Minnetonka Women's Front Lace Knee High Boots

I have had similar Minnetonka boots last couple years, they didn't have the ridges on the soles like these and were a size 10 which eventually started to fit like a size 14 lol. I prefer the flat sole on these because these soles make the shoe feel extremely narrow and off balance also twigs and things getting stuck under there, but everyone is different. These boots are extremely narrow in the sole, tight and uncomfortable. At first they have a strong scent. They are suede and will adjust to your feet very much like moccasins the Natives wore. My feet measure 10.5 inches long and are narrow so I went with a size 9 this time around(I usually wear a size 10). I am in the process of returning them for a size 10 in a flat sole style and in mens for that is all that is available (size 8 men's my preference). And yes my feet are in real pain with the 9s but I am positive the 10s will be easier for my feet to accustom to. The suede on these boots soften up with more wear. I hate them when they come out of the box but I have learned to love them as they form to my feet. They are supposed to fit tight at first but with enough space to adjust to your feet. Breaking them is simple, they become softer with wear and I never take them off especially in the spring summer and fall so that comes effortlessly. I live outside, these prevent my legs from getting attacked by prickers when hiking through them and tree sap. It's like wearing almost nothing on my feet and I DISLIKE SHOES A LOT so these are very helpful for protection and basically feeling the ground through the boots as I climb trees etc. They are great for every occasion so I am still fashionable even tho my days and nights are spent in the forest but when I have to dress up or go to a funeral they are still looking good. Sometimes with a little wipe down ;) I am really hoping the exchange goes smoothly and can't wait for my size 10, smooth soles to arrive. Pair these with a good water repellent spray inside and out and these boots are perfect for everyday even when you lose balance and fall into a swamp.

Beautiful. This is my third pair of Minnetonka boots. I have a brown pair, a tan pair and now these in black. In trainers I wear an 8 1/2 wide. In these boots I always order a size 10 and they fit perfect. I always get lots of compliments on them and they handle my foot swelling and shrinkage like a second skin. My first pair I got over ten years ago and they still look fabulous. Great for church, cosplay, rock concerts and everyday. Great value for the money. No smell I’ve ever noticed except the smell of leather.

So far, these boots have been everything I was expecting. I've been trying to wear minimalist style shoes and I spent the summer/fall wearing Soft Star mocs. With winter on the horizon, I knew I would need shoes that were warmer and that wouldn't take so long to dry if they got wet (my mocs take ~3 days because of the sheepskin lining). Having had a roommate with similar boots, I chose these. Having worn no shoes/moccasins for ~6 months, my toes have a spread out. Even so, the toe box of these boots is more than wide enough for me. The color matched the picture very closely and the sizing was perfect. They are absolutely comfortable. I had my doubts about the insole, and I'm still not sure I like it. It's nothing special, just extra cushioning. What I like least about it is the slight slipperiness. I sometimes feel my foot slide if I'm walking on inclines. I imagine it would be worse with socks, but I haven't tried yet. I was a little conscious of the nubbed sole for the first day, but I hardly notice it anymore. The sole is fairly thin and very flexible. The ground feel is definitely nowhere near that of my mocs but I still think that there is a good amount. I can easily tell what kind of surface I'm walking on, I can feel it when I step on objects, and I like the traction. The boots are definitely comfortable. Being a fencer, I have asymmetrically muscled legs, but these boots fit like a glove. I sprayed them with Camp Dry right out of the box and I highly recommend everyone do the same. I've been able to wear these boots out in a true downpour (thanks to Hurricane Sandy) and there was no moisture penetration except through the seams. I've heard of people lining their shoes with duct tape on the inside of the seams, but I'll wait until I see how they do in snow first. The seams are a little uncomfortable. I suspect that this is due to the unevenness of the seams because there are only two spots where I have problems and they don't happen on both boots. One is on the outer edge of my right foot, the seam pokes my foot just below the pinky toe. The seams are stiff and ridged because of the stitching so I'm hoping that with time the leather will soften. On the left boot - and I think someone else mentioned they had this happen - the back ankle seam rubs the back of my ankle when I walk. It wasn't enough to cause blistering, and I mention it only because I was able to come up with a solution. If this happens to you, you can put a little piece of duct tape on the boot where it rubs and it won't irritate the skin anymore - yay! The only negative thing I have to say is that not all of the lace holes were punched and not all of them were lined up. From a manufacturing perspective, they were right to punch the holes before assembling the boots, but they should have some kind of quality control to ensure the holes line up and that all the holes are punched. Anyways, it was easy to fix. Get yourself an exacto knife (the sharper, the better) and cut out little circles. Don't try to punch through (unless you have an awl); that's bad for the leather, it will be a pain to get your lace through, and you'll wear through your laces faster. One final thing - before buying these boots, I read a lot of reviews which said it takes 10+ minutes to get them on. Um, NO. Loosen the laces when you take them off and you will be able to easily slip them on the next time. I wear my jeans with these and it only takes me 1 minute, MAX, to slip these on and that's only because I'm picky about how the laces hang. There are a million +1 tips online about tucking jeans into your boots - read a couple and save yourself some time. Hope this helps! Happy shoe-picking!

