I need a new pair of winter shoes and have decided to give Vans a try. Where I live there’s freezing temperatures 6 months out of the year, so it’s cold and a lot of snow.

Definitely need the MTE3’s, but I can really figure out and decide between the standard MTE3 and the UltraRanges.

Comfort level on walks is of course a bonus, but the main priority is warmth and feet staying dry. Is there a difference there between the two?

Edit: also how are the sizes? I saw some older posts where a lot of people said to size up half a size compared to normal Vans. Is that still accurate?
