Customer Reviews Minnetonka Boat Moc

The aqua color of this shoe is really great -- neither too green nor too blue, but a vivid, clear true aqua. Absolutely perfect for spring and summer. The leather is extremely soft and supple. I'm marking them as true to size, with the caveat that they do fit a bit snugly out of the box. However, having worn Minnetonkas before and based on the material, I'm confident they will stretch; and even if they didn't, it's not an uncomfortable snug by any means (no pinching or anything like that). If you flit between sizes, however, I would say to order up as opposed to down. The reason I'm giving them four stars instead of five: first, they are a bit wide. Not unwearably so, and they don't gape excessively -- but there is a small amount of gaping on the sides, and I think they would fit/look better if they were a little narrower. For reference, my feet are medium width to maybe a little narrow, but I don't wear Narrow shoes or anything like that. Also, and this is either an odd quality control issue, or an equally as odd styling choice: the laces are uneven in length. Like, very noticeably so. The lace on the left shoe is extremely short; it doesn't even reach out past the stitching on the vamp. On the contrary, the lace on the right shoe reaches a solid inch or two beyond the vamp and nearly hangs down to the outsole. This is with the laces tied in equal-sized loops. I am likely going to trim the longer lace to match the shorter one, but as a whole this was a very weird issue to me. It may very well be just a fluke, but in case it's a random styling choice on Minnetonka's part, just thought I'd mention it, because I was quite perplexed at first trying to figure out what was "wrong" with the shoes before noticing the massive difference in lace length. All in all, though, I really like these shoes. They're comfortable, a great color, and feel wonderful on the feet. I'm very blister-prone but these fit so nicely without any chafing or rubbing whatsoever that I have no fear of blisters with them...and they're pretty dang cute, too!

Great shoe. Soft comfortable fit. I am either a 7.5 or an 8 and I went with the 7.5 because they stretch out with wear.

I ordered the brown boat shoes because they where on sale. I can not tell the difference between the "boat shoes" and the regular mocs. It seems to be the same. The first thing I noticed how soft the leather is. I thought it would be a bit more rough and would need to be worn to feel comfortable. Very comfortable from just even the first try on. I like that the bottoms are rubber for a good grip while walking. I'm a size 6M and these feel very true to size. Glad I purchased them!

Love these mocs. They are my third pair. They stretch out on the sides a bit. All in all very comfortable, and reasonably priced.

These shoes are perfect in every way and were exactly what I had been looking for but thought I would never find.

These were the very first moccasins I ever owned, and boy, was I missing out! These Minnetonka boat moccasins were comfortable right out of the box, and the color is so cheery and makes me happy every time I look at my feet! I definitely feel light as a feather when wearing them, and cute as a button! By the way, I had also ordered the yellow pair, but it was a schoolbus yellow that was just too vibrant and "Hey! Look at me!" for my tastes, so I sent them back. If you have darker skintone, you'd probably love how the color flatters your skin. I am pale, so the yellow was not pretty on me. I sent them back, but still love the shoe!

Love these, will try a half size smaller next time. The leather is very soft, boat sole is not as sturdy as the "Thunderbird" style which would explain my need for inserts. Overall, great quality, great value plus pretty pink color adding a pop of fun to almost any outfit...perfect shoes for business casual to shorts and tee shirt offering great versatility.

This is my 8th pair of Minnetonkas. I tried 2 pairs of sneaks and had to send them back. Zappos is great for ordering and returns. The leather in these shoes is very soft. After you wear them a little bit they feel like they "mold" to your feet. I am on my feet all day at work. All I wear are my Minnetonkas. They are like wearing slippers. I am 62 so it is nice to have comfortable shoes that still look nice.

I **LOVE** these boat mocs! Very comfortable, easy to slip on and go, easy to clean. (I already managed to splash tomato sauce on them while I was cooking the other day. I didn't realize it until later, but once I did, they cleaned right up, just like new!) I'm a fan! For sizes, I'm usually between an 8.5 and 9 depending on shoe style. I ordered these in an 8.5 and at first thought they might be a *smidge* too short in toe, but within a couple days, the leather eased up and they truly are a perfect fit now. The leather is quite soft, but still supportive. I have narrow feet but the leather ties can be tightened to help with that. Also have high arches and for that I guess I'll have to find inserts to help with that issue. There is very little arch support, IMO, in this moc. I plan on ordering a second pair I like these so much.

