The Vans Womens UltraRange VR3, built with sustainability in mind
If you have been comparing the Vans UltraRange VR3 or looking up the womens UltraRange Vans, this version is described by Vans as another step toward more sustainable footwear, with every part of the UltraRange re-thought, re-engineered and rebuilt for that goal.
What is built into the VR3
- One piece knit upper made with 50% organic cotton, 36% recycled PET, and 14% recycled nylon
- Vans leather products support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group
- EcoCush midsole made using at least 50% biobased EVA foam partially derived from plant based sources per ASTM D6866-16 testing standard
- EcoWaffle rubber outsole made with responsibly sourced natural rubber instead of petroleum derived synthetic rubber
Who this shoe fits into
The UltraRange VR3 is built as an everyday shoe, light enough for all day wear around town, the shop, or the beach parking lot, with a knit upper designed to reduce production waste compared to Vans' traditional cut and sew construction. It suits anyone who wants a Vans shoe for daily rotation without the stiffness of a more structured skate shoe.
Wearing and caring for a knit upper shoe
Because the upper is a one piece knit rather than a traditional leather or canvas construction, spot clean it with a soft brush and mild soap rather than tossing it in a washing machine, which can stretch or distort the knit. Let the EcoWaffle outsole and EcoCush midsole do the work of grip and cushioning, they are engineered to maintain the grip and durability Vans has been known for since 1966.
Vans' background in skate culture
Vans has been at the heart of skateboarding since 1966, and that history carries through the wide range of shoe styles it builds today, including this more sustainability focused UltraRange line.
