Customer Reviews Minnetonka Tramper Ankle Hi Boot

Awesome! Absolutely I love these! I also have the Minnetonka lace-ups in the knee-hi style, in black too...I did a review on them as well & the sizing on the Tramper is again, consistent with the knee-hi's style. I read tons of reviews (even on other sites) about sizing prior to ordering & purchased the size 8. They fit perfect! This is my "true" size in all shoes with the exception of Ugg Classics (I wear a 7 as they are known to run big) & in Converse tennis shoes (I wear a 7 1/2 because they are well known to run big). A lot of reviews said these run small & to order up but I think if you read the reviews carefully that most of these buyers wear a 1/2 size in shoes (ie: 7 1/2) & these don't come in 1/2 sizes so they feel "small" when they order a size 7...or they have a wide foot which could make them feel snug & "small." They are leather so they will stretch eventually...The dye transfers to your skin (beware!) but it easily washes off I think it will subside after several wearings. Totally worth it! No big arch support in these, but not a problem for me...super comfy! So cool with cut-off shorts & a boho flowy top! I want every color!

These are lighter in color than they appear in the image but otherwise they are awesome and comfortable! I leave the laces loose on mine because otherwise they rub a bit on my heel but I like the way they look like that so no worries.

I love these booties. So cute and pretty comfortable. I read reviews that they run large and stretch. I usually wear size 7 and ordered a 6. They were very snug at first, but after wearing them only a few times, they fit perfectly and I'm so glad I went with the smaller size.

I bought the shoes for a friend that has been wanting them, because her others were worn out. They were perfect for her and she loves them. great gift item.

Great little boot: I love the soft outer sole. The fit is fine. I decided I did not need the fringe so I trimmed it off and then folded the top down for a shorter bootie look. Also, I am tying the laces a bit differently by wrapping them once around the ankle. Looks great with leggings with a skirt. I am very pleased with this boot. I may purchase some other Minnetonka products in the future.

These boots are awesome. I'd fully recommend them for high school/college kids that want to stay comfy, but still have a bit of edge to their outfit. They're really nice if you're going to be walking around for most of your day, as they honestly feel like slippers. I usually wear them with sweats, skinnies, and leggings, and they look great either way. My only complaint is that they are a bit big because the definitely do stretch out with wear. I had a pair of moccasin flats a while back and I could wear a good size smaller. I bought these in my normal size 7 and could probably use a 6-6.5. I like layering my socks in the fall and winter months when I wear them, so that's alright. All in all, I'd size down, and if they have them in the size/color combo you're looking for - go for it! A great, versatile, and long-lasting buy.

I ordered these in taupe, which online looks like a chestnut brown. In reality they are much much lighter - a dark beige, which at first I found disappointing but actually the color grew on me. Anyway, these fit me true to size. I'm an 8 with wide feet and the 8 was the perfect length. Very comfortable despite a slight pinch at the heel which seems like it will go away when the shoes are broken in from wear. I love them and I find them surprisingly comfortable so far.

These boots are a good substitution for my Doc Martens. The tread on the sole is wearing out a bit faster than I would have expected. I have been wearing these almost daily since I got them (about a month ago) and already the tread on the ball of the foot is pretty well worn. That is my only (mildly) negative observation though. There was no "break in" time, they fit perfectly from day one. At first I thought they were too small because my toe went right up to the front of the shoe and they seemed narrow, but they were so comfortable I just went with it. By the end of the day I realized that's just the cut of the boot, it's supposed to fit the foot closely like that. If you have wide feet, I would recommend this boot for that fact alone - these will stretch out to fit your foot perfectly. They keep my feet warm when it's chilly, but cool when it's hot. They are so flexible that I can sit, kneel, and play with my kids completely unencumbered. They are cute and stylish too! Also, I'm really into the whole "barefoot shoes" thing and have spent a lot on barefoot stuff. These boots couldn't be called "barefoot" in the technical sense, but I have noticed that they allow for some serious proprioception. I can feel cracks in the pavement, twigs, and clumps of grass in my yard. I love these boots! Buy a pair!

If you buy Minnetonka and expect them to be super comfy from the get-go, you've obviously never owned any before, because it is going to take around 2 weeks of breaking in to be perfect, and after that, they most certainly are. Just give them some time, wear them around the house with big socks, and put up with it for a short time. I love these, they are great. They are just going to be uncomfortable and seem small at first, that's just how it goes. Don't give up and send them back, stay the course! Highly recommend!

These are cute, well made and comfortable. The insole is well padded. They almost feel like slippers! I sized down based on advice in other reviews and I'm glad I did! They do run large. I still have some room despite the smaller size. There is no arch support in these, but they don't hurt my feet. I got the black ones and the only downside I see is that the black dye rubs off on my socks a little.

I love my boots and I wear them whenever I can. They're very comfortable and can be dressed up or dressed down easily.

I think these are the comfiest shoes I own! I love wearing them under jeans. I did make sure to waterproof them when I got them, and would recommend others to do the same.

I love this moccasin ankle boot. The gray color is awesome. They are comfy and look really cute. I like them so much that I got a similar pair in black.

I originally ordered these shoes in my normal size 7. I returned them for a smaller size 6 because they felt large in my normal size. So I would suggest getting a size smaller than whatever you normally wear. Zappos was very helpful is getting me the smaller size the very next day and making it super easy!

I ordered these shoes in brown in a size 8. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 in sneakers and flats and a 9 in heels. My feet are of average width. I fell in love with these shoes after seeing them on the zappos site and the sale price furthered my desire to go ahead and order them. They arrived at my house in less than 24 hours with no shipping fee. I love you zappos! You have the best service around! Now, about the shoes. The color and style are amazing, very bohemian chic, as many people have mentioned. Everyone said to size down when you order, so I went ahead with the 8. I was a little nervous that they were feeling too small, but I have been wearing them around the house in thin socks and they are stretching and shaping to my foot quite nicely. They feel very comfy and will look great with skinny jeans, shorts, dresses, etc. If you're on the fence about buying them, I recommend doing it! They are super cute and the price cannot be beat. If you have wider feet or like to wear thicker socks, maybe the 9 would work for you. Overall I am super happy with my purchase and look forward to sporting these around town. Thanks zappos!

These boots are so comfortable and soft. These boots could go with any outfit. :) I'm so happy I got these boots!

This is the 2nd pair I've ordered these, this time as a gift. They are true to size, very comfortable and easy to clean. Minnetonka's are of very high quality and these are exceptional.

I found the shoe to be as comfortable as a house slipper, and wear it most everywhere!

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. They run large and I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8, and I bought a 7. Wonderful shoe for fall/winter.

I hated that I had to return them. I think they run a little short; I am usually a true 8, which I ordered, but the stitching on the top was uncomfortable. I own other Minnetonkas and absolutely love them.

Got them the next day! Love them! I wear a size 10 and I ordered a size 10! Cute shoe!

I love these boots! They are as comfortable as slippers but warm enough to wear outside as well. I have narrow feet and these are a perfect fit. I wear a 7½ in the moccasins, but the 7 in the boots fits comfortably, even with thick socks.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable and cool-looking. I have weirdo narrow feet and ankles plus muscle pain from a running injury, so comfortable shoes that stay on my feet and don't slip off are important. I like wearing these with leggings and a tunic or big shirt.
