Scene Setting

Fog bleeds off the pavement. You step into the Vans MTE Crosspath XC GORE-TEX, and the street’s chill feels like it’s negotiating. Humidity, cold, grit, all held at bay by the tread beneath you.

Product Description

The MTE Crosspath XC GORE-TEX isn’t just a sneaker; it’s a pathfinder built for when the weather decides to run late. Layered construction meets functional design: a waterproof GORE-TEX liner keeps your foot dry, while the upper mixes suede, mesh, and technical textile for structure, airflow, and durability. The lugged rubber outsole grips slick surfaces, and a cushioned insole cushions shock without dulling boardfeel. It’s the kind of shoe that says: “Yes, I will walk 8 km through drizzle.”
