Founded in 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnetonka is a family-owned footwear company that translated the craftsmanship of traditional, Native American-inspired moccasins into a cornerstone of American casual style. Initially sold in roadside gift shops, the brand's fringed suede and soft leather shoes gained a loyal following, becoming synonymous with comfort and a laid-back, bohemian sensibility. The product line, which started with moccasins, has expanded to include slippers, boots, and sandals, all retaining the brand's emphasis on hand-crafted quality and durable materials like suede, deerskin, and moosehide.
