These trainers offer a significant comfort upgrade with a roomier fit and an expanded toe box, providing stability and grip in various environments.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are water-repellent, meaning they are designed to shed light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.

Can I wear these for hiking?

Yes, they are designed for light trails and mixed-terrain use, though they are not a replacement for stiff, high-cut mountaineering boots.

Are they true to size?

They fit slightly roomier than traditional Vans shoes due to the expanded toe box. Most users find their standard size comfortable.

Are these suitable for winter?

They are non-insulated, so they are better suited for temperate seasons or high-activity use rather than severe, freezing winter conditions.

How do I maintain the regenerative rubber?

Clean it with warm water and a brush. The rubber is durable and does not require special chemicals; simply keep it free of grit to maintain grip.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

Apply a fresh coat of aftermarket DWR spray to the upper fabric to restore the barrier against moisture.

Outsole collecting too much debris

Use a stiff brush to clear out the tread channels after muddy walks to ensure maximum grip.

Shoe feels too loose

Adjust the lace tension or add a thin performance insole to take up any excess volume in the toe box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design transitions well between urban and outdoor settings
  • Enhanced comfort thanks to the wider toe box design
  • Eco-conscious outsole construction using regenerative rubber
  • Excellent traction on mixed terrains
  • Durable water-repellent finish

Cons

  • Non-insulated design may not be warm enough for freezing temperatures
  • Low-top profile provides less ankle support than MTE Mid versions
  • Lighter colourways may show dirt more easily in trail conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Crosspath trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off mud or debris after outdoor use with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains; avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent treatment.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the rubber or adhesive.
  3. Treatment: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic footwear to maintain water-repellency.
  4. Fit: These trainers feature a roomier fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying your standard size first, as the expanded toe box provides additional internal volume compared to classic Vans silhouettes.
