Acorn Slipper Socks have been providing extreme comfort to people’s feet for years. Acorn Slipper Socks are made of 85% wool, 13% nylon and 2% spandex, with the upper portion consisting of 93% cotton that is hypoallergenic and 7% spandex. The midsole is made of Acorn memory foam placed over a padded layer made of featherweight ethylene vinyl acetate, which promises to provide complete comfort for your feet. The sidewall consists of full-grain leather, while the outsole is made of suede leather, making Acorn Slipper Socks not only extremely comfortable, but also incredibly durable.
The company that makes Acorn Slipper Socks was founded in 1976 by David Quinn. Quinn’s vision for the slipper sock stemmed from his nostalgia when thinking about his family ski vacations, where he’d walk around the snow covered cabin wearing slippers that had socks attached to them. Quinn started working with local merchants and a cobbler to create these slipper socks as gifts for friends and family members. Quinn turned this into a business, with the aspiration of creating a product that gave “Comfort on Earth” to consumers. He prided himself on creating his slipper socks at a reasonable price, while providing a product of good, quality workmanship that would last. Since his first slipper socks that he created for family and friends, Quinn has continued to focus on quality and comfort, while constantly working on new and current styles. Acorn now makes slipper socks in many different styles and for each type of weather, so even the style conscious can wear them and look great!
Acorn Slipper Socks became so popular due to its high level of comfort that astronauts started wearing them in 1982, which created high visibility for the sock-maker. Using this free advertising from astronauts to his advantage, in 1982 Quinn’s business evolved from a boutique operation to a highly successful business with great visibility in the market. Because Acorn Slipper Socks have been on so many NASA missions on the feet of its astronauts, the Smithsonian has many of these slipper socks on exhibit at its National Air and House Museum.
Acorn has grown from a slipper socks manufacturing company to encompass many other types of footwear for both indoor and outdoor use. Acorn offers such footwear as the Slipper Sox, Polar Pairs, Tex Mocs, as well as other sheepskin products. Acorn produces shoes, slippers and socks for any type of weather. Although Acorn will remain famous for its slippers, in particular the slipper socks, it now makes shoes for wear outdoors yet with the feel of slippers. Acorn’s casual shoes provide all of the comfort of their slipper: they keep the feet nice and warm, while also keeping moisture out and providing incredible support for your feet. Acorn’s shoes do all of this while leaving your feet feeling completely relaxed, making one wonder if they are truly wearing shoes, or simply slippers made to look like shoes.
So whether you are in the market for socks that feel like your feet are wrapped in a cozy, warm blanket, slippers that make your feet feel like you are walking on clouds, slipper socks that give you a feeling of both, or outdoor shoes that feel like slippers, Acorn has everything you need. Best of all, your feet will thank you for treating them so well!
