Review: Best boots ever. - Beautiful. This is my third pair of Minnetonka boots. I have a brown pair, a tan pair and now these in black. In trainers I wear an 8 1/2 wide. In these boots I always order a size 10 and they fit perfect. I always get lots of compliments on them and they handle my foot swelling and shrinkage like a second skin. My first pair I got over ten years ago and they still look fabulous. Great for church, cosplay, rock concerts and everyday. Great value for the money. No smell I’ve ever noticed except the smell of leather.
Review: Love them! - So far, these boots have been everything I was expecting. I've been trying to wear minimalist style shoes and I spent the summer/fall wearing Soft Star mocs. With winter on the horizon, I knew I would need shoes that were warmer and that wouldn't take so long to dry if they got wet (my mocs take ~3 days because of the sheepskin lining). Having had a roommate with similar boots, I chose these. Having worn no shoes/moccasins for ~6 months, my toes have a spread out. Even so, the toe box of these boots is more than wide enough for me. The color matched the picture very closely and the sizing was perfect. They are absolutely comfortable. I had my doubts about the insole, and I'm still not sure I like it. It's nothing special, just extra cushioning. What I like least about it is the slight slipperiness. I sometimes feel my foot slide if I'm walking on inclines. I imagine it would be worse with socks, but I haven't tried yet. I was a little conscious of the nubbed sole for the first day, but I hardly notice it anymore. The sole is fairly thin and very flexible. The ground feel is definitely nowhere near that of my mocs but I still think that there is a good amount. I can easily tell what kind of surface I'm walking on, I can feel it when I step on objects, and I like the traction. The boots are definitely comfortable. Being a fencer, I have asymmetrically muscled legs, but these boots fit like a glove. I sprayed them with Camp Dry right out of the box and I highly recommend everyone do the same. I've been able to wear these boots out in a true downpour (thanks to Hurricane Sandy) and there was no moisture penetration except through the seams. I've heard of people lining their shoes with duct tape on the inside of the seams, but I'll wait until I see how they do in snow first. The seams are a little uncomfortable. I suspect that this is due to the unevenness of the seams because there are only two spots where I have problems and they don't happen on both boots. One is on the outer edge of my right foot, the seam pokes my foot just below the pinky toe. The seams are stiff and ridged because of the stitching so I'm hoping that with time the leather will soften. On the left boot - and I think someone else mentioned they had this happen - the back ankle seam rubs the back of my ankle when I walk. It wasn't enough to cause blistering, and I mention it only because I was able to come up with a solution. If this happens to you, you can put a little piece of duct tape on the boot where it rubs and it won't irritate the skin anymore - yay! The only negative thing I have to say is that not all of the lace holes were punched and not all of them were lined up. From a manufacturing perspective, they were right to punch the holes before assembling the boots, but they should have some kind of quality control to ensure the holes line up and that all the holes are punched. Anyways, it was easy to fix. Get yourself an exacto knife (the sharper, the better) and cut out little circles. Don't try to punch through (unless you have an awl); that's bad for the leather, it will be a pain to get your lace through, and you'll wear through your laces faster. One final thing - before buying these boots, I read a lot of reviews which said it takes 10+ minutes to get them on. Um, NO. Loosen the laces when you take them off and you will be able to easily slip them on the next time. I wear my jeans with these and it only takes me 1 minute, MAX, to slip these on and that's only because I'm picky about how the laces hang. There are a million +1 tips online about tucking jeans into your boots - read a couple and save yourself some time. Hope this helps! Happy shoe-picking!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you wear the softsole boots outdoors?**
A: Softsoles, by their very nature of lacking a more structured rubber sole, are more suited for use as indoor shoes. Without rubber soles, softsole moccasins are ill-suited to be worn outdoors on concrete and pavement.

**Q: If I'm a half size, 8.5, would you recommend a size 9?**
A: We would recommend sizing up in our boot styles.

**Q: The fringes on my boots rolled up. How do i flatten them again?**
A: Pease view our Product Care page on our website where there's a video and more information on how to flatten out your fringe boots!

**Q: Where are these imported from?**
A: Produced in our company-owned factory in the Dominican Republic. You may be interested in learning about our manufacturing, kindly visit our website!

**Q: Can these be washed in the washing machine?**
A: We do not recommend putting it into your washer and/or dryer as this may cause damage to them. Please view our tips and tricks for product care and cleaning on the Product Care page at our website!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect, boot will adjust to your feet
*by B***Y on February 19, 2016*

I have had similar Minnetonka boots last couple years, they didn't have the ridges on the soles like these and were a size 10 which eventually started to fit like a size 14 lol. I prefer the flat sole on these because these soles make the shoe feel extremely narrow and off balance also twigs and things getting stuck under there, but everyone is different. These boots are extremely narrow in the sole, tight and uncomfortable. At first they have a strong scent. They are suede and will adjust to your feet very much like moccasins the Natives wore. My feet measure 10.5 inches long and are narrow so I went with a size 9 this time around(I usually wear a size 10). I am in the process of returning them for a size 10 in a flat sole style and in mens for that is all that is available (size 8 men's my preference). And yes my feet are in real pain with the 9s but I am positive the 10s will be easier for my feet to accustom to. The suede on these boots soften up with more wear. I hate them when they come out of the box but I have learned to love them as they form to my feet. They are supposed to fit tight at first but with enough space to adjust to your feet. Breaking them is simple, they become softer with wear and I never take them off especially in the spring summer and fall so that comes effortlessly. I live outside, these prevent my legs from getting attacked by prickers when hiking through them and tree sap. It's like wearing almost nothing on my feet and I DISLIKE SHOES A LOT so these are very helpful for protection and basically feeling the ground through the boots as I climb trees etc. They are great for every occasion so I am still fashionable even tho my days and nights are spent in the forest but when I have to dress up or go to a funeral they are still looking good. Sometimes with a little wipe down ;) I am really hoping the exchange goes smoothly and can't wait for my size 10, smooth soles to arrive. Pair these with a good water repellent spray inside and out and these boots are perfect for everyday even when you lose balance and fall into a swamp.
