Vans UltraRange 2.0 Shoes, from $56 (was $100)
Why do we like this deal?
Skate shoes were extremely popular early on, but people have since shifted toward styles inspired by all-day comfort, utility, and running. Vans has addressed that change with new shoes with cushioning and support, while still maintaining a look that respects its skate roots. One of those styles, the UltraRange (now in its second iteration), is almost half off right now thanks to 30% off almost everything at Vans, which is live through June 28.
The $100 Vans UltraRange 2.0 shoes were already discounted by $80, but with the additional 30% discount applied at checkout, the price dropped to $56. The red colorway is almost sold out, but the drizzle gray colorway is completely in stock and it’s a color you can use any time of year.

What shoppers need to know
- Upper: suede
- Midsole: ultracush light
- Outsole: Reverse waffle lugs, molded rubber toe cap
- Construction: Rapidweld stitchless construction
- Best for: Daily wear, light outdoor activity, skate/surf inspired style
The UltraRange 2.0s are derived from the brand’s surf-team shoes, coming with a more roomy fit and stronger outsole, while keeping the weight lower than what made the first version popular. Weighing in at 299 grams with a 7mm heel to toe, they’re closer to a lightweight running shoe than a traditional skate shoe, which is a big part of why they found an audience outside of the skate park. The RapidWeld construction also cuts out the seams that tend to wear out in the first place on these types of canvas sneakers.
Inside Vans’ own catalog, UltraRange 2.0 has overtaken longtime staples like Old Skool and Authentic as a big draw for new customers. At this price, they’re the same value as grabbing one of those classics on sale, just with more cushioning and a more current look.

what shoppers are saying
A big reason for the UltraRange’s popularity is its cushioning, and one buyer wrote, “I wear these to work all day with my feet on them. So comfortable!” A second reviewer said, “Best pair of Vans I’ve ever worn.”
Another shopper commented on the styling options: “I wear them with jeans, shorts, and khakis. They’re versatile and low-maintenance. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.”
At $56, the Vans UltraRange 2.0 shoes are a solid choice if you want a pair of skate-inspired daily drivers. Just make sure to get a pair while this sale is going on.
