FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant upper designed to guard against splashes, puddles, and light rain. They are not intended for submersion or heavy, prolonged rainfall.
What is the MTE collection?
MTE stands for Mountain Edition. It is a series by Vans specifically engineered to handle the elements, providing extra grip, warmth, and protection for outdoor conditions.
Can I use these for running?
While they are lightweight and cushioned, they are designed primarily for outdoor walking and trail exploration. They lack the specific stability features required for long-distance running.
What does biobased EVA mean?
It means the cushioning foam in the midsole is partially derived from plant-based sources, reducing the reliance on petroleum-based materials.
How should I clean the recycled mesh?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust. For stains, spot clean with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction in mud
Check the outsole lugs for trapped debris; use a stiff brush to clear the spaces between the lugs to restore grip.
Water resistance feels diminished
Ensure the shoe is clean; if debris builds up on the surface, it can impede the water-repellent performance. You may apply a textile-safe water-repellent spray.
Midsole feels compressed
The biobased EVA is designed to be resilient, but foam can settle over time. Consider adding an aftermarket insole if you require more arch support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on loose terrain due to All-Trac technology
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue on long walks
- Environmentally conscious design with biobased materials
- Effective water resistance for protection against light wet conditions
Cons
- Not intended for technical mountaineering or heavy-duty hiking
- Brown colorway may require frequent cleaning if used in deep mud
- Designed primarily for outdoor trail use rather than gym training
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Crosspath trainers last through many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they offer immediate comfort, wear them on shorter walks for the first few days to allow the biobased EVA midsole to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after each outdoor excursion. If the uppers get muddy, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the water-resistant coating and the adhesive bonds of the no-sew accents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can warp the EVA foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material fading.
