Customer Reviews Minnetonka Silverthorne Thong

I really like these sandals for their unique look, but I think they're a little overpriced. They have no arch support which works for me – flat feet. I'd really like a pair in chili red, but would only buy at a discounted sale price.

I ordered the bigger size, so the length was fine, but the width was way too narrow.

These are so cute and comfy, but run too small. I returned them because I bought size 8 and it felt like a size 7.

I had a pair of these a couple years ago and loved them. But something felt wrong in the construction of the shoe I tried. It almost felt as though the toe strap was placed in the wrong spot. I could not get my foot in far enough to get the toe strap in the correct position. The strap ended up 1/2 inch away from the base of my toes. At first I thought it would loosen with wear but I decided to return because the strap was very rough and would rub my toe raw.

The fit and size were correct and were comfortable, but one of the cord straps on the side of the sandal came out of the metal holding it and did not last very long. I would not recommend this shoe because of that.

I love the look of these and they became my go-to sandal for running around town all summer, though they're not comfortable enough for long walks, like though a big airport. I was really disappointed that by the end of summer, one of the braids had broken loose and now just flaps there looking very seedy. I did wear them a lot but I think they should have lasted more than one season so I don't think I'll replace them.

I'm bummed about these shoes. I ordered the colorful red ones. They are super cute, well made, and the footbed is good and supportive, BUT the strap is too tight. I'm an average sized person, but the thong strap would not accommodate my foot sliding all the way into the shoe. It was the correct length and width, so I don't think another size would help. And it's not a full leather strap, so it's not going to stretch over time. I had to return these.

These are so cute and I wanted to love them. Nice sueded foot bed kept me from sliding off. They fit my narrow foot but not enough arch support for my plantar fasciitis probe feet. I returned them.

Although I loved the look of these sandals I had to return them because the piece between the toes was too wide and uncomfortable.

These sandals are adorable but..... they run small.... need to order a full size up...and I am a medium width, which is okay for me...but I can see most women needing a wide width. Minnetonka needs to make them avaiable in wide and make them a "true-size" not that you have to order up a size.

Very cute, but no arch support. Unfortunately, I need to return them.

Very nice design , comfortable but got a blister in between toes. Flip flop is too short, I am 8 1/2, order 9 and it is still short. So it is an whole size too short.

I had to return these, they are extremely narrow. My foot was hanging over the sides which was too bad as they are very attractive shoes.

I am having a difficult time buying shoes this summer. Maybe it is because I am trying on some brands that are new to me. I ordered tong sandals in my usual size 7 1/2 and they were too long. I tried size 7 in the same shoe and they were to short. This brand I started with size 7. They are too short and too narrow. Don't come in half sizes or wide width. Grrrrr

I found the footbed to be only moderately comfortable and lacking in arch support, and the toe posts rubbed painfully between my toes. This is something that may have softened with wear but I'm not willing to put up with blisters in the meantime. Sadly, these will have to go back.

The sandals are pretty but the size is not true to form. I have had several pair of Minnetonka thong sandals size 9 through the years. This pair, however, is more narrow in the toe and shorter than the other size 9 Minnetonka sandals that I own. Minnetonka has obviously changed their sizing. I wish the sandal came in 1/2 size increments.

Very cute but runs VERY small. My sandals are usually 9.5, so I went up and got a 10 (even though it said to go down). It was too short, my heels hang off the edge. I guess I will go order an 11, but their sizing is over a whole size off. I put them next to a size 9.5 pair of flip flops I have, the the 9.5 was longer. Otherwise very cute and soft bottom.

I loved these shoes when I first got them. I ordered the brown leather. The style is very cute. But after 2 months, the material that is underneath the lining and between the heal has started to come through. You can see rectangles outlined in the shoe and it makes it very uncomfortable to walk in them. I only wear these shoes a few times a week, so they should have lasted a lot longer than this.

Bought a pair (two, actually) size 6 but didn't realize my heel hung over the back - just a tad, but it did - until I got home. Went online only to read all these comments that they run small (to which I can now attest!), so I took them back to the store and tried a size 7. Too bad they don't come in half sizes, but anyway, my heel also hung over the back of the 7, just about the same as the 6 and there was too much room at the front end of the sandal between my toes and the front end of the sandal! That little thing that goes between your toes was set too far back. If it had been up toward the front of the sandal about 1/2 inch farther it would've been perfect! Such a shame; otherwise these things were so comfortable. They had the nice soft suede cushion, too, which, in reading some of the other reviews, they apparently had done away with for a time. Overall, very disappointed. Minnetonka: Get your sizing right!

Soooo comfortable, but disappointed they don't come in half sizes. I wear a 6 but my heel hangs off the back just enough to notice! Will try a 7 and hope they're not too big. Was really excited to wear these; so stinkin' comfortable!

This was my first pair of Minnetonka sandals. Normally I wear a size 8 in most thong sandals. Unfortunately, they were a little small, my heel hung off the back slightly. So I will be returning these for a size 9. Other than the size issue, these sandals upon wearing them a short time are extremely comfortable, supportive, seem very well made to stand up to lots of wear, and they're beautiful too!

I have several other Minnetonka sandals and wanted to try a thong. Cute, maybe a little narrow, but most oddly my heel hung off the back edge just slightly. I wear a 9 in this brand (and virtually all brands). This shoe had plenty of length in the front, and otherwise fit. Not in love enough to try a 9.5.

Bought these in two colors, love the style and the look but they were almost a full size too small. I wear size 11 and my heel was hanging off of the back. Both pairs going back. If a 12 is available, then I'll exchange; otherwise my quest for the perfect pewter sandal goes on.

This is the fourth sandal I tried as the other brands just weren't comfortable. I ordered a 9 and a 10. The 10 was too big, I couldn't keep it on my foot while walking. The 9 is a tad small but I'm keeping it since its relatively comfortable and I'm sick of searching. What ever happened to half sizes in shoes??
