The MTE Hi-Standard Pro is designed to excel in everything from park laps to powder runs, equipped with a host of performance features. For optimal comfort and fit, it features the upgraded V2 UltraCush™ liner, infused with Smartwool® merino for exceptional heat retention, airflow, and moisture management.
To ensure impact protection without sacrificing board feel, the boot incorporates a dual-density PopCush™ footbed and an UltraCush™ midsole, complemented by a Waffle Pro outsole. This innovative trio takes some of Vans Skateboarding’s top technologies and expertly adapts them for the slopes, delivering a ride that’s as responsive as it is comfortable.
Take all this tech and combine it with stylistic tweaks that fit the ethos of both Urban and Perkins, and you’ve got yourself something truly unique. Urban’s white-and-black boots combine the aforementioned skate-adjacent tech with styling that’s decidedly skate-inspired thanks to the use of Vans’ retro V logo. On the other hand, Perkins opted to lean further into an MTE™ franchise look with a mixture of brown and white shades and a secure, comfortable liner specifically molded to fit the needs of women’s feet.
