

Had these for under a month and the foxing on one shoe started splitting and wasn't long before the other shoe followed suit. Spoke with a couple of colleagues about this and they said that the same thing happened with their Vans trainers. These do look the part but I find with Vans that they aren't very durable. Will stick to DC's as they seem to last me a few years of usage compared to the Vans.

Superbly comfortable and warmer than standard vans in Winter. I've seen some reviews complaining the MTEs aren't waterproof. I think the point is if you want to go hiking, buy hiking boots, not fashion trainers/sneakers/boots.My second pair of similar bought at a bargain £42

Bought as a present for my daughter who loved the first pair so much, that I bought her a second pair. She says that they're super comfortable and warm and she hopes to get a lot of wear out of them.

Great value very comfy. Fit as expected. Only downside I found is the tags on the back designed to help slip the shoes on broke off/freyed after a few uses so I've had to cut them off.
