Vans MTE Crosspath XC Shoe
Pavement Is Optional.
The Vans Crosspath XC was built for people who don't always know where the day is headed—and prefer it that way. Equal parts everyday sneaker and light-duty trail weapon, this all-terrain shoe is designed to handle city streets, dirt trails, surprise weather, and spontaneous detours without missing a step.
The technical upper combines durable PET mesh, suede, and abrasion-resistant paneling to strike the perfect balance between breathability and toughness. A DWR coating helps shrug off light rain, puddles, and whatever mystery liquid is currently occupying the parking lot, while the speedlace system lets you dial in the fit without stopping your momentum.
Underfoot is where the Crosspath XC really earns its keep. Vans paired their UltraCush™ foam midsole with a Vibram® XS TREK EVO outsole, delivering serious comfort and confidence across concrete, gravel, dirt, and uneven terrain. The all-new tread pattern provides responsive grip and long-lasting durability, giving you traction when the trail gets sketchy and stability when the sidewalk suddenly ends.
Whether you're traveling, hiking, exploring, or simply refusing to own separate shoes for every activity, the Crosspath XC is built to keep up.

Why We Love It
This is the shoe for people who accidentally turn a quick coffee run into a three-mile hike. It looks normal enough for everyday wear but packs enough traction, comfort, and weather resistance to handle the unexpected. The Vibram sole is the star of the show, and the speedlace system makes getting out the door one less thing to think about.
