Customer Reviews Vans MTE Crosspath

I was super excited for the and looking forward to using them. But they are just too tight. Tried my normal size and a size up and still it is just way too tight.

So I have slightly wider than normal feet. I'm also flat footed. Even being flat footed the top of my feet hurt like the laces are extra tight although they're loose to a point that I could take them out and it wouldn't be any different. It's like the height of the shoe on the inside above and just behind where the ball of the foot is located is shorter than your normal shoe causing pain. The "toe box" is also extra narrow, so the small toe on the end of both feet gets crammed into the other toes causing pain. At the end of the day, the shoes look great but the design of these shoes definitely need attention for them to dialed in. If you have average to wider feet think twice about buying this model.

The shoe looks good, it seemed promising when I saw them on the website but then when I received them they felt extremely tight. I am usually a 12 and these felt like I was trying an 11 almost 10 1/2. The other problem is that the shoes are not in stock anywhere so I ended up returning them.

After running the MTE UltraRange Neo VR3's all summer, I really wanted to love these new Crosspath shoes. But wow, they are very narrow and tight. I loosened up the laces quite a bit but the shoes were just too tight/uncomfortable to even wear. My suggestion: Take the sole of the Crosspath's and put them on the upper of the MTE UltraRange Neo VR3 Shoe.

The shoes run really small and really narrow. Even a half size up still leaves your feet pinched. The only thing worse than the fit was the miserable girl at the store that insisted that "they'll break in." Same condescending brat was busy alienating quite a few other loyal Van's customers the day I stopped in. Guess she didn't get the memo about Vans shoes being the choice of cool and carefree people.

I love the MTE and EXO series I own five pairs. But fit, is all over the place. 10.5 fits bigger than my other 10.5 where the high tops 10.5 fit smaller, get it together guys. Super frustrating, kind of makes me want ot never buy vans again.

I wouldn't really recommend the Crosspath vans. I like other Vans stuff, but if you have slightly wider pads for feet, the toe box might feel too tight and not flexible enough. Even if you adjust the laces, the heel still feels too loose. It's a good idea, but the design might not work for everyone's feet.

Totally disappointed. The most comfortable Vans I have had in 30 years broke ALONE after a few months of normal use both tearing in the same areas. I have more than 15 pairs of Vans currently in use and I have hundred for more than 30 years using the brand and it is the first time something like this has happened to me. Throw away my money

I was really looking forward to these because none of the reviews mentioned anything about them running small I wear a size 9.5 in women's and my friend that wears a 7.5 could almost fit because of how narrow they are. Very disappointed. Should definitely consider making these shoes wider and less compressed .

I've only used these shoes a couple of times and the material on the top that is above the tow box has already torn. A shoe should last more than 3 to 4 uses.

I really wanted to love these Crosspath shoes because they look absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, they feel quite tight on my feet. I'm a size 7.5, and the fit seems small the top junctions press down and become uncomfortable, even after wearing them a few times hoping they would loosen up a bit. I'm sad they didn't work out for me comfort-wise, but the design is beautiful. #sweepstakes for a chance to win $1,000.

This is my first time buying an athletic shoe and my last from vans.com. I have always worn skateboard and bmx shoes since 1983, however this is my last pair of vans ever. Bought 10.5 marmalade Crosspath from vans.com and wore them 3 times and the right shoe thin material started tearing where the rubber cap is glued to the material. Purchased and received at beginning of Sept reported after 3rd wear Nov 3rd, 2025. Customer service drug it out a week only to offer 20% off next purchase. Then deny the claim stating wear and tear. Shoes are brand new no stains with 2 clear areas tearing from the glued seam. Wear and tear shouldn't be less than 2 months and 3rd time they are worn. The material used is thin and none of my normal waffle sole shoes have ever had this issue. They last well over a year before the soles wear out and come a part as everyone has seen. Be warned customer service sucks and vans.com will not stand by their products.

I use them for work. I'm a housekeeper. They're good for walking and stuff but the quality is kinda bad. The sole came unglued already which makes me suspect that it came unglued. Incredibly frustrating

Im a life long huge Vans supporter but man these were awful. I bought these for some light hiking and street walking while visiting Europe. I had to buy new shoes while I was there because they hurt my feet so much.

really made my outter metatarsals hurt

These Vans don't fit rightthe toe box hurts. Tried 2 pairs in my size, these and Neos both the same issue. Can't return, super disappointed.

Strike three. Vans, you had one job and you failed miserably. I'm donating these to a needy person with extremely narrow feet and am moving on after wearing Vans for over four decades. Seriously, how hard is it to consistently size your shoes, especially in today's world of almost exclusively online shopping? If these are any indication of the direction quality control is taking at Vans then I should've learned my lesson at strike two, because now you're out.

Shoe is very narrow and hurt my feet after 30 minutes of use. These provide little cushion for trails and should be avoided as they are uncomfortable.

Also made a clicking sound

After 3 days there's an air pocket in the outter sole of the right shoe, and it pops when walking. I'm going to contact Customer Service and see what can be done.

I should have learned my lesson with the last pair i had to return , they ran so small. but this time. this time i ordered a size 12. I wear a 10.5 wide or 11 to ensure enough room . I figured a 12 should definitely work. Nope. Theyre like trying to put on a size 10 . Again , let down with my purchase. Wearing vans since 1989. Any of these new offerings sizes are so out of whack .
