As temps dip, surfers need to layer up before hitting the beach. While traversing the cold, hard, wet ground on their way to catch a few waves, proper footwear is in order. Luckily, Vans, a brand that knows a thing or two about action sports, partnered with British surf brand Finisterre for a collection of sneakers designed to do just that. The line includes a Chukka MTE, UltraRange Hi MTE, and an Authentic MTE, all of which are prepped for winter. The Chukka MTE is outfitted with a Sherpa fleece liner and a heat reflective insole. The UltraRange MTE boasts insulated panels, a rugged outsole, and a water repellent finish. Finally, the Authentic MTW, a Vans classic, gets updated with a water repellent canvas, a reversed waffle sole for grip, and reflective laces. If you’re braving the elements to catch a few waves this winter, one of these pairs should be on your feet.
