Customer Reviews Vans MTE Crosspath

For those of you who say these are better than hokas or anything else are crazy wrong. Ive worked at the north face for the past 3 years and TNF have supportive hiking shoes that actually absorbed the debris in your pathway. I live in Breckenridge, co and hike regularly. These shoes are no bueno. Iykyk. I've had several pairs of vans shoes over the last ten years. Always did size 13. These just came in and as soon as I put them on I can feel the toe box is smaller, the sides where the shoe is to support your arch is two narrow. It feels like there is too much awkward arch support. And i usually welcome the arch support. These shoes do not allow you to take the insole out. So that's a bummer. I guess I can rip them off and try to insert some other insoles. These shoes are stiff and do not absorb. These are too supportive.

Good bottom cushion and overall support, BUT, front of shoe and toe box are very tight. Loosening up, but it's gonna take a while. Def not an "open the box and wear shoe", esp. for exercise walking. Two weeks around the house and still not ready for the roadeven with very thin or no socks.

A little stiff in the heel & feels tighter than other Vans. Maybe it just needs to be broken in more?

Looked cute online. A bit tight and narrow, my foot is not wide. A bit disappointing, as they don't fit like regular Vans.

I've tried these shoes on twice on my house and end up taking them off because they are uncomfortable. Pinch in the toes and no support. Tried a thin supportive insole and I feel like I'd twist an ankle wearing them with one in.

I really wanted to keep these, try my orthotics in them but the insole was glued to the shoe so I returned them.

I got these shoes for work and found out they are not nonskid, and are in fact slick on the wok flood especially when wet. But that would make an ok hiking shoe. Thanks.

These shoes are incredibly narrow and small, they do not fit like your typical skate vans. I'd recommend going a full size up. Support is better than the neos!

I've worn vans for 15+ years and never had a 13 not fit me. This is the first style where 13 doesn't fit and there's no bigger size!

Really love how the shoe looks, plus the cushion & stability in the insole but after two months the toe box is still really painful, narrow, and tight. Grip is good outdoors but can be slippery when wet on slick surfaces. I am a W9 in the ultra range vr3's, and ordered W9 for these crosspaths. Was really excited about these shoes when I ordered them, now really sad that I can't wear them at all

I really wanted to try these for disc golf. Love the style and they feel tough enough to keep up. The fit however was too narrow. I sized up and still didn't fit right.

Comfortable for the most part but lacking in a few aspects. Coming from several pairs of neo vr3, the heel tab is a bit small for my sausage fingers. Perhaps i'll love them in the long run, but for now.. they're just an ok change from the neo vr3.

I was super excited to buy these for a 3 week trip that involved a lot of walking. Initially I was stoked, as these are easily the most comfortable Vans I've ever had. But 2 weeks into my trip a small tear appeared around the base of the toes, and each day that I wore them, the tear spread more. I had to fix it with superglue, and now one of my shoes has this ugly glop on it. For those considering buying these, be advised that the material selection for these shoes might not hold up like you would expect.

Am generally a Vans lover but these shoes I started having issues with a popping sound that happened at the inner toe bend. After about a month, the noise got worse after I thought wearing them in would help. Attached photo is me pointing where the popping was happening, you can basically see the bend points. Wrote a review complaining how I was past the return window, Vans messaged me and gave me a reimbursed via gift card(thanks), but now I see my review disappeared? I ordered the marshmallow white, but I think they are discontinued now.

On the original Ultrarange, one of the most common negative reviews was the tightness and resulting discomfort in the height of the toe box. It wasn't terribly narrow, but it was too short from insole to the top of the inside of the shoe. It hurt like crazy after a few hours of wearing the shoe. This MTE Crosspath has the same issue. It's as if the laces have been tied WAY too tightly across the very bottom of the shoe even with the laces completely removed from the shoe. PLEASE FIX THIS!! They're beautiful, but very non-functional as presented. Also, and probably an unpopular opinion, get rid of the "waterproofing". It's an ankle shoe. Also, a shoe that dries quickly is better than a shoe holds water inside.

The shoes look amazing, I bought my normal size and a half size up and it doesn't matter they are too narrow. I never buy wides usually medium if good but with all the rubber to make it waterproof it just too tight and I can't bare it long it enough to hope they loosen over time. Please make these is Wides.

I am usually 8-8.5 so I ordered an 8.5. The toe box is too narrow and the layer under the laces cuts into the top of my foot. I loosened the laces but it was still too tight. So if you're trying these, size up. I poured water on them and they're very water resistant. Nothing penetrated the shoe. I was hoping to use these for nursing. The material is very durable feeling and seems like it can protect you from sharps. The tread is thick and will last a long time!

I really wanted to love these issues because they were perfect for what I needed with the water resistance and the athletic and durable tread. Unfortunately, I found them to be very tight in the 4 foot toebox causing pain whenever I wore them.

These are fine as a casual shoe to wear to lunch or something. All day wear or anything physical they are pretty uncomfortable and super narrow. Even with a decent insole added you can stand or walk in them very long. Was dispapointed.

They don't last. After 2 months the tread is almost completely worn down. For the price, this is unacceptable. The design and comfort are great.

I got my usual size and they were extremely tight! I'm gifting to my mom, will report back if she likes them!

Bought two pairs or these 5 mos ago for work. I wear them 5 days a week between the office and the field. They have already ripped in multiple places and the uppers are pulling away from the soles
