Minnetonka, An American Classic

Everybody has at least one style they wear and most people have many.  The man who wears power suits all week does not wear them on the weekend when they go to work in the garden after all.  In that way Infinity Shoes and its brands are similar.  They carry many different brands to fit any sort of style,  From designer to designer there are some differences, however.  Mr Marten does offer quite a few models but they all have similar industrial looks.  Sebago, on the other hand, has a little more variety in what they offer.  Then you have Miz Mooz that leads the pack with all sorts of designs so you almost have to know it is one of their shoes to tell.  But Infinity Shoes does carry Minnetonka and they truly only do one type of footwear.


For those that don't know, Minnetonka is a very small town in rural Minnesota and they make footwear that reflects that.  They are not affected by what goes on in New York City or the runways of Paris and Malian.  No, they have their own style that is much older.  Theirs goes back to the Native Americans and the early settlers. 



Influenced as such, the Minnetonka line of footwear and bags have an unmistakable style of the woods.  Soft suede and fringes are the themes.  Even the soles on their shoes are softer than most shoes and almost resemble bedroom shoes which they also make  While it is the desire of most people to take off their shoes when they settle down for the day, a wearer of Minnetonka might forget they are even wearing them.



The soft suede that they come brings back thought of a much earlier time while being so comfortable you can forget you are wearing them.  There is a plethora of styles available.  Maybe you are looking for a boot the suede fringes but maybe you would prefer a moccasin.  The Thunderbird moccasin even has Indian-like beading over the toe and the Kilty is done in a gray suede.  The boots range from ankle to calf in length.  While soft soles are a favorite you can always find one with a a studded or hard sole if that better suits your needs.

If you are searching for that Native American look in footwear the you want Minnetonka and they can be found at the same place you can do most of your footwear shopping.  It is on-line at Infinity Shoes
