The Old Skool is arguably the most recognisable trainer ever made — and the MTE Waterproof Insulated version is the one to reach for when the weather stops playing nice. Vans have taken that instantly familiar silhouette (sidestripe, low profile, gum-accented sole) and built it back up with proper all-weather credentials: a HydroGuard® 360º waterproof package that keeps rain and slush firmly on the outside, and 100 grams of Primaloft® pure insulation that handles the warmth without turning the upper into a puffy mess. The combination of leather, suede and 100% recycled PET textile uppers means you get that lived-in, knocks-about look from day one, while the All-Trac rubber outsole grips reliably across wet pavements, muddy footpaths and dew-soaked morning walks. UltraCush™ drop-in footbeds take the sting out of long days on your feet, and there's a genuinely impressive bit of planet-friendly thinking going on underneath: the outsole contains 30% regenerative rubber, sourced from farms working to improve soil health, boost biodiversity and sequester carbon. An icon rebuilt for proper British weather, basically. What more do you need?

Since 1966, Vans has been stitched into the fabric of youth culture. From the first sticky-soled deck shoes to checkerboards, slip-ons, and sidestripes, Vans has always stood for more than footwear. It’s a way of moving through the world — rebellious, laid-back, and never afraid to carve your own line. It’s life “Off the Wall”. And now, the MTE (Mountain Edition) range is the next chapter in that story, taking silhouettes etched into history — the Old Skool, the Sk8-Hi, the Slip-On — and reimagining them for life beyond the pavement. With waterproofing, insulation, and rugged traction, they’ve got the muscle for rain, mud, and mountain grit, yet at their core they’ll always be Vans: effortless style, California soul, and the freedom to follow the day, wherever it leads.
So whether you’re stomping through a wet British winter, hitting a muddy festival, or chasing sunsets on windswept trails, Vans MTE takes you Off The Wall and into the elements.
