What’s new with the UltraRange 2.0?  

The UltraRange 2.0 takes the popularity and versatility of the original UltraRange EXO and updates it with improved comfort, support, durability, and traction. A heel lock design and UltraCush™ Lite midsole keep your foot planted, while an improved toe box ensures true-to-size fit and all-day comfort for those who are Always Moving.   

What happened to the EXO?  

The EXO has been phased out of the UltraRange collection, allowing space for its newer, improved UltraRange 2.0 to shine in our UltraRange lineup. If you don't like change or you’re craving the original version (pre-upgrades) that inspired the UltraRange 2.0, the EXO is still available in Customs. Customize your own EXO Shoe using our Customs page.  

Does the UltraRange have good walking shoes? 

Yes, Vans UltraRange shoes are good for walking, especially shoes with UltraCush™, such as the UltraRange 2.0. UltraCush™ features EVA foam cushioning for comfort that molds to your feet over time. Ideal for everyday wear, UltraCush™ allows for that plush feel, reducing impact without the added weight.  

Are UltraRange shoes good for running? 

Yes, Vans UltraRange shoes are good for recreational running, depending on what you’re looking for. The UltraRange Neo VR3 offers extra cushioning and support for all-day comfort, while the Crosspath offers traction for light trails. Both models are great options for casual runners who want comfort and versatility. 

Are UltraRange shoes good for hiking? 

Yes, the UltraRange line is perfect for adding a bit more grip and utility to your everyday shoe. Built for the occasional light trail, any shoe from the UltraRange line make a great travel companion. 
 

For tougher terrain, consider the Crosspath or Crestline models. Our lightest shoe is the UltraRange, blending technical features with a sporty look that works anywhere. 

Are UltraRange shoes good for golf? 

Yes, the UltraRange 2.0 can work as a casual golf shoe, thanks to its lightweight build and grip. While it’s not specifically designed for the course, its comfort and traction make it a solid choice for casual rounds. 

Are UltraRange shoes waterproof? 

No, the UltraRange is not waterproof. If you’re looking to stay dry while keeping with a similar style, check out the Vans Crosspath. It’s got a similar look and feature set, but with built-in water resistance to keep you covered when the weather’s not playing nice. The SK8-Hi Waterproof Insulated Shoe is a great choice for day-to-day versatility for the elements, or you could try the Crestline Waterproof Shoe for a tough, high-top sneaker boot.
