"Having bought a pair of Minnetonka's in the past, I couldn't wait to buy these! The good: beautiful leather and they are so comfortable I could wear them for days! The bad: there is no real sole to these shoes so you have to really watch the weather for rain. They make my feet look long. The stitching across the top has started to come undone after about 5-6 wears. Not what you expect at this price point. Tried contacting Minnetonka directly to see if they do repairs, but no go. Since it's beyond the return date for dsw I'm on my own. Since they are so comfy and the leather is so beautiful I hate to give them up, so trying to find a leather worker locally who can help."
