Vans' SK8 Hi GORE-TEX sneaker makes surviving winter look good.
After all, it is one of Vans' MTE models, which means it's "made for the elements." So it naturally comes equipped with the right cold-season gear, including waterproof tech, snow-ready All-Trac outsoles, and insulation to keep your toes warm.
On top of all that, the SK8 winter boot has plenty of style. It features canvas and suede uppers, which makes it both durable and stylish. Then, Vans comes in with nice colorways like "Autumn Brown," which makes the model look even better.
Sounds about right for a modern-day MTE model . The line's Standard boots and Crosspath trail sneakers are also lookers, so no surprises there.
Vans' SK8-Hi GORE-TEX Insulated MTE Sneakers have been out for a while now. But the skateboarding brand keeps quietly improving the model with small tweaks and nice color schemes.
Now, we have these slick "Autumn Brown" SK8 Hi boots, available on Slam Jam's website for $188.

By the way, Morgan interviewed the bad gal, too.
