In 1946 Phillip Miller founded Minnetonka Moccasin a company out of Minneapolis Minnesota. Today David Miller, the grandson of Phillip Miller, is the president of the company but still receives the support and input from his father Marshall. For over 50 years Minnetonka Moccasin has been a family owned company that takes pride in their work.
Native Americans are most associated with the moccasin which at that time was a simple shoe made from one piece of leather stitched together on the top. In the 1950s moccasins were a popular item bought at souvenir shops while families visited places like the Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon. The 1960s brought the flower child and hippie generation that made the fringe style moccasin a must have item. 1970s was an urban cowboy craze and a beaded moccasin was all the rage. Driving moccasins raced into the 1980s and was a huge success because of the unique soles and comfortable fit.
If you long for the 60s and want to feel the freedom of a hippie, Minnetonka Moccasin still makes the fringed moccasin. If it is the urban cowboy craze you desire the Thunderbird beaded moccasin is still in production.
