Our take on the Vans Sk8-Hi MTE

The Vans Sk8-Hi MTE is a weatherized version of the classic Sk8-Hi high-top, built for cold and wet fall and winter days. It adds a treated upper, a warm lining and an aggressive rubber outsole with deeper tread than the standard Sk8-Hi. It comes in canvas, suede and leather builds, in narrow and medium widths. The best new price is $144.99 at Journeys as of November 5, 2026, with three stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Sk8-Hi MTE worth it over the regular Sk8-Hi?
Yes if you wear it in cold or wet weather. The MTE adds a treated upper, warm lining and a grippier outsole; the standard Sk8-Hi is lighter and cheaper but not weather-ready.
Is the Sk8-Hi MTE waterproof?
No. It is water-repellent and handles rain, slush and light snow, but water can get in through the laces and seams in heavy rain or deep puddles.
How does the Sk8-Hi MTE fit?
It runs true to size for most people, but the padded collar and warm lining make it feel snug. It comes in narrow and medium widths, so wide feet may want to size up.
When is the Sk8-Hi MTE cheapest?
Prices drop most in late winter and early spring clearance, and around Black Friday. The best new price was $144.99 at Journeys as of November 5, 2026.
Can I wear the Sk8-Hi MTE in summer?
It works, but the warm lining and heavier build get hot. It is designed for fall and winter.

At Journeys, for $144.99, as of our latest check.
