Vans’ Baddest Winter Boot Is Even Better as a Sneaker
Remember Vans' MTE Standard snow boots? Well, they're essentially sneakers now called the Standard Low.
The brand's new Standard Low takes all the great things about its baddest winter boots and brings them into an even more stylish, low-top sneaker style.
It's still waterproof, warm, and wet-weather ready. It also keeps the All-Trac outsoles, which are designed specifically for cold, slippery terrains. But the Standard Low is even slicker, presenting cleaner uppers dressed in smooth suede.
Vans has started the model off with two nice colorways: "Demitasse Brown" (like those recent tasty Slip-ons) and classic black. They're now available on Vans' website for $125.
We honestly should've seen this coming. The skateboarding brand already downsized with the Standard Mid boots, which snowboarder Blake Paul took for a spin in 2025. It only made sense to keep going lower.
And it did.
Vans isn't alone, either. Nike also recently dropped the top on its Air Max Goadome boots, resulting in basically an even cooler dadcore sneaker.
It happens to the greatest of winter boots, it seems.
