Second skin for your foot-
I love these shoes! The leather is sturdy, and the bottom, although not a hard sole, works itself into a smooth leather bottom. I wear these mostly inside the house, or take them to work to wear around when I'm not seeing clients. I can wear them outside, but avoid damp and dirt. They are fine on the city sidewalks. I don't know how long the sole will last, but it's worth it. They look great with jeans!

Native comfort -
My family has been wearing minnetonkas forever! Quality workmanship, good looks, and great comfort are what you'll find in these fantastic mocs - whether on the powwow circuit, or just heading out to run errands, you will not be disappointed!

These moccasins are very comfortable So comfortable that instead of changing my shoes to go out I just leave them on. I wasn't going to wear them out because they don't have a hard sole but oh well I will just replace them when they wear out. The width is a little wider than the other mocassins by Minnetonka.

I can't do without...
I'm a waitress in Alaska & these are the ONLY shoe I can wear to work in! Ive got neropathy & other shoes hurt-to-the-bone, but with these, I can still work :). Walking on the winter ice is tricky but I use my Minnetonka boots with soles to get around. Whenever food soils my moc's, I just throw em in the washer & start the week with clean attractive shows. THANX for the perfect fit to my feet & comfortable shoe to work in!!!!!

COMFORT AND FIT -
I am very happy with my mocassin shoes. I had some when I was in high school, and I had remembered they were so comfortable. I didn't know you all had them, so as soon as I saw them on your list, I put in a order right away. They are still so comfortable even at my age of 50! I am very satisfied and happy with them! Thank you!

This shoe took me back in time...and won lots of compliments at work on casual day. Had many requests of "where did you find those?" Perfect shoe for my jeans that didn't need to be hemmed.

Hard to get.
I really love these moccasins. They're like going bare footed. My only problem is I need a childs size 12 ASAP.

I was going to buy a pair of Minnetonka's 3 years ago, but didn't because I thought they were way too trendy. Now, they just fit my overall look and style and so I had to get a pair. These are definitely cute shoes, the front part is kind of long so if you're self conscious about having a slightly elongated looking foot then you may want to think twice. Before I get into the shoe review I want to say how amazing Zappos shipping is. I ordered these Saturday around 3, and got them Monday around 11...I mean?! Who does that? Zappos does, that's who. Love a company that ships on the weekend. But okay, back to the fit. I wear a 9.5, I'm a true 9.5 that occasionally goes up or down in size depending on the suggested fit. So I have maybe two pairs of size 10 shoes and I have several pairs of size 9 shoes, but I wear a 9.5. I purchased a 9 in these because so many reviewers suggested ordering a half size down. I wore these (sockless) today out and about when I ran a few small errands. And overall they were relatively comfy, but when I got back my pinky toe on my right foot was hurting. I have just started back my jogging routine so it could be a little bit from that, but I don't think so. The fit is generally snug -- at first it was a comfortable snug when I put them on out the box, but after walking around in them for just a few hours it has become a mildly uncomfortable snug, at least on the right foot. I'm hoping these will stretch out like everyone is saying, I'll definitely update the post. I think I may order a 9.5, and send back the 9s...not sure yet. Honestly, I wish Zappos/Minnetonka would have an official size recommendation. Like, should we order a 1/2 size down because these for sure will stretch? -or- should we stick with our usual shoe size? Zappos, tell me what to do! Please! I won't name them, but other online retailers often have size recommendations so our beloved Zappos should do it too. Oh, and for those who are saying "these feel like slippers", it's because they actually are slippers. These are soft-sole and can't be worn in the rain or in a busy rough city. These are just to wear around the house -or- run a few quicky errands in, basically require gentle wear...and that's why they're so inexpensive -- there's no sole, just a cushion on the inside. Oh, and let me not forget to mention that yes, the back of the shoes does curl up or give you that weird puckering heel thing after wearing them, but that's almost inevitable with suede boots that slouch some, right? Would love to know if others get this or how to prevent this if possible. Overall I like them, I just pray they actually do stretch to fit perfectly.

Similar in appearance to the Old Friend Margaret, but very different in fit and feel. The Margaret is a bit more sophisticated in style. The ankle on that one runs higher, and the lacing up the shoe is much more secure and better fitted than this one. The Margaret also has more decorative stitching detail and some pretty beads. When it comes to comfort, however, the Minnetonka is far superior. The Margaret has a three-part rubber sole which is actually all one piece on the inside, so it's very rigid feeling. This Minnetonka is truly soft soled, with a layer of foam inside and thick suede on the outside. I do have some complaints about this bootie, though. The foam insole is left exposed. The edges are raw foam and will cause a severe allergic reaction in my sensitive skin. I have double-wide feet and like all Minnetonkas, these mocs are very narrowly constructed. Eventually the natural leather will stretch, but my feet would always overhang the foam insole, which would be irritating because of the cliff-like edges, even without my chemical sensitivity issue. The area where there are two layers of suede overlapping is close to the widest area of my foot, so I can feel the edges digging in to my skin. For people who don't have very narrow feet, I wouldn't recommend any of the Minnetonka mocs, even this soft style. I found much better fit from Old Friend (AKA Peace) brand - with the exception of the Emily, which was horribly narrow, stiff, and uncomfortable.

Hey Shoppers! I just received my moccasins today, and I must say, I love them so much! For the most part, they are totally comfortable and cute/stylish. The color is more brown/orange looking, but I love them.

These moccasins are cute and so comfortable! Just be careful if you plan to wear them outside. They are not waterproof. I made the mistake on a drizzly day and they were soaked through the bottom. Besides that, they're great.

Hippie shoes -
I love these shoes! If you like to skip, dance, and walk on air then you will love these them. They are beautiful. My only issue with them is that the bottom is completely leather, and will probably wear out really fast. But still, they are fabulous and are incredibly comfy. I usually go barefoot, even at work/school, but I actually keep these shoes on! They’re great, especially if you like the robin hood/peter pan/Pocahontas look.

Unfortunately, I did not like the feel of these slippers on my feet. I wore them a bit too much before deciding that I did not like them, so I cannot return them (not Zappos' fault). I love the style and thought they would be like actual slippers (they are definitely for indoor use since there's nothing at the bottom to protect your feet), but they feel more like loose socks (this may just be me). I'm usually a 7.5 and ordered a half a size smaller, and they fit fine; so for those out there who are interested in getting this slipper, I recommend ordering a half size smaller.

These are uncomfortable on my foot around the place where they lace, unfortunately. Will be sending them back. Intend to continue shopping at Zappos, a wonderful company!

Minnetonka mocs -
Although I wore this style for many years, I just didn't like the fit of these. While the soles are suede, they have some sort of insert which didn't line up with my heel. The bottoms felt too rigid and the tops were a bit bunchy.
It is a narrow shoe and, while I have narrow feet, these still weren't comfy and the top part where you tie them formed unattractive gaps. If your foot is long and narrow, it will look even longer and narrower in these.

I have a pair of my mother's moccasins from the 1970's, and I thought these would be a great replacement - I was wrong, and sent them back. They're much redder in person than they look on here. They're comfortable, but they just looked too pointed and Peter Pan-like for my taste. Give them a try if you like them... you have nothing to lose, afterall.
