A Waterproof Vans Half Cab for NYC Slush Season: GORE-TEX in Light Grey
Vans' Half Cab skate shoe gets GORE-TEX waterproofing and insulation in a light grey colorway, listed online from November 9. Suede-and-canvas upper, All-Trac rubber outsole, $180, in men's sizes 8 to 13.
Vans has added a light grey version of its Half Cab GTX Insulated to the Premier online store, listed from November 9, 2026. The shoe takes the familiar Half Cab skate silhouette and pairs it with GORE-TEX waterproof technology and insulation. The style number is VN000XUFLTG1, and it is priced at $180.
The upper combines waterproof suede with canvas, and the shoe sits on Vans' All-Trac rubber outsole. The colorway is a tonal light grey, a quiet shade that slots easily into cold-weather outfits.
Sizing is listed in US men's, running 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 and 13. The product page notes free shipping. It is sold through Premier's website, and no New York store release is described.
For anyone dealing with rain and slush through a New York winter, a skate shoe that keeps water out and adds some warmth is a practical alternative to swapping into boots. It comes from the Vans OTW line, and it keeps the low-profile look of a classic Half Cab while adding weather protection.
