Minnetonkas

Flyby, I have never owned Minnetonkas. They sound wonderful. I hope that you can find them on clearance. Good luck!

flyby2, I love Minnetonkas, you can find them on the web from Minnetonka directly.  I don’t know if their prices will be any better, but it’s worth a try.  Good luck.:smileyhappy:

This is my all time favorite Minnetonka, I’ve been wearing them since the early 1970’s.  Not the same pair, of course, but they do last forever.:smileyhappy:

I love Minnetonkas!  I currently have 2 pairs,  gray and white  (like Pookie’so picture).  I need to replace one pair soon.  They are so comfortable and last for years without babying them.  I don’t think the traditional styles ever go on sale anywhere.   The prices have remained pretty much the same, give or take $5.00, for the last 20 years.

Thanks for reminding me about Minnetonkas!  They are CLASSIC.  :heart:  I am going to order the Minnetonka El Paso II Suede Fringe Moccasin. It will be my first pair ever.  

What do u think?  I wear a lot of black and am not matchy-matchy.  Do they run true to size?  Will I need to care for them a special way?  

Unfortunately, Minnetonkas are a restricted brand, meaning u cannot use coupons on them!  :smileymad:

I enjoyed the presentation with Helen Keaney.

I think I’m going to buy a pair. Thanks for all the info everyone!

I’m always wanting navy blue casual shoes, so #487-875 would be perfect for me…but they’re out of my size in navy.  (shoot).

I’ll wait & see if they get more in.

Personally, I can’t stand Minnetonka footwear… way too expensive and, with zero cushioning, not worth the price. You can get them over at QVC… they often have them on-sale and with flex-pay.

I found a pair here at HSN last year, but they were sold-out in my size, so, I went over to the Q and they had them too, (so did Amazon, by the way!). Same brand, same model. Alas, when I got them, they were so uncomfortable, I was shocked at the utter lack of cushioning. Couldn’t send them back fast enough.

So far, I’ve found the Lamo and BareTraps brands at the Q very cushy…

Also, Dawgs over at Evine…  

And, 143 Girls over at JCP…

Minnetonkas have gone up in price no matter where you purchase them. They are made well and do last long. My only problem is that I have a wide food and they only sell medium width. I’m hoping that the suede will stretch to accommodate my foot.  FYI, I priced some similar moccasins at a reputable ladies store and the moccasins were way more expensive than the Minnetonkas. If you need cushioning, there are always inserts that you can put in them.

I ordered the moccasins and can’t wait for them to come.

I like Minnetonkas, but unfortunately, I have a wide foot and they don’t make them to fit me. But as for the prices, they are comparable even on Amazon, I checked. They might be a few dollars less, but by in by not much difference in price. Besides you get what you pay for and Minnetonkas are made very well. If you want extra padding, just add an insert.

If you go to the Minnentonka website you’ll find a collaboration with Rebecca Minkoff for several styles.  You can buy directly from the website too.

Enjoy, ladies.  I’ll stick with I have for this year.  Not buying any footwear um, er, welllll.  No…I’m not.  LOL.

I remember buying the classic Mocs in 1979….. I stopped buying them in the 90’s because….I just did. Never tried the boots. I’m glad to see they’re still around as SO many companies have gone under since my youth.

I just received my Minnetonka El Paso II Suede Fringe Moccasins in a size 6.  They are HUGE, more like a 7!  The CS rep told me to get a 6 when I inquired about sizing.  

They look better online than they do in person, anyways.  Back they go!!  

I have had to return a lot lately, and I know that counts against me, but things just aren’t meeting my expectations.  :smileyfrustrated:

I just put in my Minnetonka order.

I was disappointed the current coupons would not work on them.
