Is the Vans Crosspath XC GORE-TEX MTE actually waterproof?

Yes. It has a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, so rain and puddles stay out. It is water- and wind-proof, not insulated, so it is not a winter boot.

How does it fit compared to other Vans?

It is listed in medium width and unisex sizing, so most shoppers can take their usual Vans size. The padded, bulkier build may feel snug for wide feet.

Can I wear it in summer?

It is designed for spring, fall and winter. The waterproof membrane limits airflow, so it runs warm in hot weather.

What is the upper made of?

A mix of canvas, genuine suede, genuine leather and rubber, with a rubber outsole. The suede and canvas need cleaning to avoid stains.

Is it good for hiking?

No. It is a casual sneaker with cushioning and stability support. The grip helps on wet streets, but it lacks the ankle support and tread of a hiking boot.

It sits at the low end of its recent range across the four stores listing it new, and the GORE-TEX liner and lugged outsole are features most casual Vans lack. Waiting is unlikely to save much unless a seasonal clearance hits.
