Side by Side Comparison of: Minnetonka vs Bearpaw

Gift for my future wife's uncle and she says "Uncle loves them and wears them very often." I forget if it was a Christmas gift for him or birthday gift but either way the uncle enjoys the gift often and fits his feet perfectly. She also inform me that they fit so good never hurts his feet no matter how long wears them around the house. So if your looking for a great relaxing shoe to wear around the house then buy this item for your boyfriend, husband or male relative that could use a gift like this for his own collection, and trust me he will thank you for it.

They fit to size, are comfortably padded inside, and have a nice sole that makes them great for letting the dogs out.

I have owned several pairs of Minnetonka Sheep Skin Slippers over the years. Thought I would give the Pile Lined a try. They seem to run a tad bit larger than the sheep skin. Not too much but a little. I still like the sheep skin better but I think these might hold up a little better on the outside. Overall I love them. Will probably buy sheep skin for my next pair.... but these are nice, especially for the price.

More expensive than the others listed, but the quality is excellent and they are very comfortable. As with almost all moccasins using leather laces, they work loose no matter what you do. My father-in-law told me he put a drop or two of super glue on the knots and they don't come loose. I tried that and it works great. They seem to be permanently knotted but can break the bond if you need to.

Let me begin my review by confirming that I bought these slippers for my husband; and after two failed attempts at buying him what I'd thought were Minnesota slippers identical to the ones he'd been wearing for "forever", I was really concerned at the reception the latest attempt would receive.. So it is with a sense of relief, and satisfaction I am pleased to confirm that these slippers were a hit right out of the box!! This time I had made a change in colour , from a lighter tan/camel shade to what I thought might be a better colour to make the transition from indoors to out, without looking too "slipper-like". I also opted for a wider fit, because I'd noticed my husband's feet seemed to have spread somewhat with age - or p'raps it is just that he's walking differently. Whatever, these slippers have been extremely well received, and yours truly got a gold star for her trouble!

My husband has been reluctant to wear slippers for years. We recently had our fairly new carpet cleaned and he volunteered to remove his shoes when he came in the house so he wouldn't make a mess by tracking in damp fir needles. I was vey appreciative but he commented that his feet were getting cold without his shoes on. I bought several pair of slippers, trying to find the right fit, warmth and style. These are the slippers that met all of the requirements and he loves them! The slippers are well made and very handsom. The best part is that his feet are warm and I don't have to vacuum nearly as often. :-) Thank you Minnetonka for comfy slippers, Amazon for your speedy delivery and great return policy and thank you to all of the reviewers who posted before and helped guild my selection.

I wear 11 1/2, but ordered 12 since they do not have my size. Fit fine. Shoes are comfy, but warm - should be great in cool weather. As noted by others, laces do not stay tied very long. I will glue when worn a bit longer.

Perhaps my favorite thing is that the laces are mostly exposed around the sides and back of the slipper. This means that I can actually replaces laces when/if they break, unlike so many cheaper moccasin slippers where the lace goes into a long tube, making it nearly impossible.Size: My left foot is about a 11.75 and my right is about an 11.5. I was concerned that they'd be too loose, especially the right one. Fortunately they change size well by adjusting the laces, albeit with a small amount of visible looseness on the sides.

I ordered these slippers on a whim and wasn't disappointed. They are really comfortable the hardsole bottom makes them extra durable for walking around my high school's hallways and walking to and from class as well. My only critique is that the color is a bit on the orange side. More than I would like. I was expecting more of a coffee-brown, not orange-brown. Other than that, these are perfect!

These were actually a replacement size ( 9 Wide) for original size received as gift (9 Reg). Was able to return gifted pair to Amazon on a gift receipt as they were a bit narrow and reordered corrected size. Was a bit hesitant on the "faux" fur lining promoting sweating but they breath ok.....close to natural lambs wool. Hope to wear them out over several years !

Some of the most comfortable slippers I've ever worn. After wearing nearly daily (Ordered in August of '14) they just split down the side by the sole. I'll probably buy another pair but for only being worn inside on carpet I'd have thought they'd have lasted a bit longer.

I lucked-out and bought a pair of these for $25.54 each, and they are GREAT moccasins for that price, no doubt, but they definitely run small by 1-1/2 to 2 full sizes. Like most folks, my two feet differ in measurement - they measure size 12 and size 12-1/2, respectively, and when I ordered a size 13, they were still too small, especially with socks.So, if you're considering a pair of these, and you intend to wear them with socks (which I strongly recommend), I would suggest ordering 1-1/2 to 2 full sizes larger than your largest foot size. Socks aren't completely necessary, but your feet will definitely get toasty, and they're likely sweat, which will taint the fleece lining of these mocs.NOTE: These are made of pure swede leather, and they don't wash very well, so a pair of washable socks will protect them nicely from the inevitable perspiration, and let you enjoy them for many more months or years than would otherwise be the case.

It's not a super fluffy slipper for cold days, more like a house slipper for just keeping your toes from contacting cold wood floors. The fit is okay, but the pile lining doesn't cover up the sides of the shoe, so the skin rubs against your ankles. Probably won't buy again. Best to go with the sheepskin slippers that are very warm and more comfortable.

