Testing the Vans MTE Crosspath From NYC Streets to Colorado Peaks

From Hokkaido to Hawaii to Rio de Janeiro, some of the most memorable trips of my career as an editor have involved almost zero planning. Book the flight, check the weather, then show up and go where the wind blows. The key to this travel philosophy is exclusively packing adaptable, comfortable gear capable of carrying me from city streets to deserted beaches and up mountain trails. My kit changes depending on the destination, but I almost always travel with a single pair of versatile shoes. And recently, those have been the new Vans MTE Crosspath.

The weather-proof, all-terrain shoe is designed for the exact type of travel I love—where you never know what’s around the next corner and there’s no time to return to the hotel to swap shoes anyway.

My testing regimen meant errands around Field Mag hometown NYC, followed by a visit to Colorado last week. From crowded NYC airports to Denver concrete to Boulder trails and back, I put a couple dozen miles on my pair of Crosspaths, and honestly, they only got more comfortable as the test went on.
