Trail function, Vans attitude

Designed for movement beyond the city

For those who blur the line between adventure and style, the Vans MTE Crosspath XC offers a practical balance of protection, comfort and everyday wearability. It has the function you want from an outdoor-inspired sneaker, without becoming too technical or heavy for daily use.

Whether you are walking through Amsterdam in wet weather, heading out for a weekend trail or simply want something more capable than a regular sneaker, the Crosspath XC fits naturally into a modern outdoor wardrobe.

How to wear the Vans MTE Crosspath XC

The Crosspath XC works best as a functional everyday sneaker. Pair it with outdoor pants, relaxed denim, fleece, shell jackets or a simple overshirt. It has enough technical character to stand out, but still feels easy and wearable.

This is not a heavy hiking boot. It is a lightweight, versatile sneaker for people who want more grip, more protection and more utility from their daily footwear.
