These Vans Are Built for Rain and Everyday Wear

The legendary Vans Sk8-Hi gets a rugged winter-ready upgrade with the Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX, built to handle whatever the elements throw your way. This insulated version of the classic high-top silhouette pairs timeless style with serious performance, making it a must-have for cold and wet conditions.

Crafted with a mix of leather, suede, and recycled textiles, the shoe features a PFAS-free GORE-TEX waterproof package that keeps your feet dry without sacrificing breathability. Inside, 200g Duratherm insulation ensures reliable warmth when the temperature s, while the Ultracush footbed delivers all-day comfort and support.

On the outside, the All-Trac outsole provides confident grip across multiple surfaces. Designed with a new rubber compound made from 30% recycled and regenerative rubber, it’s tough on terrain but lighter on the planet. As part of Vans’ MTE (Made for the Elements) collection, the Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX was built to handle water, regulate temperature, and keep you moving with traction you can count on.

Whether you’re navigating icy sidewalks or hitting the trails, the Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX blends Vans’ skate heritage with modern outdoor functionality. It’s the ultimate cold-weather sneaker, stylish, durable, and ready for winter adventures.
