Minnetonka Boots are some of the cutest types of womens fashion boots you can find and they compliment anyone who has a casual-boho-hippie style. These moccasin boots aren't as snuggly as UGGs, but at least you can wear them for spring without looking ridiculous!

Hot Pick Among Celebrity Fashionistas

These American-made boots have been adorning the feet of Hollywood stars, Victoria Secret babes to even celebrity babies, from Vanessa Hudgens to Sienna Miller, Kate Moss to Rachel Bilson.

Kate Moss is an example of someone who has been wearing the moccasin boots for many years regardless of how 'hot' they are for the season. She is definitely not a slave for fashion because she likes creating her own style.

I think the main reason why celebs are favoring these moccasin boots is that they look good and feel good. And because these boots are very lightweight compared to UGG boots, it allows you to wear them in any season!

Pros About Minnetonka Boots

Minnetonka has been making footwear and shaping moccasin shoes reputation for over 60 years. They make some of the comfortable and stylish moccasins from the best glove tan leather.

Here are the reasons why I think moccasin boots are some of the best footwear out there:

    Minikiss icon Comfortable: The way Minnetonka has constructed the insole is awesome. The insole itself is made of cushioned material and even if you plan to spend

    all day wearing them your feet will not get tired or ache. They simply don't feel like normal boots at all.

    Minikiss icon Trendy: They're eye catching! Many of the styles have layers with fringes (such as the 'Calf Hi Fringe' spotted on Rachel Bilson) but you can also find simple moccasin boots that are versatile enough to go with everything.

    Minikiss icon Inexpensive: Almost all of their fringed boots come in at around $100, so if you order a pair you'll still have some money to invest in the perfect pair of skinny leg jeans to tuck into them.

    Minikiss icon Variety of styles: They come in a variety of styles, from knee high to short ankle boots, basic designs to styles embellished with braids, metal accents, faux fur or fringes.


Retire From Your UGG Boots

You might receive some remarks on being a 'Pochahontas' when wearing these moccasin boots, but heck they're so cute and trendy! Besides, Pochahontas was gorgeous and the fringe details will give your outfit a whole new exotic and laid-back vibe to it. They also don't make your feet look big compared to most UGGS.

Perfect for Spring and Fall Transition

They look fabulous for Spring; with a pair of denim shorts, a long flow tunic dress and even a casual mini skirt! An example is the Hi Calf Minnetonkas without fringes. It will transition well into Fall with a denim jacket, sweater dress, leggings and grey skinny jeans.

Types of Minnetonka Boots for Winter

If you want a pair that will stand snow and icy cold weather, you might want to try their Sheepskin Pug Boot which is thicker.

They remind you of UGG boots but I personally think they're better because they're cuter and feature the wonderful assets of moccasin shoes.

Sheepskin Cuff Boot is also another example of great womens winter boots, featuring faux fur details at collar, vamp and heel counter.

The Right Ways to Wear Moccasin Boots

You can wear them with almost anything. From skinny jeans, bare legs to tights. Anything casual because the style compliments the look.

However Minnetonka offers a wide range of moccasin boot styles, and not every style will flatter everyone. So to save money and time, always keep your body figure and height in mind when buying a pair of Minnetonka boots.


fashion tip Note: A common mistake many petites and women with muscular legs do when it comes to womens fashion boots or shoes in general is to pair them with a contrasting color. Like for example: Cream/off-white Minnetonka ankle boots with a dark colored bottom. This will cut your figure and legs in half.


Guidelines to selecting your best pair of Minnetonka boots:

  • If you're short (around 5'4 or below) you'll notice how they tend to drag down and even overshadow your petite figure. Basically, if you're short you should choose a pair that is sleeker with less frill and fringes to avoid over empowering your short stature.
  • The less frill the boots have the versatile they are. Because when they're simpler looking you'll be able to wear them with anything, even a floral dress. So if you want to look decent in an outfit with moccasins, then do not buy the ones 3 or 5 layered fringes.

    fashion tip Tip: Have in mind that laced up Minnetonka boots take a longer time to put on!
