MinnetonkaWomen's Sheepskin Ankle Boot

My mom swore by Minnetonkas'. She used to call buying cheap stuff ‘stepping over dollars to pick up dimes’. I don’t know how she did it but she only bought Minnetonka slippers and Moccasins. They were an investment in quality and comfort. They kept our feet toasty warm and lasted a long time. They used to be special slippers. I continued the tradition because they were worth it - until now. These will be my last Minnetonkas. These were a real disappointment. The leather is much thinner and the shearling is thinner too. I went up a size like I’ve always done to allow for the thickness of the shearling. I needn’t have bothered. My regular shoe size would have been just fine. They also aren’t as warm. I had a ten hour back surgery a couple years ago and my feet have been cold and numb ever since. It was a trade off because I can walk again. My old Minne’s finally gave out so I’d been wearing Merino wool socks under a cheap pair of $7 slipper socks to keep my feet warm. It did the trick and kept my feet nice and toasty. Then I got a wild hare and decided to invest in some nice new Minne’s. My $7 slipper sock keeps my feet warmer than these do. These just aren’t the same. The sole is thinner too. They’re also weirdly made. The only way you can tell left from right is to look at the soles which is annoying when you’re trying to put them on in a hurry. They feel awkward on your feet too - like you’ve put the wrong shoe on the wrong foot. I guess if you’ve never experienced the quality of what Minnetonkas used to be you’ll be ok with these. If you’re expecting a great slipper, these aren’t it.

As others have mentioned, these run small and are too narrow for your average foot. I have a pair from about 4-5 years ago and after receiving my new pair and realizing how narrow they are in the front for my average feet, I compared the new slippers with my old ones and there was a clear and obvious difference in the two with the new slippers being more narrow 'and' shorter than the old one, with both being the same size. This is really disappointing as this is a company I have had high expectations for in the past. I will try the men's slipper hoping that they will be wider and fit comfortably noting that the same size in the mens shold be larger than the womens.The size I ordered in both the womens and the mens are size 9.

Very good product. Very well made. Good materials. Good looks.Sizing not good. That's why 3 stars, could have been 5.First ordered size 8 1/2 Wide, the normal size for my wife on anything else.It wouldn't begin to go on her foot/too small. Returned them for credit.Reordered 10 1/2 Wide. (a guess based on previous)Just about right but still slightly tight. Heel must be 2 hand pulled on using the cuff.11 Wide would have been better for a comfy house slipper.No markings anyplace on the slipper on size.The manufacturer needs to adjust sizes of materials according to 'true American sizes'.And provide a size marking on the product, either stamped in the sole or a sturdy visible marking inside.We'll keep the "as sold" 10 1/2's but will never order again without worrying about size.

So I ordered a size 7 tan pair, and they were WAY TOO SMALL. My toes were all mashed up against the front of the shoe. Fine. I order a size 8. THEY ARE HUGE. At least an inch of shoe left over past my toes.The fur lining felt nice. I am not keeping them so I can't speak to durability.Bummer. Onward in the hunt for a sheepskin slipper. (It took a week to get the first pair and five days to get the second, so I am not spending any more time playing size roulette with this brand.) Such unevenness in sizing. Maybe they're knockoffs.

I've been wearing these almost non-stop since I got them a month ago. Seriously, I work from home and when I'm home I only wear these. My floors gets ice-cold, so these have been heaven. The inside is soft and fluffy, but I always wear socks with these (thinking it might cut down on odors and wear). The top of one of the slippers rubbed on my foot for a few days, but wearing thick socks helped stretch it out and now they're perfect. I feel confident walking down the driveway and into the yard if I need to; the soles are sturdy. I like that the flap can be turned up or down. Normally I have to buy new slippers every season because I'm so hard on them, so we'll see how these are doing after the winter. At least it will be easy to get some sherpa-type insoles if I need to replace those. Overall, this was totally worth the splurge for something that gets so much use.

What a sad story! I have had these same Sheep Skin Ankle Boot for five years! There were of perfect quality then! But for the new ones!I wish that I could say that about the current Sheep Ski Andle Boot... But NO WAY!!! At $82.00 bucks, you would expect better Quality. I Purchased through Amazon, I thought that I would all MinneTonka, whichI have just done. I called MinneTonka just now... They could Care Less about my sad concern! The lady on the phone said...Sorry there is nothing that we can do. Contact Amazon Prime and take it up with them.I did Just That.... I have just now gotten off the phone with Amazon Prime and I explained to therepresentative my concerns...Such as. lining not going to the top of boot. Sharp leather inseamon the outside of the Boot, where is is "Not Covered" with the lining, that is rough and sharp onthe foot. One size was larger than the other!Unfortunately! The Amazon Prime rep said... So Sorry! We can have you return the item to us,we will print you a Return Label, However....THERE IS NO EXCHANGE ON THIS MINNETONKA BOOTof Anytype!This means that I will have to go to the Amazon Return Store, (I am a senior lady) and then I willhave to wait up to two weeks for my Refund from Amazon. I do not have the money to reorder@ another $82.00, just to take a chance!I say.... Be Careful when ordering from Minnetonka... They will Not Help You In Any Way,If You Have An Issue!Now I have to return this faulty product to the Amazon Return Store!This is All that I have to Comment On for Now!Good luck to you! Kt

Like the warm soft feeling on my feet as well as comfortable when walking with them. Use them primarily as a house shoe. The very same pair we first received had to be returned as they where too tight based on my regular shoe size but the next size bigger fixed that. Normally people like a house shoe that is easy to put on and take off , like a slip on.

I have bought the Minnetonka Sheepskin a few weeks ago and i wear them always when i am at homethey are really amazing! so warm, so comfythey fit amazingso glad i have ordered them !

Great slippers!
