Minnetonka Men's Original Cowhide Driving Moccasin

Just an FYI that they run a little narrow but like all moccasins the leather stretches and conforms to your foot as you wear then. Minnetonka always makes quality moccasins which is why I keep buying them.

Simply the best...been wearing these same moccasins for 36 yrs.. absolutely love them

[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.

I am greatly pleased with my shoes ... a great selecion, price, and the purchasearrive within the stated delivery date ... highly recommend!

Shoes fit my foot so what more can I say?

Been wearing Minnetonka mocs for years. These are as good as they always are.

Slooooowly breaking them in. A wide fit or even normal would be nice. This is narrow and has to be eased into.And the sole nubbins squeak on any floor or carpet. Can’t sneak up on anyone anymore.

My son lives in these moccasins. They always look nice and really last!

Excellent - well made and delivered on time.

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

I am not impressed. When we buy online we rely on the details presented to make our decision. The high quality photos were a major factor in my decision to buy these as a gift. The marketing pictures are fake, they are a cherry picked sample that do not represent the quality I received. It's deceptive, I won't be ordering this brand again. As I am the same size as my friend, I thought if he doesn't like them or needs a different size, I will keep them for myself. That won't be happening. I don't have time to get him something else at this point, so we will see what happens. There is a high probability these are going back. They are made in the Dominican Republic. The attached photos are taken immediately out of the box.UPDATE: The other shoe is a lot better, I hadn't unwrapped it when I took the photo's. I am thinking the left one was made by someone with sausage fingers and poor eyesight. The right shoe is better, but still short of the expected quality. Notice how the brand logo is cheapl printed in on the inner sole? but the marketing photo shows it as embossed? It's like they found someone to copy it for less.I paid $90, which is why I expected the quality depicted. At $30 to $40 they are a 4 out of 5.

Ich habe mir diesen Schuh in der Größe 45 in der dunklen, stabilen Lederausführung vor ca. 2 Jahren gekauft. Der Grund dafür war die Tatsache, dass ich als Vielfahrer mit 80 - 100.000 km im Jahr immer meine Schuhe ramponierte.Mir hat der Schuh in der Größe 45 gut gepasst; Unterschiede in der Größe konnte ich nicht feststellen. Durch das stabile Leder gibt der Schuh nicht so schnell nach, die Gumminoppen auf der Sohle geben guten Halt auf den Pedalen. Zum Laufen über längere Strecken sollte man die Schuhe allerdings nicht benutzen, da sonst die Noppen durchdrücken.Nach 2 Jahren hat der Schuh zwar auch etwas gelitten, aber so schnell werde ich mich noch nicht davon trennen.Das nächste Paar wird aber sicher auch ein Minnetonka Driving Moc werden.

Serraje encerado, realmente muy cómodo y diferente. Ideal para usar con vaqueros.