The first pair I received was defective. The right shoe separated at the toe seam. I processed a request for a return and did not receive a return mailing label. The shoes (from past experience) are generally of good quality and comfort. I'm just disappointed that I had to go to so much trouble returning a defective product. I have another pair, and I visually inspected them closely around the deams. It appears that they are sound. I will let you know in a month after I've worn them a bit.

Does what good slippers do. Only 2 problems:The tag in the slipper is VERY ANNOYING if you are not wearing socks, and I don't think ripping it out will help.Laces don't stay tied very well.And I'm not a slipper connoisseur, but they seem a bit overpriced.

Product looked nice, felt nice, until I saw it was the wrong size and my wide foot had great difficulty finning them. I ordered a WIDE width, they sent REGULAR with (I re-verified my order to make sure it wasn't my mistake). I will not be sending them back, and will just try to work with the smaller size. As with most purchases I make, if a manufacturer screws up on such basic things as an order, I will never return. The product looks nice and sturdy, just what I was looking for, but you may want to consider another supplier.

I bought these to replace some similar UGGs. These are disappointing in that the product label runs under the arch of your foot and is uncomfortable. You can't just pull them out as they are glued in. I had to carefully cut the 3 inch long label out while trying not to cut off too much of the liner. They also don't have nearly the cushion of the UGG moccasins and I don't like to wear these for more than an hr or so at a time. Wish I would have just spent the extra money and gotten the same UGGs as before.

The fit was okay, neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. I cannot find any label that states the construction materials. I thought this was supposed to be provided for any item of clothing. I am also wondering about the absence of Country of Origin labeling. I carefully checked the slippers and the shoe box. I could not find any label for where the slippers were made. The online description sort of leads the buyer to kind of think the shoe is Made in America, without saying so. I sent an email to Minnetonka and they promptly replied, "Style 3908W is manufactured in our factory located in the Dominican Republic." I appreciate the quick response, but I rather thought all products have to indicate the Country of Origin.

I wish I didn't have to give these slippers such a low score but the stitching that holds the upper piece of leather in place has come loose. Otherwise they were nice warm, comfortable slippers. I've only had the slippers a month. If I can't return them I'm going to have to figure out how to repair them myself.

Good quality but very narrow for a size "wide". Don't buy these if you have EE or wider feet.

Product fits well. They are comfortable.However, the leather laces are a huge annoyance. They never stay tied and why have them if you have to hack them in order to keep them tied. Additionally, the stitching is coming apart Only had these 30 days. Poor quality.

These were a great fit and are comfy, but the quality of the laces did not last more than a few days for me. These shoes came 'pre tied', which after walking around a few times, came untied. Upon trying to re tie the laces, they unfortunately ripped in half.

The slippers were too small and I wanted to return them for the next larger size. It took over 10 days to get a return label. I asked them to exchange for a size 11, but they didn't exchange, but at least I did get a credit for them. This outfit must be from "up-north". I reordered a different brand from a different supplier and am satisfied.

This shoe only lasted three months before it split open. I selected this model because the rubber sole curves upward and seemed firmly attached to the suede upper. However the connection is not secure and after only a few months, the rubber ripped apart at the seam and detached from the upper.Now my pinky toes stick out! Perhaps I am a bit rough with the shoes as I like to run around a bit while playing with my dog.Great shoe if you don't over do it. Not so good for active play.

I purchased these slippers in February and after less than two months of light use, the side of one slipper spilt. I have a narrow foot, so there was not any undue pressure put on this area. I'm not sure whether this area was glued or sewn, but it is an obvious this was a flawed product.

Purchased as a gift for Xmas, 2016, March, 2017, I received the attached picture, with the sole separated from the shoe. I was so saddened that they fell apart and we're not an inexpensive slipper!

While the fit was fine, and they look good, these mocs are a pile of junk. They were bought as a Christmas gift for our son and they lasted about three weeks before the lacing unraveled. Minnetonka used to be a go-to brand for me, but I plan to avoid it in the future. Paying almost $50 for mocs that last three weeks is ridiculous.

Gifted these to my husband for Christmas. He loves the look and feel (initially a little tight) but what we are most bummed about is that after tying them the first time (after wearing for a day) my husband went to tie the laces and it broke right off! We are past the return date because I bought early for a Christmas gift though he opened it on Christmas so hoping the company will see this and help us with a refund.

love them! Well I did at first.I need to add to this review....within a very few months (less than a year and they're not the only pr. of moccasins I was wearing) they fell apart. They look like the photo someone else posted with one star. The rubber (plastic?) just tore out where it was sewed to the leather. They have been in the back of my closet for months and finally today I started to throw them away, then took them to my elderly but super shoe repairman. He said he couldn't repair them but that Minnetonka moccasins should NOT do that, that the rubber material was too cheap.I wasted my money

Wow...DISAPPOINTING. After 6 months of use they fell apart like rags...And to add insult to injury their return policy is only within a month. Minnetonka use to stand by their product and now things have changed. They're quality is in the dirt and they know it, so they close off returns before you have a chance to realize it...never again minnetonka
