Welcome to our men’s winter shoe fashion guide. With the season, you want shoes that offer versatility and durability. As with any season, comfort is also key. Across generations, men have appreciated how our shoes look and feel. Here you’ll find shoes with Minnetonka’s trademark quality. And just because the temperature drops doesn’t mean style has to cool down. Our timeless selections will easily coordinate with classic men’s winter pieces. We also share tips on how to style them together. Read on to discover the best winter shoes for men, including moccasins, boots, and slippers in disguise.
SMOOTH LEATHER MOCCASIN: MOOSEHIDE CLASSIC
The Moosehide Classic is our most handsome luxury moccasin. Ideal for winter, moosehide is thick, durable, and supple soft. With the Moosehide Classic, you get the classy look of a leather loafer with the rustic touches of a moccasin and durable sole. The accents include moccasin stitching, rawhide lacing and a cushioned sole.
This men’s moc can complete work-from-home outfits, or be worn for special seasonal occasions. It’s the go-to when you want to look polished but still be as comfortable as possible. While they’re great to wear when relaxing at home, take advantage of their durable high style. The Moosehide Classic complements luxury fabrics, such as cashmere sweaters, tweed coats, or leather jackets.
COZY LINED MOCCASIN: PILE LINED HARDSOLE
Everyone is grateful for a lined shoe to keep feet nice and cozy in the winter. The Pile Lined Hardsole has this premium feature for extra warmth and comfort. It’s an ideal pick if you’re looking for a soft, cushioned suede slipper. Enjoy the traditional moccasin attributes and the Sierra sole, which is ready for indoor and outdoor wear.
Winter is all about adding subtle textures and style to warm ensembles. Match the suede shoes with slim or straight-fit cords, and add another layer of warmth with snuggly wool socks. Hats or chunky scarves are other textured accessories to top off your look. If you're feeling bold, add a pop of color with a neon beanie or bright turtleneck under your layered neutrals.
The Pile Lined Hardsole is also a terrific house shoe. Even when the thermostat is set to high, hard floors can still be frigid throughout the season. A retro cardigan (like Cobain’s grandpa sweater) is a cool and effortless look when sipping whiskey by the fireplace.
SUEDE INDOOR / OUTDOOR MOC: TAFT
For the slipper that goes the extra mile, try the Taft. This slide-on loafer is from our Home & Away collection. The footwear from this line has all the wonderful qualities of a slipper, but comes equipped with our MinnTREAD sole that’s suitable for outdoor wear. The inside features a removable contoured footbed, and is entirely lined with soft berber. It’s available in two colorways that are perfect for winter wardrobes. Choose between the rich Brown or the deeper Autumn Brown.
Made with premium suede and a rawhide lace accent, Taft is flattering with dapper outerwear. Start with chinos and a button-down shirt or turtleneck. Layer on a pea coat or wool overcoat to “sleigh” a seasonal look. Sweaters are also fashionable options, and you can’t go wrong with a classic cable knit. For a more casual or modern feel, opt for a relaxed oversized sweater or hoodie.
STREET-READY CUSHIONED SLIDE-ON: ALDEN
Alden is a versatile slide-on that will work with a variety of winter gear. It has a comfy suede upper and elastic twin gore panels for easy on/off comfort. A familiar sneaker construction you love, the no-tie slip on style allows for maximum movement. Alden would be a welcome and cozy addition to your shoe wardrobe with its cushioned footbed and soft berber lining. While it’s loaded with these comfort features, it also has a sturdy street-ready sole.
Wear Alden with any athleisure wear. A hoodie and jogger combo is all you need to head out and about for everyday activities. Try a sporty zip-up sweater, or a shearling jacket. The toe-warming shoe coordinates well with all the popular winter neutrals, such as charcoal, navy, grey, or camel. For an elevated occasion, Alden can also do smart casual. Pair the shoes with dark denim jeans, a long-sleeved top, and a wool blazer for a classy winter look.
STYLISH SUEDE BOOT: TWO BUTTON HARDSOLE BOOT
Boots are a winter wardrobe essential. That’s why you need a strong pair of men’s casual boots in your arsenal. The Two Button Hardsole has long been a part of Minnetonka’s rich heritage. Designed in the ‘60s, the spirited era contributed to its distinctive fringe accents and metal concho embellishments. With no zipper, the men’s ankle boots fasten with suede ties. As soon as you slip them on, you can feel the craftsmanship and durability of a long-time heritage product. The boots are also riding a resurgence after being featured in the blockbuster Tarantino film Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. For winter outfits, you can lean into their retro appeal, or go fully modern. Stylish guys will love them! The Two Button Boot looks terrific with denim. Start with jeans, layer on a flannel, and top off with a denim jacket. To kick things up a notch, wear with black jeans and a rich long-sleeved top or sweater. Or balance the brown boots with a brown suede jacket for a rustic, monochromatic style. Don’t forget to try our limited edition Olive color, a special release for our 75th Anniversary!
