Well, I have been wearing these for 2 wks now, they're ok. I had to add an extra layer of insoles due to my high arches. They're cute, comfy and I get compliments on them. The only downside I have is the stitching on the left outside runs across the top of my pinky toe (even without the extra insole) and rubs it wrong. This has me believing the cut is slightly off on the left side. The right side is perfect but the left isn't right.

I'm actually so happy with these little elf booties. I personally think they run big. While in theory I'm a true 7 (like 20 yrs ago), in actuality I can't remember the last time I was able to squeeze my feet comfortably in anything but an 8 (except for Birkenstocks) after two babies back to back followed by a year of high dose steroids. I ordered these in a 7 1/2 because I sized down a whole size to my "true size" before in Uggs at review suggestion and they never really stretched out enough for true comfort. This was likely a mistake. They fit in the width though by no means tightly but are a bit long and after three hours of wear had considerably loosened all over. I really should of purchased a 7 at least so they would be fitted like a sock as they are meant to because I'm sure these are going to be way too big way too quickly but when they are I'll use them for around the house and get a new pair for outdoors.

That being said, I'm not sending them back because I don't want to spend another day of my life without these shoes. I purchased the black and its a true, deep matte black and the fringe is neutral and lays perfectly flat. I also got them in the suede sole and I'm glad I did, I used to have a pair of suede sole mocs when I lived in Seattle and even walking at least ten miles a day mostly on concrete in that weather which isn't optimal conditions for these types of shoes (I didn't drive during those years) the mocs lasted three years before finally developing a hole. In more normal climates and usage these could easily last ten yrs (live in Texas and drive now lol). Don't believe people who say these can't be worn out of doors, they simply have to be seasoned properly by getting them wet and wearing on dirt and grass till the get slick and hard.

The seude on these is perfect. No its not the nearly nubuck softness of some higher end seude shoes I have but its not the rough cheapie suede either and in reality you wouldn't want a shoe like this to be any softer. Don't get me wrong, they ARE soft but they are thicker and sturdier than some suede which is just right. One thing I didn't realize is that these booties have like some kind of memory foam insert which my old mocs didn't and this makes them even more comfy. Like wearing suede socks with some cushioning, I think if I added a little arch support stick on insert it would be like going bare foot with arch support and foot protection. The zipper seems to work well but I could see where it could slide down. I would say these may work better on people with a more delicate foot and smaller ankle because I have bird bones and it looks like if I had a normal sized to large sized ankle then they might be fitted and look odd. They have enough room around my ankle and fit around my foot so well that they look ultra flattering. Also thanks to the simplicity and matte black of the shoes they also look more hip and less boho. So far I've only worn these with a pair of slim fit, vintage boyfriend ankle jeans and they work perfectly. Adorable perfection. I almost exclusively wear ankle length jeans due to my proportions and that's actually what I wanted a flat ankle boot for and these look super cool. However I think these will also look really good with summer dresses and even leggings and tunics this winter.

I honestly didn't think I would like this, both fit and style but haven't been able to find an ankle boot that worked for me so I decided to give these a quick try. I'm so in love. They're surprisingly comfy tho I will add an insert. I do have pretty nasty arthritis in my feet so I'm a bit particular about my shoes but these make me feel like I can leap about like an elf. And my feet kinda look Elvin too. I can't think of enough good things to say about these booties. No, they may not be for everyone especially if you have a wider foot or ankle and if you prefer true orthotics but otherwise these are amazing. I've owned hundreds of shoes, many costing hundreds of dollars and these are surprisingly enough the absolute favorite shoes ever. They have everything I could ever want in a shoe. Even my mom, who rolled her eyes when I said I ordered this, flipped out when I put them on and even more when she tried them on. She hates completely flat shoes and has truly disformed arthritic feet and she ordered a pair an hr after I received mine. Plus she hates these kind of styles but thought these looked surprisingly hip and sophisticated for a moc bootie.

