My Minnetonka Story: Leah Wise
What was your first pair of Minnetonka mocs?
My first pair of Minnetonka moccasins were actually my mother’s childhood shoes, given to her by her father as a gift. She wore them all through high school and even out wedding dress shopping. I loved them from the moment I saw them and stored them under my bed for years just to take them out and look at them on occasion (they were too big for me). They symbolized my mother’s childhood and early adulthood in the 70s, so they’ve remained very special to me.
Where were your first pair of Minnetonka mocs purchased?
I’d been eyeing Minnetonka mocs for years at every western store and leather shop, but my first pair were the Two Button boots; they were a Christmas gift from my parents in 2008, continuing the tradition started by my grandpa. Since then, I’ve purchased two more pair.
What is your favorite memory involving your Minnetonka moccasins?
I wore my mocs on my first Thanksgiving spent away from family. It could have been a sad event, but I spent it with friends and my husband; we struggled through all the dishes without our family’s aid and succeeded!
How far have you and your Minnetonka mocs traveled?
I’ve been all over Florida in them, but the farthest they’ve traveled is from Florida, where I lived for 12 years, to Charlottesville, VA, the first place I moved to after college and getting married. Charlottesville has been a place of self discovery and many new cultural and historical experiences for me, and my various pairs of moccasins have traveled with me through town on a weekly basis.
Describe your Minnetonka style.
I tend to prefer a vintage/preppy vibe in the way I dress. I wear Minnetonka mocs with anything from jeans and a simple t-shirt to floral dresses. They work all year round!

My Minnetonka Story: Ruth Reyes-Loiacano
What was your first pair of Minnetonka mocs?
I received my first pair of Minnetonka moccasins when I was a small child. However, it wasn’t until I was a teenager that I really began to appreciate the awesomeness of Minnetonka.
I clearly remember being in downtown Indianapolis, around my 16th birthday (15 years ago). My folks and I were in town for a Colts football game, but we went to the Circle Center Mall the day before the big game. We were walking through the Parisian Department store and I walked past a Minnetonka display and immediately turned around. I just HAD TO HAVE that pair of Thunderbird Mocs! I of course bought them with my own money and wore them out of the store, I was smitten. In fact, I am still wearing that pair of mocs 15 years later…they are still truckin’. A true testament to the quality of Minnetonka.
How far have you and your Minnetonka mocs traveled?
The coolest city my mocs (my first pair of Thunderbird mocs) have traveled to would be Zihuatanejo, Mexico for my honeymoon. I spent a week in a tropical paradise with my husband exploring the little fishing village in Mexico.
To prove just how comfy these shoes really are, I walked for three miles in those mocs one day searching for an avocado in Mexico!
Describe your Minnetonka style.
My Minnetonka style is eclectic, yet casual. I adore prints and patterns and anything with a nod to the 70′s. I love wearing my mocs with jeans and a cardi, or my boots with dresses and skirts!
