Cutest Indian Booties! These are super cute for looking casual; blue jeans, shorts -maybe look good with a skirt? 'Very soft leather like all Minnetonkas, but would LOVE to see them made in a smooth glove leather instead of suede! The sole seems really durable; it's not the 'crepe' sole you may have seen before, but a harder rubber with tread pattern. Makes these suckers *HEAVY*!! Bring back the crepe soles or even better, SOFT SOLE!! Also they seem to run relatively narrow compared to many of their other shoes/boots, and a bit short in the length department. They have a suede leather insole (YAY!), instead of the more typical foam insoles that most Minnetonka models have. Would get 5 stars for comfort if they'd made a soft sole, and gotten the sizing right; still may get a different color, as they are fabulously cute.

Minnetonka fringed suede high-top boots - Just got these today and I'm impressed. I like the heavier sole...much easier on the feet than soft soles. A great look. These were absolutely made for jeans!

First Time Buyer - I have never bought any type of shoe without first trying it on. I was so surprised and glad that I ordered the boot. It fits well and feels great, it is snug and I really like that, I have a narrow foot and find it difficult to find narrow footwear. When your customers said it was narrower than they thought I was happy to try the boot. It fits perfectly. I was also pleased with the shipment of the boot. I received it in a timely fashion and plan on buying more footwear from Zappos. Thank you for a pleasant experience.

My classy boots - Love the look and the feel. I have gotten many compliments. I wear them as much as possible. People have stopped me on the street wanting to know where to get them. I wish they came in other colors.

Love these boots - These boots are so comfortable. I enjoyed the snug fit. They feel like a pair of slippers. The style is great for jeans. The color is great.

Awesome boots. I love my hi-top back-zip boots! They look so GREAT! I normally wear a size 8W shoe, so ordered an 8 1/2 in this boot. And while in the beginning they were snug, they molded to my feet within a couple of weeks and now they feel a tad too large. I recommend ordering your normal size if you wear a wide because they do stretch out eventually. I have had mine for a couple of months now and I wear really thick socks with them, not to mention them being a little too long. My next pair will be a smaller size and I'll just break them in.

Great Shoe - This will be my favorite weekend shoe and I ordered a fringe jacket to match. It is very comfortable and is able to go out in the weather with the hard sole. I highly recommend this shoe. Also, the quick delivery will bring me back for future orders!!

Awesome shoes - Every pair of shoes I have gotten from Zappos has been especially nice. For one reason the look alone is absolutely my style and I know I won't see anyone else with them. Also the quality of the shoes, well you can't beat it antwhere! Thank you for these interesing shoes.

Great with jeans - These are very comfortable, completely flat boots. The soles are thin and there is no arch support. They seemed very narrow at first but they stretched as the suede is soft.

Love these! I need a flip flop that is adjustable. I have been buying the Rockport's for a few years now. Best ones I have found. Very comfy!

Shoe Fit - Although the shoe fits well, it is still too wide for my narrow foot. I received the shoes very quickly and I was very grateful to have them in time for vaca!

The shoes were just too big. Kind of felt like flippers. Really cute. Ordering a size smaller would of helped me. They are cute.

Rockport A'janae Review - Loved the shoe, it is comfortable and stylish enough for me to wear with a pair of jeans or a sundress. This is the right shoe for me.

So comfortable - I bought this shoe in orange and it is so cute and comfortable that I can wear it all day. Rockport creates such well made, durable shoes and I would highly recommend these as a casual shoe.

Love them! I just ordered these and received them. I ordered a 7 1/2 because of the prior post that these were running big. I DISAGREE. I hover between a 7 1/2 and 8 and I am exchanging for an 8. That said, these are going to be great for my upcoming Italy trip. I love the adjustable foot strap for those times when your feet swell. Great support too. Amore'!

614L - Sole is comfortable and the velcro strap is easily adjustable to assure that the shoe stays on. The front strap that goes across the front of the foot is a little loose for my narrow feet but it doesn't interfere with wearing of the shoe.
