🦌 Classic Natural Moose Men's Loafers & Slip-Ons by Minnetonka Moosehide Review

Moccasins aren't your typical hard-soled, flat-heeled shoes with built-in arch support, but they're much more than slippers. Worn by Native Americans and settlers for thousands of years, moccasins provide effective foot protection by allowing your feet to feel the ground beneath their feet. I wear them indoors and outdoors but usually not outside the house to avoid wearing out the soles on the sidewalk and similar hard rough surfaces under my feet. These Minnetonka moccasins have a semi-rigid…

The quality of Minnetonka moccasins has definitely deteriorated. As a long time buyer of this particular model I figured they would last me another 2-4 years like the others. NO. The laces broke after 2 months but I emailed support and they quickly sent me a replacement. I was hooked until I realized the hassle of changing laces. I tried unsuccessfully to thread the lace through all sorts of devices in hopes that I could get it back into the boot. Then, after 5 months of ownership, the sole…

Like many other reviewers, I've been wearing the Classics for years, 15 years in my case. I'm also amazed at how the quality has deteriorated in recent years. I just threw away my current pair after less than a year. The previous pair lasted about 15 months. I thought I'd give Minnetonka one last chance since I thought at the time that maybe they had bottomed out and were about to turn around like some other shoe companies had. Bad idea. The leather on these loafers gets thinner with every…

Minnetonka Moosehide Classic Loafers, Chocolate Moose, 11M USA My husband has purchased these loafers at least 3 times in the 34 years of our marriage. The first pair seemed to last forever compared to the last two which both fell apart on the fingers (this happened to both moccasins of each pair). While the second pair lasted less than 4 years, the pair we last bought through Revain in October 2017 broke up in May 2018 meaning it only lasted 8 months. I was told at a shoe shop today that the…

Rawhide shoelaces broke the second time I put them on. I didn't do anything particularly tiring in it, just walked from the bedroom to the kitchen and back a few times, etc. I never left the house, let alone the basement or garage. They weren't tight either. I was out walking and the laces snapped. I've read other reviews about the drop in quality and this leads me to believe this is true. For the price paid for these shoes I never expected such a simple but important problem right after the…

I bought my first pair in the Poconos of Pennsylvania about 12 years ago. Excellent quality, comfort and fit. I've been wearing them for 12 years and eventually the stitching came undone due to healing on my left boot. So I decided to buy it again. Well, like many other great products, they have given way to cheaper versions. My original pair had thicker leather, better inner padding, and a better sole. Also, the new pair is a size 11, the left one fit well but the right one was a bit big. No…
