Love these shoes. Comfortable and stylish. However, I've had to replace the lining twice in 3 years. The felt wore out my first season, didnt seem to be very durable. But I love them so much, and the rest of the shoe is still in great shape, so I hate to throw them away. So, my shoe repair guy just keeps replacing the lining with leather and I'm going on my 4th season with them.

I love these sandals. I have them in every color. I live in Arizona where the pavement gets very, very hot. These sandals have a nice cushioned sole to protect my feet from the heat. They are very comfortable and stylish. I've had a lot compliments.

I love these sandals! The minute I tried them on I knew they were keepers. Not only are they very stylish, but they are comfortable. I wouldn't say they have the greatest arch support, but the footbed is so soft and comfortable that my foot has settled in nicely. My feet have issues, but with these sandals they feel no pain. When I'm in a hurry to get out the door, these sandals are the first I slip into. I've also had many compliments from them, which is always a plus.

I have the Red ones and receive lots of compliments. Comfort is good. Leather is stiff between the toes has to be worn and broke in.

this is a different sole than the other Minnetonka sandals - The other sandals I've had from Minnetonka have a more styled sole than this sandal has. The make of this sandal is the base is narrower in the ball of the foot. The sandal is pretty enough but I will only buy the other type of sole they make, which I love.

Loved this shoe from the first time I tried it on. I have a very wide foot and this sandal accommodated me nicely in a medium. It is really cute.

Reviewer: CJ from ROCKFORD, IL
Overall: (3 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I **LOVE** this shoe! I must love it, as I've had at least 4 pair (in 2 different colors) over the past few years. They're cute as heck (and I've received COUNTLESS compliments on them) and extremely comfortable (as long as you order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear) but over the years, I've noticed 2 rather significant problems with them...1) I have a narrow foot so I always order AA width (which thank GOD they offer - so few companies offer Narrow - so Kudos to them for even making them slim) but Minnetonka's Narrow is still a smidge wider than say a Naturalizer Narrow. They fit fine for the most part, but I have tripped up stairs over the years (usually when I'm in a hurry) and I've noticed that always has something to do with the width issue. If you have an INSANELY NARROW FOOT, this shoe probably won't work for you. 2) After a good summer of wear (sporting them 4-5 times a week), the inside foot bed starts to crack. Once that happens, it hurts like crazy to walk on, so the shoes have to be pitched. If they were more expensive, I would probably choose a different 'favorite style', but the price range isn't so bad - as long as you realize you'll probably need to replace them by next year. I'd love to give this shoe 5 stars all-around because it really is my 'fav', but because of the footbed-cracking-issue, I just can't. Sorry, Minnetonka!

Happened to pick up this sandal while shopping in Santa Fe. It felt so soft I had to try them on. It was like stepping on a cloud. The most comfortable thing I've ever had on my foot. The fit was true to size. I delayed ordering a second pair in red. I just hope the other Minnetonka style I did order is just as comfortable.

Reviewer: Sl. from Seattle, WA
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (4 Stars)
This is a very cute thong, but I strongly agree with the other reviewers who suggest going up a size. I usually wear either an 8 1/2 or 9 in shoes. I first ordered the 9 in this thong and it was too small. I reordered another pair in size 10 and it fits great. Having never owned a pair of 9 1/2 shoes, let alone a TEN (!), I was surprised that this was the correct size for me. This thong is cute, extremely comfortable, and reasonably priced. They don't need any breaking in period which is a definite plus in my book.

These sandals are the most comfortable I have worn in a very long time. I wear an 8.5 and usually take the 8. When I got the 8 I thought they were too small and got the 9. They actually break in and now are a little loose. I would have preferred the 8 for a more comfortable fit but either way I love them. The leather is beautiful.

Love the Silverthorne thong. Unlike many thong sandals this one didn't need breaking in to be comfortable. The Silverthorne looks nice on the feet, and the slight heel gives it more style than a flat, without sacrificing comfort. My normal shoe size is a 7 1/2 and I found the size 8 in the Silverthorn to be a perfect fit. I highly recommend this sandal.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Great look, not so great fit - Great looking, comfortable and versatile but definitely a half-size smaller than normal size 7 sandals/thongs and the narrowest medium ever. My little toe hangs just over the edge of the thong and I do not have wide feet. The other thong in a different brand that I ordered at the same time fits great.

Comfy Sandal - I am so glad I took the advice of other reviewers and went up a size. Usually in a sandal I am a size 6, but in this style I ordered the 7 and my foot is right at the end of the shoe. I got the dark brown, and I love them! Very cushy. Zappos is the only place I buy shoes now and as always, they did a fantastic job!

I LIVE IN THESE SANDALS - I live in Miami, where a good portion of the year it's hot and humid. These are just perfect as the leather breathes and doesn't build up sweat on your feet. Love them...about to buy my second pair (I wore the ones I have OUT!!).

Love this shoe - I bought a brown pair in Sedona about three years ago and they became the only sandal I wanted to wear...so was thrilled to find the same shoe in black on Zappos. Very comfortable, look good, wear extremely well. What more could a shoe girl ask for?

Great sandals! I love the dressiness of this casual sandal. People ask me if it is a much more expensive Brighton sandal and I know I got a bargain. I live in these sandals all summer. They have such a thick, comfortable padding that gives good support.

Love these sandals! I wore them all over Italy and they were perfect. I don't usually like thong sandals, but thought these would be easy to get on and off at airport security checks. I ended up wearing them the whole trip. They look nice with slacks, shorts, and skirts. And soooo comfortable; I'm buying another color tonight!

They seemed a little shorter than most size 7 sandals in the length; however, after you wear them a few times they fit pretty good.
