Vans – UltraRange Pro Shoe

June 30, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Vans UltraRange Pro shoes…

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to buy these shoes. We would never promote something we weren’t stoked on and would wear ourselves!

Remember when riding shoes used to be bulky and heavy? It’s kind of crazy to think about much shoes have changed over the years as far as weight and looks go. A few years ago the UltraCush line from Vans was released which made for a super lightweight shoe that is really comfortable to walk and hang out in. They weren’t ideal to ride in because the material is more of a foam than rubber and would get torn apart from the pedals. Vans decided it was time to bring together the comfort of the UltraCush line and the durability of the classic Waffle Sole to make a shoe that was built to ride in, but still was comfortable to wear. The UltraRange Pro is that shoe! The UltraRange shoe features a new UltraCush Lite midsole compound which gives amazing impact cushioning with the Duracap upper reinforcements in high wear spots to help keep the shoe durable, suede uppers for a clean look and the Vans Waffle Outsole for grip and support. Inside you can find the Luxline sock-fit construction which helps keep the weight down and reduces rubbing and hot spots, too.

The UltraRange Pro shoe is a balance between lightweight and comfort with durability to keep the sessions going strong. The shoes are available in Black with White and Blanc with Black color options for $90 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans now, or direct from the Vans Webstore!

You know you can’t go wrong with the Waffle sole. The UltraRange Pro has the waffle outsole for plenty of grips on the pedals and support.

The shoe is also available in a Blanc and Black color option for those of you who are looking for a lighter color instead of the classic black with white.

Like we said above, the UltraRange Pro shoe is available now through BMX shops and mail-orders or direct from the Vans Webstore now!