These boat moccasins are very cute and comfortable. I wear them almost daily. They are a great price for good quality shoes, with really nice, soft leather. As always, Zappos shipped them very quickly, so I continue to be a happy customer.

I love Minnetonka mocs because they are so comfortable. They are like slippers. They are not a shoe I would want to walk long distances in because they have no support. Got these for the color and love it. Look cute with shorts or jeans, etc. Very happy with them.

These are the most comfortable shoes I ever purchased. I have a long walk to the subway from my apartment every morning and needed some comfy shoes and these are PERFECT! Also, I was concerned that they might get smelly after a while (because most closed shoes do in the summer) but they still just smell like leather, thank God.

These shoes are wonderful; however, my feet are not wonderful and I really wanted to keep these shoes, but until I have foot surgery there is no way I can wear them. Give them a try - I know you will like them!

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. I wear a size 5 and have really narrow and flat feet so I'm always wary about ordering shoes online, but these were the best online purchase I've made. These are literally the most comfortable shoes I own and I am looking forward to wearing them on my trip to Hong Kong this summer. The material is very soft and flexible and there is a lot of padded cushioning on the sole.

Buttery-soft leather, cute look. Feels like wearing a sturdy, outdoor-ready slipper. My feet are smallish, with a wide bridge, short toes about the same length, a high arch, and very narrow heels. This shoe worked for me, but I think it's the kind of shoe that will accommodate many foot shapes. I got these in size 5, in white and yellow. Only reason I returned the yellow pair is that they made my ankles and legs look pasty white in contrast. It's a very bright yellow - I would recommend this yellow for people with tan to dark skin with warm undertones.

Zappos is amazing. I ordered these shoes for my mother on a Sunday. They arrived on a Tuesday! She called me with uncontainable excitement at the comfort, color and fit of these shoes. I've been a Zappos devotee for many years, but the speed at which these were sent and how much my mother loved the shoes solidified my love for the company. Zappos made me look good...so I'm indebted.

Bought these last year, wanted something different than the Fryes that I had purchased was slightly afraid that these wouldn't be comfortable but these are wonderful, can't beat the quality definitely for the price and holding up better that ones that cost three times as much.

This is the same brand and same style as the red pair I bought at the same time but these are wider.

I wear them all the time! I was a little worried that they would be ruined once they got a little dirty, but the leather seems to be one that is easily cleaned (even though I haven't tried). But, even better, they look fine a little dingy! Very nice quality, I think.

Extremely comfortable as with all Minnetonka flats. These fit 1/2 size smaller than the Minnetonka Suede Kilty mocs, but do stretch out fairly quickly with wear. They do make my feet look wide, but I wear them as commuting shoes, and will deal with wide looking feet for comfort. Great spring color!

I loved these straight out of the box. The leather is completely supple but the shoe still holds it's structure. The pink color, while not subtle, is trendy. I really like where it hits on the top of the foot - some boat shoes look too bulky on the top. I definitely want to buy this in other colors.

Great fit for me - I ordered my normal size 6, but I can see how they may be narrow for people with wide feet. I got the white. My feet didn't sweat and they are so comfy! I'm going to get another color. I hope they don't stretch because the 6 are perfect right now.

I am so glad that I ordered these. They were comfortable right out of the box. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly. I bought them for a vacation. I did a lot of walking and they were comfortable the entire time. I am 54 and have a hard time finding shoes that do not need to be broken in. These are a nice soft leather and there is some arch support. It is so much nicer than wearing flip-flops around. I wore them without socks. I may need to get another pair in another color. I love Minnetonka Moccasins.

Fun and stylish casual shoe. Was super soft which made it look and feel more like a house shoe or slipper. Very comfortable though.
