Vans MTE UltraRange Neo VR3 for Wherever the Day Takes You
The Vans MTE UltraRange Neo VR3 is built for here, there, anywhere days, letting you take on the unexpected moments of a day while making a more sustainability conscious choice along the way.
What the Shoe Is Built From
- Upper made with leather products that support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group, plus 100% recycled PET textiles
- Midsole made using at least 50% biobased EVA foam partially derived from plant-based sources, per the ASTM D6866-16 testing standard
- Outsole compound that is 60% regeneratively grown natural rubber, sourced from farms using practices intended to promote biodiversity, enhance water cycles, improve soil health, and sequester carbon
To earn Vans' Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials, and this shoe was engineered to keep the grip and durability Vans has been known for since 1966.
Who This Shoe Fits Into
A casual shoe built around recycled and regenerative materials suits anyone whose day moves between the shop, the boat ramp, and everywhere in between, especially shoppers who want their everyday footwear to line up with more sustainability-conscious choices without giving up the grip and durability Vans built its name on.
Breaking In and Caring for the Shoe
Like most Vans casual shoes, expect the upper to soften and mold to your foot with regular wear. Wipe the leather and recycled PET textile upper down with a damp cloth to keep it clean, and let the shoe air dry away from direct heat if it gets wet, since high heat can affect the biobased EVA midsole and natural rubber outsole over time.
