Minnetonka Moccasins

Top Minnetonka Moccasin Boots and Shoes

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Lately footwear styles originating from other eras and cultures have been making big waves in the fashion world. From mukluks to moccasins, there's a trend in casual shoes toward the "earthy." When this style is combined with vivid, contemporary colors, as is the case with many of these Minnetonka Moccasin shoes, it really makes a fashion statement.

1. Minnetonka Boots - Classic 'Front Lace Hardsole Knee-Hi'

When you think of fringe boots, it's quite possible that these definitive boots are the ones that spring to mind. With flat heels, full lace fronts and very tall shafts, these classics come in black or brown, and are perfect for pairing with skinny jeans and casual skirts.

2. Minnetonka '3-Layer' Fringe Boots

Of all the Minnetonka boots to love, these are probably my all-time favorites. They have three layers of shaggy fringe and 12" mid-calf shafts. I bought a pair of these a few years ago in lime green -- sadly, they're now only available in black and brown. The good news is, those shades are far more versatile.

3. Minnetonka 'New Silverthorne' Winter Boot

For cold weather, you're going to need something a bit more substantial -- and these winter boots might do the trick. With suede and leather uppers, and plenty of faux fur trim, these Minnetonka boots are cute, as well as practical, and surprisingly, there's not a strand of fringe to be found.

4. Minnetonka 'Peace Sign' Moccasins

A lot of people know Minnetonka because of their moccasins -- which makes sense. I mean, they put the word right in their name. They've had a lot of different moccasin styles to love over the years, but the "Peace Sign" is one of my favorites. As you might have guessed, these casual shoes have a studded peace sign right on their vamps, as well as their requisite tassel and fringe detailing.

5. Minnetonka 'Woodstock' Short Fringed Boots

If you prefer your fringe on a shorter boot, you'll want to have a look at these cute mid-calf boots from Minnetonka. As well as having fringe on their collars, these boots have it on their sides too. Throw in a couple of beads on their tassels, and you've got the perfect casual accessory for skinny jeans. Available black, brown, tan, and dusty brown.
