Customer Reviews Minnetonka Thunderbird II

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.

I love Minnetonka and have several pairs of their Kilty moc. I decided to try the Thunderbird II for a change. When I got them, I absolutely loved them. The beaded detail is really nice. However, this shoe is cut lower than the Kilty. I got an 8, which is what all my Kilty mocs are, but the 8 was too loose in the Thunderbird. I'm normally an 8 and 1/2 in other shoes, but I would have to size down to a 7 and 1/2 for these.

As other reviewers have commented, the sizing on these is way off. I wear a 9.5 and ended up with a size 8 in these moccasins. I'd advise buyers to order a few sizes and send back the ones that don't fit. Sizing issues aside, these are just okay. For the most part, they were comfortable, but there's a spot where the back of the moccasin painfully rubs my heel. I feel like I will be able to fix this with moleskin, but it's annoying. However, I like the style and feel the price is fair, so I'm going to keep these. Hopefully, these will break in.

I really like this shoe! It is soft and slipper like. Sometimes they make tired feet feel good. Although, they are soft sided and after wearing all day for two or three in a row, they can make your feet a little tired. They are nicely padded, but no real arch support. I did have to tighten the ties as much as I could because it is a little loose for narrower feet. All in all, I love them! and recommend them.

I really like these Minnetonka shoes. They are pretty comfortable and the grey looks good with everything.

I bought these in a half size smaller than my normal size based on the reviews I read. I'm glad that I did and probably could have gone down another half size. I have wide feet and they run a little narrow. The grey color is great and goes well with my jeans.

This run a whole size big. I wear an 11 and I swear the ones I have are at least a 12. Imagine my surprise that the shoe could be bigger than my feet!

So retro and so comfortable. Run full but I took my size. The laces come undone a lot.

Comfortable, cute, casual shoe. I felt it ran true to size, I normally wear 10 and the 9.5 was too small. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the style of this shoe, so I returned them. Maybe if I had ordered the correct size I would have felt differently, maybe not. They are cute, but I just wasn't sure they were for me.

This shoe is very cute and the suede is quite soft. They definitely run a bit large, both in length and width. I am usually an 8½, but I need to return and get the 8.

I love them with flared jeans! I thought people wouldn't like them but as soon as I wore them to school I got a ton of complements! They are so comfy (especially worn with socks). I would totally recommend them!

I absolutely love these shoes! They're so comfortable, yet have a sturdy sole (so that they're less like slippers). The beaded design also adds a nice touch!

I love these and plan on keeping mine but my right shoe feels slightly looser than my left. I am wearing socks with this so its not a big deal. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Very cute!

Although I kept these shoes (maybe for nostalgia -- I usta live in this style 30 years ago), they are quiet narrow and with NO arch support. But the suede is soft, supple, gorgeous - the beadwork classic, and the sole is very comfortable. I use them for around the house -- I could never stand in them all day. I've already stretched them out, they are SO narrow!

Super cute, but absolutely no arch support-which is expected from mocs. I put supports in and that made them much better. Really nice if you're just running to the store or getting gas and for sitting in class.

The shoes were pretty, but just too wide and large for me. I went down half a size, but they were still too large. The shoes also arrived in a plastic bag instead of a shoe box.

They were definitely bigger than I expected, but I had already exchanged them once. So I am putting inserts in them so I can wear them

Not wearing them

The leather was so soft, but the cut is so narrow. And the backs pop off of your heals, but if you try smaller size they're too short.

I followed the advice of reviewers who said they were too big and ordered a half size smaller. It might have fit except that the cord around the heel cut into my skin. They didn't look cute on me as I had hoped. I'm returning them also because I received the wrong color, but that's another story.

I used to have a few pairs of these mocs, as they were my favorites. However, I had to return this pair I ordered a few weeks ago. I didn't really expect any support but something hurt my foot on the bottom so back they went.

Nice easy slip on shoe for the warm weather. Not very durable but good for the summer. They run big. I got a size down and still have room. The laces don't stay tied though so be careful when walking. I cut them off and show fits the same.

Sadly, I must return this shoe. It's as cute as I thought it would be, but runs large as other reviewers said. I hoped that would mean that there would be room for an orthotic which would fix the "no support" problem also mentioned in other reviews. Even with an insert these wanted to fall off my (size 5) feet. Bye bye shoe. Never bye bye Zappos!
