Description You are Made For The Elements. These are your Vans. The Sk8-Hi is an all-time Vans classic, but the Toddler Sk8-Hi Zip MTE-1 is built for adventure with a water-resistant suede upper, a Primaloft insulation package, and an outsole designed for increased traction. Add in a back zipper for easy on-and-off access, and you’ve got a do-it-all shoe that encourages your little one’s sense of exploration. MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - A water-resistant upper provides a splash and puddle guard around the shoe and over the toe, resulting in reliable, comfortable, breathable moisture management protection. THERMOREGULATION - The zonal MTE™-1 Primaloft® insulation package uses a high-quality microfiber thermal insulation system to mimic the warmth-providing properties of down, keeping you warm without retaining internal moisture. TRACTION - MTE™-1’s lugged outsole is throw-stuff-at-me ready design that incorporates multi-directional treads, multi-level surfacing, and a siped tire-like design for increased traction in wet conditions. COMFORT AND SUPPORT - Our MTE™-1 comfort package uses a single-density UltraCush™ molded EVA footbed for upgraded comfort.
