I was very attracted to a few pairs of gray boots on sale on Net-a-Porter. Luckily, none of them were available in my size. If I had ordered them but they weren’t comfortable, I would have had to tangle with Net-a-Porter’s customer service people in order to return the boots. The last time I had to return something to Net-a-Porter, the situation got very ugly. I think “words” were exchanged, and those words weren’t “This was a good shopping experience!”
The boots are beautiful anyway.
In unrelated boot news, Jimmy Choo seems to have been inspired by Minnetonka.
Speaking of Minnetonka, I’ve lusted after the following Minnetonka boots since high school. But where would I wear them now? I think I’ll just keep ogling them from a distance. Or I can get them and fondle them when I’m alone. What do you think?

since i live in AZ i’ve never oogled anything by minnetonka but those are awesome. very dances with wolves/in britneys hand and not her feet in a public bathroom.
you could buy every color for the same price as the Bottega Veneta. i’m just sayin in case you couldn’t pick a color.
Chic and Charming says
Yummy! I love the Olivia Morris pair!
enc says
Those Olivia Morris, WOWEE.
Poster Girl says
I didn’t know Minnetonka made so many different colors! I got a pair of brown ankle length moccasins from Urban a few months ago, they’re quite comfortable.
Princess Poochie says
I love the Miu Mius. And yes, get the light blue Minnetonkas. I’m sure you can rock them all over town, confuse the heck out of the “fashion slaves” and inspire the Sartorialist to feature your gorgeousness.
Luv
Poochie

I like the bottega. And you’ve been tagged.
bronwyn says
Yes, please…the first three gray boots I want all of them. I’m not too keen on the mocassin boots, just a matter of personal taste – but they look good for snow and bad weather.
evie says
and those words weren’t “This was a good shopping experience!”
LOL. and what a bargain on the olivia morris pair! forget about how they look (although i’m not saying they look half bad)… think about the savings! too bad about the size. or maybe for Net-A-Porter, thank god there weren’t any in your size haha
Blue Floppy Hat says
They’re ALL gorgeous boots, though I’m wondering about how easily those ice-cream-coloured ones will get scuffed and dirty on the streets of NYC..but they definitely look stroke-able.
sid says
Love these boots. Pretty expensive though. especially for us poor South Africans. Have to multiply each dollar by 7.
Elisabeth says
Oh wow; the Olivia Morris are to die for *drool*
Miss J. says
I Love the Bottega. Remember girls: Nice shoes will bring you to nice places.
Besos!
Jay Cam says
dang those are all so expensive!
let’s just say i will not be buying anyone those boots either!
Dustcakeboy says
The Miu Mius are luscious. If only the mens footwear was as drool-worthy.
DCB.
srorie says
i just found another blogger in AZ because of minnetonka boots!!! YAY!
oh yes, back on topic–minnetonka boots. curse them to hell. i love them so much but everytime i rock one of the nine that i own i look like i’m trying too hard to be a hessian ala 1991…it’s only natural i’d want to put feathers and wear househusbands iron maiden tee.
Mash says
I absolutely love the Olivia Morris boots &hearts
La Belette Rouge says
Love those Bottegga Veneta boots. However, I am not a fan of the squaw boots.
WendyB says
Weasel!Not even RED squaw boots? I’m telling you, if they had those three-rows-of-fringe boots in red, I’d get them and dance around the house in them.
In Yr Fshn says
I have had a long distance love affair with Minnetonka for many years now. Sadly, I lack the courage to go for it. The Olivia Morris boots, though… I’ll second enc’s WOWEE.
LBIC says
The miu miu ones are fabulous and sadly, I must admit that I own a pair of mocassins that i’ve worn too recently to admit when.
The Lady Who Doesn't Lunch: says
I’m very fond of the Bottega woven leather boots, but the heel height will never do.

jennine says
ah! the bottega veneta ones are lovely!
hehe… returning online orders can suck sometimes, i once had to exchange ‘words’ with homedepot.com
not as glamourous as net-a-porter
LoveHateSensation says
The Bottega Veneta looks wonderful.
Exchanging words with customer service is something I think everyone has had to deal with. Last week I had to deal with Victoria’s Secret because I ordered a wonderful bag from their PINK collection and instead I received some horrible looking SKECHERS boots…
Miss Woo says
This is the first time I’ve seen pink minnetonkas! Now I want a pair..
Camilla says
like the shoes 😀
molly says
the words minnetonka always remind me of “you have to purify yourself in the waters of lake minnetonka” (have you seen purple rain?) haha
i NEED a good pair of boots, thanks for the inspiration
Miss Janey says
The best thing to do with mocassins is mock them.
Carolina Lange says
Those grey boots are beautiful! I love the Miu Miu!
WendyB says
Just don’t berate my butt bow.
123Valerie says
I would think one could find a myriad of occassions for those knee-high Minnetonkas.
Romantic role playing comes to mind first, but I guess you could also grocery shop in them.
I love the aqua ones.
Sonja says
I love the Olivia Morris ones!
ParisBreakfasts says
GREY / GRIS is IN!
BUY THEM!
This is a command!
The Seeker says
love the gray boots, but I understand you, sometimes we need something comfortable.
Never bought on Net-A-Porter…
bitterbabe says
hOT DAMN! i love those miu miu boots!
Wendy says
Those boots are so sleek! Really digging the Olivia Morris pair.
riz says
Gorgeous! I am really secretly afraid of the sale at NAP. I feel it could ruin me…
ambika says
Oh my gosh, the Olivia Morris boots! So perfect!
aficionada says
I caved in and bought some. Pics on my blog soon. ♥ ps: you are not alone I understand your fascination with Minnetonka-fringey boots! 😉
