The Vans and are capable of delivering the sort of wilderness taming performance you’ll expect from high quality hiking footwear.

FIRM FOOTING

The Ultrarange EXO is a remarkably hardworking boot crafted by the folks that have been doing it the right way for over half a century so you know you’re in a safe pair of hands when it comes to Vans. Vans isn’t all about skateboards and punk rock as many, included us at The Coolector, may have thought. In the last decade or so, they expanded beyond their board sport roots to include a variety of everyday and outdoor-ready shoes that go toe-to-toe with brands that have been making lifestyle footwear for much longer.

Boasting an UltraRange EXO MTE-3 outsole with All-Trac™ all-weather rubber built in to give you top-notch traction just about anywhere, these top notch boots from Vans ($200) won’t let you down when push comes to shove on those backcountry hiking trails. The lightweight construction gets the job done without being bulky and the 3M Thinsulate™ insulation package keeps you warm but stays lightweight for those longer hikes.

From quality to comfort, Vans’ UltraRange collection goes above and beyond the call of duty from a performance perspective, allowing you to feel light on your feet and well-protected from the elements and underfoot terrains at all times. The EXO HI GORE-TEX MTE 3 can just as easily take you through a muddy riverbed or a snowy mountainside, and stay comfy the whole way. They have a triple-density UltraCush™ EVA midsole with molded heel and toe protection and a moulded asymmetrical TPU arch cradle for comfort and support.
