With a sturdy construction and a reinforced sole, these indoor-outdoor slipper boots are designed to take you from relaxing at home to in line at the coffee shop. About Minnetonka Minnetonka moccasins made their first appearance in Minneapolis gift shops in 1946. In almost every decade since, Minnetonka introduced a new design from the beaded Thunderbird to the fringed Driving Moccasin that helped transform the family business from a roadside staple into an American icon. Now in its fourth generation of ownership, Minnetonka still imbues each silhouette with the craft and comfort that define their legacy.
