The full name of Minnetonka is "Minnetonka Moccasin", and the word "Moccasin" means moccasin in Indian. Long before Columbus discovered the New World, Native American Indians had already started wearing moccasins. In this sense, moccasins can be described as "the first pair of shoes worn by Americans". Animal skins were simply processed to make the world's most comfortable moccasins, which are still popular today—from the streets of New York to the mountains of Colorado, from Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, to California From the seaport of Santa Monica, Asia, from London, England to Tokyo, Japan, wherever Minnetonka shoes embody the essence of "MOCCASIN" - a free spirit born of nature.
