Customer Reviews Vans Standard MTE Snow Boot

Fit: About a half size small. I'm a 10.5 in Vans Sk8 Hi (MTE), and an 11 in these fits very similarly. (Specifically the Taxwood style, if that matters.) I'm an 11 in some other Vans styles as well, usually due to width, but I need the 11 in these for length, so they're definitely slightly shorter. I have Vans Hi Standard Linerless snowboard boots in size 11 as well, but these are slightly shorter than those as well. It's also a higher volume fit than other Vans styles, including snowboard boots. I need to cinch up the laces to keep my foot from wandering around inside, but I guess if you're into thick winter socks that's probably a good thing. I wear thin wool socks, and my heel definitely moves around in these. Comfort: The lower is fully rubberized, so they're not as flexible as normal Vans shoes, obviously. But the rubber is pretty thin and soft, so they're probably the most flexible snow boots I've ever owned. The uppers are super floppy, so don't get these expecting to use them for snowboarding or anything like that. The laces and tongue put a little pressure on the top of my foot if I tighten them up, but I would guess the tongue will "learn" to lie flat there as they break in. Function: Fine? The materials are waterproof and the tongue is gusseted to keep out water. My feet stay pretty warm anyway, but these are pretty slim for winter boots, so I don't think you can expect them to do as well as a really serious boot. For a boot slim enough to drive in, they're warm enough. I can snowskate in these, but there's less board feel than a Sk8 Hi MTE. They're not replacing my heavy winter boots for super cold days, but they're good for shoveling snow and goofing around outside. Overall: If a Sorel snow boot and a pair of Vans Sk8 His had weird boot babies, this is what you'd get. Comfortable, flexible (for a snow boot), light weight, and look great. Good for casual winter usage, but probably not going to cut it for serious winter hiking or sitting around outside in crazy cold weather.

I bought these for fat biking and they absolutely kill it! They are warm and super comfy. A little snug out of the box but they packed out just right after a few rides. No heel rub or hot spots, they fit perfectly. They're a little bulky but not quite as big as Sorel pack boots. Wide surface area for great sole to pedal contact. The Vans outsole provides an amazingly sticky grip. You can really crank when you have to and your foot feels secure. I use them with Race Face Chester pedals. Great purchase A++

Sweet snow boots with the vans skater style! Note - these boots run small. I’m a size 10 all day long but needed to upsize to a 10.5.

Very wide and very short so unless your foot is a perfect square, your toes will probably hit the front. Sizing up to accommodate the short toe box leaves them so loose and roomy that your feet slide around. They were cute (more substantial than I realized) but I didn't get to try them in the snow because I couldn't find a pair that fit properly

Have to exchange. I have many pairs of Vans sneakers and the boots do not fit the same. Need to go up half a size.

So comfy!! Got them to work in aspen this winter and am excited to see how they do.
