This is the second time I have bought Minnetonka moccasins in this style. They are very well made, stylish and very comfortable after a short period of getting used to them. The outsole offers good slip resistance when walking on smooth surfaces. In addition, the sole provides good cushioning and increased weather protection for short walks outdoors. I also like that the sole is designed to protect the toes and heels of the moccasins. My current pair are almost 5 years old and still very wearable. However, they are showing their age, which means it's time to replace the kit. I have to say that they are very neat and I wear them several times a day. In my opinion, elk fur is more comfortable and lasts longer than other skins. I also like that these loafers don't have a fluffy lining that breaks down over time, gets dirty and can cause the shoe to lose its fit. Finally, look closely at the stitching on these moccasins to see how well finished they are. Thanks to this and good workmanship, moccasins not only look good, they also hold up well.
