The impending arrival of April will bring with it warmer temperatures as well as lots of rainy weather, which is something these new Vans GORE-TEX styles aim to get wearers ready to handle. Three of the brand's most popular styles have been enhanced with GORE-TEX material including the Old Skool, the Sk8-HI and the UltraRange EXO, which will help them to easily repel moisture from inclement weather. The sneakers are all accented by GORE-TEX material along with accents of suede, leather and nubuck to enhance their style-conscious finish.
The Vans GORE-TEX sneakers are available now from the brand's UK website and are part of the continued weather-proofing of classic fashion styles to make them applicable for year-round wear.
