Vans Sk8-Hi MTE vs Vans Sk8-Hi MTE-2

Although these sneakers look virtually the same, a style loved by many snowboarders and non-snowboarders, they differ mainly in a few details, such as:

• The upper of the MTE is treated with the Scotchguard while the MTE-2 is proofed with the HyrdoGuard 360, which provides better protection against moisture penetration.
• The MTE-2 has the PrimaLoft zonal that supplies better insulation to our hooves compared to the fleece, flannel, or textile lining of the  MTE.
• Compared to its ancestor that has the conventional vulcanized rubber, the MTE-2 has a sticky All-Trac rubber outsole for better grip and traction.
• To keep the feet dry and free from bacteria, Vans uses an Ortholite insole in the MTE-2, which is not found on its antecedent. 

Built for your day to day journey

This is a perfect shoe for various weather conditions. Unlike its parent model, the Vans Sk8-Hi, the MTE-2 will not let you down whether you need to stroll through the snowy streets or brave the light rain showers.

Comfort awaits the moment you slip your feet into this

Sneakerboot fans are floored by the amount of coziness they experienced with this model. They enjoyed the molded EVA footbed and the cushy Ortholite sockliner, making their urban and trail adventures comfy and bearable. 

Every inch is designed to deliver durability

Many users feel that this model will last longer than its predecessor. While the Sk8-Hi MTE uses only the regular vulcanized outsole, the updated MTE-2 has the innovative rubber All-Trac that offers significantly boosted robustness. Moreover, its upper is treated with a water-repellent chemical to make it tougher for whatever kind of climate.

It will keep the water away from your feet
