Vans  Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX Insulated Shoes - Men's

At first I thought these were great but after wearing them for a few months the support completely collapsed. Not to mention the waterproofing/ gortex is questionable as it was fine in light rain but walking in puddles and snow my feet got wet and drying these boots after saturation is an issue. I have also experienced the same issues with the lace hooks as mentioned in other comments.

Poor finishing, rubber coating deterioration, Abrasion, scratches

I went to buy new work boots because my Crestline MTE were finally worn out after 2 years of hard work in the paint shop. Unfortunately, the crestlines were not being sold anymore, so I got these. Highly disappointed. SUPER uncomfortable, not as durable, and actually pretty ugly when laced up tight. Its only been a month, and the stitching is looking like its not going to hold up for long, and these were more expensive than the Crestline. The Crestline was the most comfortable and durable work boot I've ever had. And these are a disappointment. Bring the crestline back!

The shoes were great at first, and then a week or two in they started squeaking, I though maybe it was just the sole needed to be worn in but 2 months in they're still squeaking, on every surface... I'll probably only use them for a hike/snow now since I love everything else about them. But for work I just cannot, imagine sound like Squidward everywhere I go :( Pros: warm, I got a half size bigger and my toes have so much room, waterproof, good traction on wet surfaces, color and style for sure Cons: Squeaky (maybe mines defective?) I'll recommend if I find out they're just defective. If not then please fix the squeak!

I am so glad that I bought these shoes because I have neuropathy in my feet and I work in a warehouse and it is very cold in there. I would have to wear three pair of socks to try to keep my feet warm, but with these shoes I don't have to do that now. Not only do they keep my feet warm, they are very comfortable and lot of people say that they're very nice looking and they're very sturdy and it helps me because being on concrete floor it's a good thing makes it more comfortable

Have had these boots for a little over a week and have been extremely pleased with them. Great on rainy days. Have worn these in 70-80 degree weather and they have been comfortable both in wear and temperature regulation, have not had sweaty feet. It's difficult finding these MTE boots/shoes in size 14 but am hopeful i can get my hands on the all black mte sk8 hi waterproof shoe as well. Also finally a shoe/boot with comfort cush soles!

The best working shoe I could find. I work blue collar up in Prudhoe Bay, I’ve been throwing steel toes in these bad boys and for the last few years they have held up. -50 - no problem, 40+ mile per hour winds - light work, rain - treated as a second thought. Highly recommend and I’ve put many of my coworkers on this shoe. The only way they could be better is if they already came with a steel toe or composite toe in them.

Purchased 9/21/26 it is 10/9 and the “Gore-Tex” on the toe has already rubbed off. It’s some sort of thin layer of white film, for something that’s supposed to be rough and weather resistant, it’s sad to see that it fell off so easily. It isn’t even winter yet, nor have I wore them other than to go to the store. It just made them seem cheap to me. Maybe I’ll update this review once I wear them in colder weather

I bought the Sk8-Hi GORE-TEX from an outlet, and honestly I'm really happy with them. It's cold outside, and these shoes actually keep my feet warm and dry. This is my first time buying shoes made for all weather, and I can really feel the difference. They're super comfortable and feel like walking on clouds. I also like how they keep my legs warm. Overall, they're great winter shoes and definitely worth it.

I love the shoe it's great for all weather use even snow . The design is also great and classic vans . My only issue is that for the value of the shoe .. The Vinyl "Gore-tex" lettering shouldn't be coming off after one hiking trip. The shoe feels great comfort wise and sturdiness for the weather . I'm just a little disappointed that the small vinyl detail that makes the shoe pop , is already coming off.
