FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they are water-resistant. They feature a splash guard designed to protect against light rain and puddles, but they should not be submerged.
What is the primary benefit of the All-Trac outsole?
The All-Trac outsole uses specialized braking and toe-picking lugs to provide enhanced stability and traction on uneven or loose ground.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
Yes, they feature a midsole with at least 30% biobased EVA foam and use recycled PET meshes and textiles in the upper construction.
Can I use these for heavy-duty hiking?
They are ideal for light hiking and outdoor paths, but they do not offer the stiff chassis or high-cut support found in heavy-duty mountaineering boots.
How should I clean the no-sew accents?
Use a soft cloth and mild soap to gently wipe away grime. Avoid scrubbing hard, as this can wear down the adhesive edges.
Troubleshooting
Loss of water-resistant effectiveness
Apply a spray-on water repellent treatment suitable for synthetic mesh and textiles to restore the protective layer.
Debris lodged in outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear dirt, small rocks, or mud from the tread patterns to maintain maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Crosspath MTE trainers, keep them away from harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the water-resistant coating. If they become dirty after an outdoor trek, brush off loose mud once dry and wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as high-heat drying and agitation can compromise the bonding of the no-sew accents and the integrity of the water-resistant membrane. If the shoes become soaked internally, air dry them naturally in a cool, shaded place, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
