Full details
The Vans Crosspath Mid MTE trainers are designed for adults seeking versatile footwear for urban and outdoor adventures, offering a blend of style and functionality. Their key benefit is enhanced traction and comfort in various terrains due to innovative outsole and midsole technology.

A significant portion of this product is constructed from recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.

Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Reapply a non-PFC water-repellent spray suitable for footwear. Ensure the shoe is clean before application.
Traction feels less effective on certain surfaces
Ensure the All-Trac outsole is clean, as mud or debris can impact grip. The compound may also require a short break-in period.
Discomfort during initial wear

Material wear and tear
Inspect regularly for damage. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could degrade the materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
