Another great company that puts profit and sales ahead of quality and it's a shame. Minnetonka used to make some great taunts in the US. They lasted for years, cost a little more and were worth it. Now they've gone the way of Timberland and others - moccasins from the Dominican Republic, terrible leather, uncomfortable, no quality control. I would pay three times as much for a pair of quality moccasins - why not? Do these companies understand that? Make a quality product, charge more for it, customers will overwhelm you and you will win back your reputation. Keep up the cheap junk and your reputation will end up right where it belongs. My next stop will be LL Bean - I hope they don't sell out either.
