Minnetonka Moccasins
There is a company called Minnetonka that makes genuine moccasin shoes of all styles and sizes. There are slip on shoes, tie shoes, moccasin boots, and slippers. These shoes are made of the best quality suede, moose hide, shearling and deerskin you can find. The shoes are sometimes decorated with Native American markings and sometimes they are plain. This style of shoe is comfortable, casual, and authentic. The brand and the designs associated with it are recognized all over the world.
One style that is quite popular and that has bled over into mainstream fashion is the sheepskin slipper boots. Slipper boots were made popular by the company Ugg and are a style of shoe that combine attributes of both slippers and boots. They are soft on the inside and often made of soft and flexible materials like sheepskin or suede. The sole, however, is usually somewhat hard to allow the wearer to take the shoes outside. Minnetonka sheepskin slipper boots have a cushioned rubber sole that is comfortable but still durable enough to allow you to wear the shoes outside.
The shoe made by Minnetonka is a slip on shoe that rises up to the ankle. There is a few inches of shoe that can either be folded down so just the bottom of the ankle is covered, or flipped up so that the entire ankle and lower calf is covered. The shoe is lined with wool and is extremely warm. Some might keep the ankle fabric rolled down in warmer weather and up in colder weather to help keep their feet warm.
One difference between Minnetonka shoes and some other popular skipper boot brands is that the Minnetonka shoes come in natural colors like soft tan for the sheepskin ankle boot. Other companies dye their fabrics so that there are a wide variety of colors available, but they look less natural and authentic.
