Before I bought my loafers, I did a lot of research and read reviews. A lot of the reviews I read about this product were really misleading; and I don't mean good reviews. Here's what I mean: When I first got the idea of buying moccasins, Minnetonka was the first brand that came to mind. I have always believed that the quality of this company's products is excellent and the craftsmanship impeccable. Quite a few bad reviews I've read trying to convince me that the quality control has really dropped. This is not my experience at all! The loafers I received are beautiful, well made with quality materials and great care. The moccasins have even been reinforced to keep their shape in the box! These loafers meet the quality standards I've always come to expect from Minnetonka. I couldn't be happier! Now for the reason I took the time to write this review; Read the reviews but definitely don't believe everything you read! Why people would take the time to undermine the solid reputation this company has built up over decades is beyond me. It's just sad to see that they are. I'm so glad I proceeded with my purchase. I am very satisfied with the product and the seller! I was not approved, not compensated and not even asked to write this review. I wrote this review for you guys like me who like me spend time reading reviews. You deserve to know the truth! And this legendary company doesn't deserve to be humiliated. I just thought you should kmow!
