Minnetonka Herren Classicdriver Mokassin

Very pleased with all aspects: materials, finish, colour, function, and they fit better than expected.

Bought them for dad as a gift - very pleased!!!

Excellent - well made and delivered on time.

Misure un po' piccole e si sente la mancanza di una fodera interna che consenta al piede di scivolare meglio al momento di calzare il mocassino

Gefällt mir nicht so gut-sehr hartes Leder Minnetanke hat mir früher besser gefallen und ich habe sie sehr gut gemocht.

[Updated 7/6/2013 - I bumped up my review from a 3 to a 4, and have changed the title from NOT an all the time shoe to MAYBE an all the time shoe. I'm still wearing these shoes, surprisingly, and they lasted a good bit longer and with harder wear than I expected after 3 months - I figured that if they were going to go, I might as well go for broke, and they're still very comfortable and reliable. I even have taken some long walks (not hikes) in them and they've done OK. The all-leather-and-nub sole HAS worn down - the only nubs left are at the arch of my foot, and I got a hole in the toe of one shoe that's not noticeable at all. But it still feels good, for those guys looking for a comfortable shoe. I still like using these as my go-to shoe, as long as it's dry weather... But come the rainy fall, I'm going to need a new pair after about 15 months of near-daily wear. I'd say the selling point after this time is that the leather is very very supple and still strong and looking good (I'm told I'm wearing dress shoes sometimes), and the sole, though nubs have gone, is supported by a fairly cushy sole-esque insert that does a great job at support.]5/12/2013I was looking for a shoe I could essentially live in March through October, and I've relied on either moccasins or boat shoes for that for about the last decade. Usually, knowing I'm going to just wear them to death, I get the cheapest I could, but I had a particularly unpleasant last go around - I wanted quality this time. A friend heartily recommended that I try Minnetonka, a leading brand in the moccasin world. Overall, I'd buy another pair of Minnetonka's, but these soles [the driving moccasin] won't do the job for an every day shoe.I like the construction of this shoe quite a bit - the leather came supple but stiff, and wore into my foot in about a week, and now fits like a dream, as an all leather shoe should. The leather insert is comfortable and has a noticeable cushion to it I'm not used to. The shoe fits snugly, which I enjoy - previous moccasins or boat shoes tended to flop on my foot more like full-cover flip flops than a full shoe, so this is great. As far as fit, I benefited from other reviews here and knowing I have an average-small width, I got my regular shoe size and it fit almost too snug until it wore in (again, a week), and then perfect.The real weak point of this shoe is the sole [or selling point, depending on your use]. The 'lots of little nubs' construction gave me a real flexibility, let me feel the ground in ways that my foot normally associates with barefoot, and still gave me traction when I needed it. All that was good. Unfortunately, I found that in even a month of wear, the nubs in the crucial areas are mostly gone, and the leather underneath is showing wear. After taking it to my shoe repair guy, he said, 'Only a matter of time - these just won't hold up to anything but carpet, and the car I guess.' Overall, I'd agree. If this was a weekend shoe for me, then perhaps I could swing it, but I wanted to wear this to work, where I do minor walking around a carpeted office and sit at a desk, then drive to schools and homes visiting families and children, so walking on driveways and laminate floors. It wasn't as though I was going hiking.I really like the Minnetonka shoe, but I'm going for the full-soled version moccasin next time. I'm also heartily considering heading over to LL Bean and getting their boat moccasin, similar in design and quality, I hear, and then I won't worry about being stuck with a shoe that's $60 and sole-less in three months.
