For Vans' Half Cab, being a good-looking outdoor boot is an easy side quest. For one, it was already, well, halfway there, thanks to its signature rugged mid-cut skate design. All it needed was the right tech to reach its true winter boot potential.
Oh, hello, Half Cab GORE-TEX Insulated shoes.
The winterized Vans shoe keeps the unmistakable Half Cab look and labels. But now it's warmer, breathable, and waterproof. Basically, it's more than ready for cold weather.
It doesn't feature Vibram soles like those brand's other hardy Half Cab boots. Instead, Vans installed All-Trac "tires," making this ride just as durable and grippy.

Another great thing about the GORE-TEX Half Cab is its style. It comes in a variety of simple yet stylish colorways, including black, red, and grey. They're all available on Vans' website for $180.

Really, all of Vans' winterized sneakers are stunners, from the waterproof SK8 Hi sneaker-boots to its handsome Crosspath XC model.
Looking good (and dry) comes with the territory.
