Our verdict

A casual suede and canvas sneaker with enough tread for light dirt use. It is a lifestyle shoe first, and the hiking category label overstates its trail ability.

Overview

Not a technical hiking boot, the Range EXP is an everyday Vans sneaker with reverse waffle outsole treads for stepping off the pavement. The EVA midsole, padded collar and dual-density removable insoles round out the build.

Choose it for a good-looking daily shoe that handles a casual walk or a light workout on dirt. It is not water resistant, and the traction story tops out at concrete and dirt.

Who it's for

Walking around, short workouts and casual outfits suit the suede and canvas styling. Those planning long trail days or wet ground need a purpose-built hiking shoe.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Reverse waffle tread for grip
  • EVA midsole cushions and flexes
  • Dual-density removable insoles
  • Padded collar for a snug fit
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Hiking category overstates trail use
  • Fall season label only
  • Low top, no ankle support

Performance notes

The reverse waffle tread bites on concrete and dirt, and the EVA midsole supplies a springy, flexible step. Padded collars hold the heel, and removable dual-density insoles can be swapped. Grip depends on the outsole pattern and not on any waterproofing.
