Why We Love This Deal
Vans has several styles among what we'd consider the best sneakers of all time: the Classic Slip-on, the Old Skool, and a few others. It's been a while since the brand gave the world something truly memorable, but the UltraRange is in the running for being the next big shoe. Now in its second iteration, the Ultra Range takes the best parts of skate shoes and meshes them with something more rugged that's built for the trail. The best part? You can try a pair for nearly half off right now.
Vans’ UltraRange 2.0 SE Shoes are on sale for as low as $52 at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Inspired by the open trails and crafted with a skate ethos, these hybrids are a fantastic shoe that will do anything and go just about anywhere. With nearly 30 five-star ratings, they’ve got the numbers to back up their performance. This price is good on the green and black colorway, but from what we can see, inventory is running low, so grab one while you can.

What you’re getting in these super versatile UltraRange sneakers is an option for daily wear with decent outdoor capabilities. The durable leather and nylon uppers with reinforced high-wear zones pair up with a molded rubber toe and the brand’s signature UltraCush Lite midsoles for premium comfort (almost every reviewer mentions comfort). Then there’s the reverse waffle soles for grip and a must-have heel-lock design (for skating). And, at only 10.5 ounces, these are pretty darn light for what you get.
Originally, the UltraRange lineup was Vans’ answer to surfers and skaters who wanted a shoe that could do it all, and it was made to be worn hard. What resulted was a comfy shoe made for various terrains, and over time, it became more explorer-first in design and less skateboarding-focused. This 2.0 model gives more toebox room, better underfoot support, updated soles, and is, somehow, comfier than ever.
Compared to other UltraRange models like the EXO shoes and the Neo VR3s, these SE hybrids lean into a durable build for tougher terrains, while still incorporating premium, reinforced materials like leather, which makes them good even in colder months and wintry sidewalks.

What Wearers Are Saying
These kicks have 86% of all reviews coming in at a perfect 5-star rating, with almost all mentioning just how comfortable they are. One owner of the first-gen model noted they’re a huge improvement over the previous version. They said they “feel softer, wider fitting, and the suede feels already broken in.”
For just over $50, you’re getting a solid pair of kicks in these UltraRange SE sneakers that you’ll find yourself reaching for more than any other pair in your rotation, as so many have. With just enough toughness to handle winter weather, these are gonna sell fast—don’t wait to grab your pair.
