The Minnetonka slippers refer to the slippers made from the skin of animals, which are generally deer's skin. They are used by both men and women. They are specially designed to appear to be made from skin of deer. For this, they are made from tanned sheepskin and the some fur is attached over it. So anybody who looks at them may think of them to be really made from the deerskin. In addition to this, the Minnetonka slippers very luxurious and comfortable feel and look. These days most common material used for making them is sheepskin. Therefore, they are not made by killing the endangered deer from the forest. The skip skin used for them is quite good when it comes to thickness and softness. Though it is not too thick, it is sufficient to provide good strength and protection. Therefore, the Minnetonka slippers made from it are sufficiently protective from cold as well as from the mechanical injuries that the feet can face.

Because of the flexibility and strength, the Minnetonka slippers last long. The vamp of the Minnetonka slippers is made from either a single piece of tanned sheepskin, which may be folded in a shape perfectly covering the feet. Alternatively, the ones, which are made by joining two or more pieces of sheepskin, are also available. Buying them can save some money. However even though they are made from separate pieces there is not much difference in their durability and it is not possible to make this out by looking at them. The middle and external soles are generally made from rubber While, the internal sole is made from sheepskin. They have a coating of fur throughout their outer and some parts of the inner surface. This is properly designed. The fur is generally present in the form of lining covering the vamp and this extends from heels, to toes, from both the sides of the feet. The fur is also present at the peripheral part from where we insert the foot. Therefore, this acts as padding for the parts of the foot, which has maximum contact with the Minnetonka slippers.
