The Minnetonka Layer Fringe Boot is a fashionable moccasin style boot with three layers of soft suede fringing; perfect for emulating a Boho vibe!
The fringed boot scores 10 out of 10 for style & price as the tassels make a unique touch and although trendy, are likely to be in fashion year after year, so well worth the investment which starts at $66.99 – a reasonable price for a gorgeous staple boot.
It is let down somewhat by the fit however, and only score a 6 out of 10 for fit, as it can be tricky to decide which size to buy as the boots run small but eventually stretch.

Overall Review
The Minnetonka Layer Fringe Boot is super trendy and compliments nearly all outfits. The fringed boot dressed down will add a cool and interesting touch to leggings and jeans, or dress the boots up by wearing them with a cute floral dress. The 12” tall boots are made from a high quality and soft suede with a roomy moccasin toe for a comfy fit – wearers have also reported a pleasant rustling sound from the tassels as they swish through their day!
Pros and Cons of the Minnetonka
Wearers have reported difficulty pulling the Minnetonka boots on and complained of a tight fit, but as with all Moccasin style shoes they should stretch over time. The boots also lack arch support which is normal for fashion footwear, for more adequate support simply insert cushioned inner soles. If you’re unlucky enough to live in a rainy area, ensure your fringed suede boots are protected with a suede protectant spray, as the rain may ruin the material.

How to they compare with others?
If you’re worried about the fit and support of The Minnetonka Layer Fringe Boot then you may want to consider the Peace Moccasins by Old Friend Jamie Fringe Flat Boot $120. The similar style tassel boot has an easier fit thanks to its side zip and also boasts a cushioned foot-bed and full length TPR sole, providing comfort for tired feet. The Jamie Boot also has a trendy tribal pattern printed on the toe and a colourful bead tassel, although the added embellishment makes these boots less versatile than the Minnetonka boots and the price tag of $120 is expensive for a pair of statement boots that will only compliment a few outfits. Overall the Minnetonka Fringed Boots are better value thanks to their lower price and multi-purposes.
Who Should Buy The Minnetonkas?
Women of all styles are bound to find a place for the Minnetonka Layer Fringe Boot in their shoe repertoires thanks to its versatile design. Fans of the Ugg style sheepskin boots will particularly like this boot as it can be used for similar purposes, making it a refreshing and trendy substitute. The tassel style is also ideal for festival lovers, pair with denim shorts or a hippy dress for a relaxed boho style.
Are these boots true to size?
This is one of the main questions asked when buying the Minnetonka boots. Some wearers have suggested purchasing a size up and wearing with insoles and thick socks. Others strongly suggest buying your actual size as the material eventually stretches to the perfect fit, sometimes within an hour of wearing them. The best action to take is to choose your true size and break the boots in by wearing them around the house for a few hours, if they still feel uncomfortable exchange them for a larger size.(Any good on-line store will allow you to do this, just check the returns policy before buying!)
