These are so cute! After reading many of the reviews I was skeptical on sizing. I wear a 7, so I originally ordered a 6½. They fit well, but a little loose. I was afraid that they would stretch and be too big. So I immediately ordered a 6 and figured I would compare the two. The 6 fit a little snug, but after a few wearing I am sure they will be perfect. Because sizing seems to be an issue, I advise you to order multiple sizes, and see which works best and return the rest (since Zappos offers free returns!).

I love them! First, they said it would be delivered in 4-5 days, but it came in 3! When I got them, I was so excited. They fit perfectly and they're so soft and comfortable (I got mine in black). In my opinion, the price is worth it, especially since any genuine moccasin is hard to find.

The service here was amazing! I received my shoes the very next day. Everything was perfect, the size, the fit and I absolutely love my Minnetonkas. I've never had such great service. Thanks Zappos!

These moccasin shoes are cute and super comfy, but they run larger. Usually I wear size 7, so I've ordered for the same, and as it turned out, they run a half or even a size larger. So sad.

These mocs are super cute and comfy. They do run a little big so order a 1/2 size down.

They fit like a glove. I bought three more pair in different colors after trying them on. I was skeptical since they were so cheap but they are great shoes.

I normally wear a size 7, but had to return them for a 6.5, which fit perfectly. I love these shoes and will be wearing them all spring/summer!

Love the style and so comfy! They definitely run big and stretch, so order way small. I normally wear an 8 and after ordering 3 times, I ended up with a 6.5 which never ever happens. I'd say order a couple pairs and return one or at least order a full size down.

Love these; I wore these every summere as a kid! Width in the front is perfect, but instep and heel are a bit too wide. Have to return them, sadly!

Love these shoes! They are very cozy. I almost feel like I'm wearing my slippers around town. They did stretch quite a bit in the first week so I suggest ordering half a size smaller than your usual size.

Nice, soft leather and really comfy. They seem to run a little big. I usually wear an 8 and the 7 1/2 Is still roomy. Really like them.

Great shoe. I usually don't do well with wearing shoes with out socks, but these are great. They're cute, comfy, and light. I'd recommend this if you like the unique look of Minnetonkas and if you like a comfortable shoe.

I will start by saying that Zappos return services are awesome! I had to do three returns in order to get the right moccasins for me. All the other reviews are right, you will have to go half a size down (I'm normally a 10, I had to get 9 1/2). I have just starting wearing these out (after waterproofing of course) and they are starting to wear in. There is one spot in the front that kind of rubs me but I feel like if I wear them more it will wear itself out. I can tell already that these are going to be my summer shoes!

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. Soft, easy to walk in. Great for inside and out. Simple, I just love them. I agree with others in that buying a size down or the actual size is a good idea. I generally run at 8 (because of wide feet) but because these stretch to your feet, the 7.5 fits like a charm. I think I'll be wearing these for a long long time. And when they wear out, I'll replace them over and over.

The charcoal gray color and beading are lovely! Minnetonka moccasins are nostalgic for me, as I had soft-soled Thunderbirds for slippers as a kid. At first, I ordered a half-size down, based on customer reviews, but my toes hit the front end. When I exchanged them for an 8, my true size, they fit great. I normally wear a wide, so my toes do feel crowded in most medium-width shoes, but the soft leather of these moccasins is stretchy enough. I'll have to break them in a bit, as the cord is rubbing a bit on one heel, but the cord is adjustable, and I'm confident it will relax with wear. If you need a lot of arch support, you'll need an insole of some sort, but otherwise these are very comfortable shoes. Thank you to Zappos for your great customer service and stress-free exchanges!

I love how adorable these are but they are really narrow. Yes the suede stretches out but the hard cord that stitches the top on hits my foot at the narrowest point and is very hard and uncomfortable agains the bones of my foot. I also have a pair of the studded moccs from Minnetonka and while I think the cut is not as cute they are much more comfortable. If your feet are wide I'd go for a different style of Minnetonkas. Width of shoes is rarely a problem for me, but it is for this style.

Cute moccasins! Very well made, excellent quality. Though they are comfortable, they do not have very good arch support.

As a Minnesotan, I often sported Minnetonka Mocs as a child, so I snapped up this adorable grownup version recently. I get lots of compliments on them when I'm strolling around town. That being said, they are not the highest quality shoes you can purchase, although they are a good value for the money. The shoes run considerably larger than marked (I always wear a size 7, and I am sporting a size 5.5 in this shoe), and they stretch out quickly. I bought a pair for each of my bridesmaids, and all of them fit into a size 1-1.5 smaller than they normally wear.

Very cute comfortable shoe! I had a pair when I was a kid in the '80s and they are just as fun now as they were then! They definitely run big. I ordered my normal size (8) and they were huge. I decided to go down and whole size and try a 7 and they are snug, but comfortable. I'm fairly certain the suede will stretch a bit. I probably would have been good with the 7.5. I've seen these all over the place for fall, so get 'em while you can!

These are nicely made, but way too small. I have other Minnetonka Mocs in this size. What happened? I was really surprised. There is no arch support, but my previous pair with this sole molded nicely to my foot.
