Minnetonka

Moccasins are the truly first American shoe. They were invented long before Europe’s arrival to America by Native Americans to keep warm in the winter, and to suppress noise for the hunters. Minnetonka started manufacturing their classic Native American moccasins in 1946. After World War II Americans wanted to reconnect with their country and they went on road trips all over the country, often stopping in souvenir shops, and coming across Minnetonka moccasins. And that is how they were brought into mainstream American fashion. Since then, Minnetonkas have become a staple item in the shoe industry. With their crisp style, and beautiful designs they have managed to remain hot while staying completely true to their original moccasins. From their boots, to their classic moccasins, the Minnetonkas we wear today, are essentially the same as that first  American shoe. They come in many styles ranging from boots, to flats to slippers and it a very big array of colors. Minnetonka is one of the very few brands in the industry that has achieved what it has – to remain completely true to their original designs and remain successful. Today Minnetonka moccasins are worn all over the world by people looking for a casual, laid back, comfortable style.
