Hip boot - Fun hippie boot. Hard to lace at first but definitely worth it. Great way to give a hip look with jeans tucked in.

Great boots-great price!! I have these boots in the dusty brown and I loved them so much I had to have the black also. They are totally cool, stylish and comfortable. The quality is excellent-what else would you expect from Minnetonka??!! I wear them with everything since I am addicted to fringe. Zappos is the best online shoe store from the product selection to the customer service.

Looks good, feels better - I've been looking for similar boots since last season, therefore when I came across Minnetonkas, I ordered without searching further. I've been wearing them with tights, dresses, pants, jeans, and they go with anything. I haven't been on the snow yet, but considering how warm they keep your feet, I'm guessing they'll be great night-out boots when it snows.

Cute, trendy, affordable - I love these boots! They are cute, comfortable, an excellent buy for the money. Just don't choose to wear them when you're running late, it takes forever to get in and out of them!

These are the most comfy, fabulous boots. They're perfect over jeans or slouched down and loosely tied. Make sure you go with a smaller size as they tend to run a little big. By the way, I needed them rushed to me before I went out of town, and Zappos customer service could not have been more helpful. I got them one full day before my flight with no hassle. I will forever be a fan of this web site!

Great buy! These boots are adorable, comfortable, and warm. I was looking for an in-between boot for autumn in Chicago, and these are perfect! Though they are not waterproof, they can easily be Scotch-Guarded. Overall, a great buy. So fashionable and cute! They take a little getting used to at first, but they really grow on you. But here's a tip: order a full size smaller than your size. I am normally a 9 and I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly.

Really comfortable and cute!!! These boots are so comfortable. I usually wear a 9 1/2, so I bought a 10. They fit perfectly. They are so soft. I love them. They look great with a short dress or skirt. Fun to wear!

Very cool! Let me tell you...these boots get a lot of attention! They look so good with jeans! I'm usually a size 7.5 but got these beauties in a 7 & they fit great. One bad thing...they stain your socks. Bad idea if you wear 'em at the airport! Buy these awesome boots & don't forget to buy black socks!

Lovely - These boots are absolutely wonderful, thick, soft suede. I feel like something out of Pocahontas in the tan and I believe Kate Moss has a pair in black. Just below knee-length and a bit slouchy.

Hot! Hot! Hot! All right these boots are amazing! You will be for sure the hottest thing in the room with these boots on! A word of advice, they run big, so be sure to order a half to a full size down. I am a 5.5 so I got the 5. They are just a little roomy. People always compliment these totally radical boots so be prepared to be awesome in these fringed beauties!

Minnetonka Boots ROCK! These boots are FABU. Comfortable and def fun. Just be sure to spray them so they don't water stain, and be sure to order a size down from your usual size. Rock on, girl.

Minnetonka Front Lace Hardsole knee-high boot - I love your Minnetonka’s short back zip moccasin have worn them off and on during the winter BUT when I got the above-referenced I went nuts! They’re awesome and extremely comfortable. I wear them with my jeans tucked in - dresses - tunic shirts - everything. I will most likely buy them in the tan as well, if they stock that color. Everyone from the 60's and 70's will delight owning a pair or turn them on to someone else. I LOVE everything about these boots.

The pictures do these shoes no justice. I just bought these in the black, and I used to have the brown. They are so comfortable, it feels like you're wearing slippers, and they look awesome with skinny jeans or a summery dress. Seriously, you need these boots. They run a little large, so I recommend ordering a half size down if you are in between sizes.

I love the style of this shoe! I find that they match everything. However, there is something weird about the back of the heel on the inside of the shoe...it kills my Achilles tendon area, like something is pinching. I'm going to try to put a heel pad to see if it helps with the rubbing/pinching.

I read every review in reference to this boot and even watched the video hoping that someone would say something about the calf size, but no one did. I have to purchase tall boots with a minimum 17” circumference. I have wide calves. This boot fit my calves. There is no opening. The tongue and the boot are connected. There is only a crease on either side up and down the length of the boot. The boot is hard to lace up and the laces break easily so be careful when tightening them. With that said, it’s a comfortable boot and it’s really cute. I purchased them in caramel and black. I prefer the look of the black ones over the caramel.

I originally bought these in the shorter style and I wanted to wear them all day long. Both styles are incredibly comfortable. They feel like you're walking on a really fluffy and soft mattress. They look great with jeans (I have 3 different cuts of skinny jeans and they look good with all) and are very cute with skirts and dresses. My only complaint is that these boots (the taller ones) tend to scrunch in the back right by the Achilles heel area (on the back of the ankle) and they will wear your skin out like a pair of heels you're trying to break in. I went to a shoe repair shop and the guy said there's nothing that can be done because of how the boots are stitched. I refuse to return them, and am determined to figure out how I can wear them without wanting to cry at the thought of walking in them. For the record, the lower ones do not have the same problem!

This shoe has a very small/narrow footbed/sole, but lots of extra room all around (the suede stretches). Mine are actually about a half inch too long for me, but I couldn't even get my foot into the next size down! Laced tightly it doesn't matter, so order your normal size. I have wide calves and these fit perfectly, even over jeans. They get easier to put on/take off after the first few wears. Super comfy, super cute. I've wanted a pair for years. I’m disappointed that the pair I bought was returned several times (only one size 9 available for some time, on and off with notifications). The holes were stretched out by the time I got them.

Love the way these boots look - color and style are gorgeous! I was so excited to receive these, but bummed when I went to lace the first one and the lace snapped in half due to a thin spot in the leather. Zappos could not provide replacement laces however provided me with Minnetonka's number, which led me to a great customer service rep who is sending new laces out today! The boot is very comfy, true to size, however slightly narrow at my baby toe, but seem like they can be "worn in" since they are pliable.

I've had the shorter tramper boots for some time and love them so I decided to try these and I love them even better! They have such a cute bohemian vibe and they feel fantastic. I haven't had a problem with the heel pain others have mentioned, but I ordered a size down from my usual boot size and although they're snug at first they quickly mold and stretch to a perfect size. I have large calves and usually order wide calf boots and these fit fine even with jeans tucked in so if you have extra large calves, no worries here! I ordered these in the black but will definitely be ordering other colors in the future. I'm currently wearing these with skinny jeans but plan to wear them with shorts and dresses in the Spring. These boots are fantastic!

Shipment was quick. Shoe was nicely packaged. Boot took some effort to lace up. Some of the pre-made holes not fully opened up. Lacing up the shoe took some time and effort. Though there was some effort very cute boots on!! Very comfortable. Love wearing with jean skirts, dresses, and over matchstick jeans.

First, a word on Zappos. If you don't already know this, Zappos has some of the best customer service out there. The boots arrived within a day, even though I ordered the free 5 day shipping. Within an hour, they told me they would be shipping ahead of schedule. Now, about the boots. They are little narrow. I am a true 7 in every shoe I try on, and I have a medium width foot. I was surprised that these were a bit tight, especially in the toes. Also they have no arch support, so I put a Dr. Scholl's cushion in there. Perhaps this is the reason they felt tighter. I am going to keep the boots, because I am hoping they stretch out. I may try them without the cushion. Also, I got 3 compliments within the first hour I wore them.