I fell in love with these boots the second I saw them online. After reading several reviews I decided to get a size 8 as I usually fall somewhere between an 8 to almost an 8 1/2. In person these boots are completely adorable and quality made. I've tried these in both an 8 & 9. The 8 is snug. Perhaps a bit more snug than I would prefer but the 9s are just too large. I decided to go with the 8s. With tights or thin socks they are actually pretty comfortable. However like other reviewers mentioned there is a spot in the back of the heel area that is a bit unpleasant and after walking in the boots for a few hours it does start to wear on you. I'm hoping that it will eventually break in and leave me with a wonderfully comfortable pair of boots. They do stain clothing and I imagine they will for a while till I break them in. Sadly I ruined a pair of tights but worth it all the same. For reference I am 5'7" these hit me just under my knee. If you are much shorter I don't imagine these will be very comfortable on you, as walking might be a bit odd due to their length. Others complained about these being difficult to lace up. PLEASE I had mine laced in less than 5 minutes, no problem. I completely recommend giving these boots a try keeping in mind the sizing is a bit strange and narrow. These go with just about anything!

I usually wear a 9-9 1/2 in dress boots, I size up to a 10 in heavy snow boots. I originally ordered the 9 (not on Amazon as the size wasn’t available here). They are made to fit snug to the foot like a suede sock. The 9 was too big. The heel had too much room and rubbed my ankle and felt lumpy. I reordered the 8, they were slightly snug in the shoe box but not short at the toes. After wearing twice, they are perfect. The soles are squishy, rubber, not slippery and comfortable. Not tons of arch support but I don’t have issues with that. I can wear them all day and they feel like comfy knee high slippers. Thanks to those that suggested purchasing round 72” laces. I purchased Kiwi round black laces from Amazon. The leather laces that come with the boot are more gray than black, they looked messy, were hard to pull through the holes as they were square and thick, to get the boots on and off. They were also hard to pull through holes to adjust and tighten the boot from knee to ankle. The new laces are round dark black and make the boot look dressier. They tighten easily to conform the boot from your ankle to your knee. The laces loosen easily so they are infinitely easier to get on and off. I used Scothgard suede protector (Amazon) and put on two coats. The suede color didn’t change. The suede is soft and supple, they are well made and a very rich inky black color. I’m very happy with my purchase.