So...another convert. If you think these may work for you please give these a try but read up on seasoning the sole and they'll last a good while depending on your usage and weather conditions. Now I'm ordering some in other colors and I really, really wish minnetonka would bring these back in pebble leather and not just as the occasional overpriced promo product because seriously, how much more versatile!!!

Edit: while these are still my favorite shoes ever the tab on the back crumbled the second time I wore them making it difficult for my arthritic fingers to close the back. I am going to contact the sender and hope they are able to send me a replacement tab but its disappointing quality for that to happen the second time I out them on and makes me sure the other side will do the same. I will still purchase more because I love the style and comfort but they need to put better quality pulls on the back.

I purchased the moccasins, so when I went for walks with my dog in nature I could have a better connection with the earth.
When they first arrived and I put them on, I thought that they were too small. I wore them with socks for a few days and got them wet before wearing them. That did the trick perfectly! . Now I wear them everywhere I go and I even played softball in them the other day. Earthing aside, I noticed that my feet had much better function because it was as if I were barefoot. Except when I stepped on rocks or gravel it didn't hurt. I'm glad I stuck with the size that I did, because if I had traded up for a bigger size then they would've been too big after being broken in. I absolutely love and adore these moccasins. I'm wondering if I will ever go back to shoes.

Am in love with this shoes, as you can see in the pictures they are very narrow and left side stitching it's not even. Read the reviews and thought that I would probably get different story but found out it was true. For me this was not a big deal, what it was it was that the zippers kept coming down and shoes were loose. Hopefully my replacement will be better. Other than that, shoes are perfect. Very confortable and easy to adapt to your feet! Definitely recommend!!

OMG, these mocassins are Great! I wish I hadn't waited so long to order them.
I waffled for over a month about whether or not to order them due to worrying they'd be too narrow and I'd have to return them.
It's hard enough to buy shoes without trying them on but when lots of the Reviews are saying that they run VERY narrow I tend to worry that they DO, ya know? ;)

I usually wear a 9 or a 9.5 medium width so, due to the reports of them running narrow, and the fact that these didn't come in 9.5, I ordered a size 10.
Since these shoes in a size 10 fit, in length, like a 9.5 on me and the fact that the width fits, literally, "like a glove", I'm marking the fit as "somewhat small". I just hope they don't stretch out TOO much---and if they do I'll revise this review to give a heads up to "go down a half size rather than up a half size", as I did.

But, having said all that, I am SUPER happy with the way these feel! "Like a suede glove" is truly what they feel like! I Love the soft, leather bottoms and the light insole. SO comfy!
I put them on as soon as they arrived and haven't taken them off since--approx. 7hrs now--and they feel like a pair that I'd already broken in. The leather is just that supple and the seams are that smooth. Very well made shoe---I wish they were made in the USA, though. :o\

I got the black, and it's a deep, dark, true black---nothing "dusky" or faded about it. So far, none of the dye has rubbed off onto my skin. The fringe lies nice and flat, and I hope it stays that way. The nylon zipper in the back is what I'd call a med. weight and seems sturdy enough---just be careful putting your foot in that you don't pull the opening too wide or it might damage the zipper. The best way I can describe how I put these on was like putting on socks, almost....sorta shimmied it on until my toes were all the way to the end and then slipped the heel up.

I like them so much, right out of the box, that I'm SO tempted to order another pair right now.... I just can't decide if I should order another pair in black or go for the brown ones this time. ;)

EDIT: Note that these do NOT have a "thin rubber sole" as the description states--they're completely soft leather outer soles.

EDIT 2: I've been wearing these for several days in a row now and I STILL love them. In fact, I still love them so much I just this minute ordered another pair in Brown. :)
I have to admit that while wearing them there has been a little black dye transferred onto my skin (I wear them barefooted, no socks) but it washes off easily and is lessening with each wearing.
