The business operates at the same address as Minnetonka Moccasin, a footwear brand founded in 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where it remains headquartered. The company began as a small business creating handcrafted footwear for roadside gift shops, with moccasins influenced by traditional Native American designs becoming its most popular product. Phillip W. Miller, who came to America from Poland and ran a corner grocery store in Minneapolis, became a partner shortly after the company launched and remained with it until his passing in 1986. Now in its fourth generation of Miller family ownership, with David Miller serving as CEO and his daughter Jori Miller Sherer serving as President, Minnetonka is the longest-running American moccasin brand. The company was named after nearby Lake Minnetonka, which means "great water" in the language of the Dakota Sioux tribe. In 1953, Phillip's son Marshall Miller joined the company, and soon thereafter Phillip and Marshall bought out the other partners. Nine years in, the company introduced its Thunderbird Softsole featuring a hand-beaded design, and in 2024, Anishinaabe designer Lucie Skjefte redesigned the beading as Thunderbird "Animikii". In the 1960s, Minnetonka gained a following among hippies drawn to its earthy colors and textures, and the company released its Classic Fringe Boot during the Summer of Love in 1967 and its Front Lace Knee High Boot in 1968, along with the Two-Button Boot, all of which remain beloved favorites. The footwear line includes moccasins, boots, slippers, and sandals for men, women, and kids, with products such as the Tempe, Chesney, Chandra, Sheepskin Softsole Venetian, Men's Pile Lined Hardsole, Native Designed Nizhoni Moc, Buckle Clog, and Native Designed Women's Thunderbird "Animikii" Hardsole. The brand also collaborates with Native artists, including Hannah Standstrong, a Duluth-based Ojibwe artist and citizen of the White Earth Nation who specializes in Northern Woodlands beadwork and moccasin making, and offers Native Designed products like the Minookamii Cerise and Minookamii Cally. The company ships via FedEx Ground Economy and FedEx 2-3 Day, accepts multiple payment methods including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Afterpay, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Venmo, and processes payments through PayPal, a PCI compliant service. Orders are typically shipped by the next business day, with expedited orders placed before 2:00pm Central Time shipping the same day.
