I bought these hoping I could find a shoe to wear around the house.  But after owning these for a few months, they have stretched out so much I can no longer wear them.  The big toe area has a big hole in the leather, the ties keep coming apart and never stayed tied.  I will not buy Minnetonka shoes anymore.  Such a shame because they use to be quality made, now they are a piece of nothing.  Maybe they are this way because they aren't made in the USA anymore.