I bought these one year ago in Tan and Black. I thought I should write a review, and an update. -in Euro sizes, I wear size 39-40. Normally I buy 8.5, but I bought these in an 8, and they are a perfect fit. I like my shoes tight and not much toe room, so I don't slosh around. I have very long legs and fairly skinny calves. These are perfect for my friend with thicker legs and myself since they can be loosened and tightened. -I would suggest when first owning these, you wear good quality socks and prepare for some rubbing before they shape themselves to fit you perfectly. BRING BAND-AIDS. Yeah, I know it sucks to break them in, but they are basically comfy socks when they are broken in. I could wear these everyday! -As of now, ( one year later) they don't have much wear and tear. I would suggest to anyone interested that they should buy these! Here are a few suggestions if you are interested in converting to the Minnetonka life. -Buy round laces in size 72". I prefer this because they are quicker to tighten and take off. - If you wear them enough to stretch them out a lot, or have very skinny ankles, make a new set of lace holes where the loose area is. For me, it was a little above the ankle, and because it wasn't as tight as it used to be, it lost a little structure, and my heel would lift a little while walking. I personally don't like it not snug to my foot. so I marked the spot, cut the hole out with thin scissors, and took a wood burner and singed off any loose debris in the holes. I marked the spot in my photo. I know my extra work in these boots might be seen an unappealing, but that's just something I enjoy doing, and I already love these and wear them so much, that the little extra work pays off. - DONT FORGET TO SPRAY THESE WITH SUEDE PROTECTOR. They will look better longer. If you look at the "people also bought", you'll see a few brands. I bought the kiwi suede protector.

Normally do not do reviews but i bought these in November 2024 less then a year later and the string snaps and the seam has come apart I paid a lot of money for these boots I did not wear them a lot and I took very good care of them I have a $30 pair of moccasin boots that I have had for five plus years and I'm still wearing them they are worn out but they've held together better than the pair that I paid over $100 for I waited years to buy this pair of boots and I'm highly disappointed

I usually wear an 8.5 (perfect fit, also 8.5 in Minnetonka brand moccasins) or 9 (if no half sizes), so I went ahead and ordered a size 9. The boots are a little on the larger/longer size compared to what I'd usually wear, but I think the 8 would be a tad too small. Feet kind of swell a little after long hikes too, and if I want to wear thick socks for the upcoming cold winter, then the 9 is just fine. These boots also keep your feet very toasty, despite not being lined with anything at all. I wanted to order the "brown" color but accidentally ordered "dusty brown", but I'm ok with the color. Dusty Brown has more grayish/colder hues to it compared to the Minnetonka-brand brown suede color which is definitely warmer. Both hues are great for autumn! And also, if you are planning on wearing these anywhere other than the inside of a building, do yourself a favor and protect the suede! Get a nice spray-on waterproofing sealer and maintain it every couple of months. Now having said that, I did use an entire can of spray on these boots plus my pair of moccasins.

Love these boots!I am a petite lady and i have difficulty finding bpots to fit my thin legs but because these are lace ups they fit perfectly!I got a UK 3 and I find boots are usually a little loose but these fit just right (so maybe they are slightly on the small side).rubbing a bit but need to break them in. Wore them today with a shirt dress...thinking of getting the black ones now!super quick delivery and good communication from seller too.

Tengo un 37 y he comprado un 37, quedan perfectas, son comodísimas , tengo varios modelos de esta marca y de éste en concreto ,es el segundo par que compro ,quedan perfectas con vaqueros con faldas vaqueras y shorts en verano. ideales las recomiendo

I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly! Did slightly give blisters at first, but that's as excepted with breaking in any new shoe! I love them! Very comfy.

Dieser Stiefel ist absolut empfehlenswert! Er passt genau und ist superbequem. (Habe Größe 40 und auch eine 40 bestellt). Er ist wirklich angenehm zu tragen und sieht einfach toll aus. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und habe eine riesen Freude damit. Man merkt sofort dass die Qualität des Leders top ist. Kann ihn nur weiterempfehlen! Er ist sein Geld wert!!

Stivali comodi e pratici, adatti ad un abbigliamento casual e boho-chic. I materiali sono molto morbidi, ottimi per diverse stagioni. L'allacciatura è un po' laboriosa e in principio sono un po' difficili da togliere, ma col tempo si adattano perfettamente al piede. La mia solita misura va bene.
